Non-proliferation crusader Obama ponders a visit to nuclear ground zero: Hiroshima

HIROSHIMA, Japan — For nearly 71 years, the consequences of the world’s first atomic bombing have remained close to the surface here.

Construction workers digging under the Peace Memorial Museum recently discovered the charred and mangled remains of a bicycle, a rice paddle, a toothbrush and a fountain pen, tangible artifacts of a civilization that was buried in ash on Aug. 6, 1945.

[Cheerio]

I don't believe the Liar-In-Chief has apologized to the country of Japan yet and he only has 284 days, 9 hours left.

[DoughtyOne]

This guy is too vile and comical for words.

[Dilbert San Diego]

I expect that he will apologize for Hiroshima. And he will also officially apologize for slavery. Apologize for Jim Crow laws. I expect that before he leaves office, he will apologize for things in our history which cause revulsion in today’s liberals.

[Fido969]

Maybe the dingbat could visit the site of some POW camps the Japanese operated during the war, too.

[Maceman]

He wants a second chance to apologize for Hiroshima, since the Japanese wouldn't allow him to do it the last time he was there in 2009.

WHEN OBAMA WANTED TO APOLOGIZE FOR HIROSHIMA

[Fido969]

Of course, he cheers the slaughter of thousands of Americans retaking the Pacific island.

He is FOR killing Americans.

[Gasshog]

Maybe the Ponderer-N-Chief will realize dropping that A-Bomb saved thousands more Japanese and American lives than were snuffed out.

But that would be like expecting.. too too much.

[Gasshog]

What grounds does Juggy have for apologizing to the Japanese?

Kenya didnt drop the bomb on them.

[dp0622]

284 days is plenty to finish the destruction of the greatest country ever.

[DoughtyOne]

Yes, and if we don’t pick the right guy to follow on, it’s over.

Ted has no experience in top level leadership or finance.

[billorites]

Haven’t the people of Hiroshima suffered enough?

[buckalfa]

Uh, the ultimate legacy builder, the unilateral nuclear disarmament of the United States? After all America is the only nation to have used nuclear weapons. I want to say this is sarcasm, but Obama becomes more and more dangerous as January 2017 approaches.

[max americana]

“He is FOR killing Americans.”

Yup. Don’t be surprised if he goes for the jugular and hold a conference on a grave of an American Marine on Iwo Jima to apologize more..

[D Rider]

Factually inaccurate. Hiroshima was atomic not nuclear.

[Haiku Guy]

I’m only going to say this once, so I’ll say it loud.

OBAMA! WE HAVE NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE ABOUT HERE!

[rbg81]

Will he sign an Executive Order giving up all our nukes? Would not put it past him.

[Stosh]

Too bad we couldn’t make his very next photo-op after Hiroshima a visit to Detroit - the contrast between capitalist recovery in Japan and Democrat party socialist destruction in the States could hardly be more striking.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

An apology is just now being drafted in the WH speech writer’s office.

[Mouton]

He is 61years too late to have been there. To bad.

[armydawg505]

He would have been happier had a half million white Americans died in the invasion of Japan.
