President Barack Obama recently became the first U.S. president to visit Hiroshima, Japan, one of the two cities decimated by atomic bombs dropped by a B-29 bomber on August 6, 1945 in an effort to defeat the Japanese and halt the war in the Pacific. A second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki three days later, and six days later the Japanese surrendered, bringing World War II to an end.
In recent years it has become chic in some circles to criticize the United States and insist that the atomic bombing of the two cities was unnecessary. The huge loss of life to that point in the war and the Japanese ethic of fighting to the death would clearly indicate otherwise, but the Left is always anxious to criticize the United States and to attribute all U.S. actions to imperialism and unworthy objectives, not the least of these being Barack Obama.
There are those in Japan and other countries who demand that the United States apologize for the use of the atomic bomb 71 years ago, and that is exactly why former U.S. presidents have refused to visit the site. While Obama did not go so far as to apologize, his presence was a mistake and yet another display of his very poor judgement and understanding of geopolitical symbols and actions. And while there are those who will continue to call for America to apologize to Japan, the Koreans and the Chinese will not be among them.
The atomic bomb that the U.S. used was not just a means of halting atrocities against America, it halted the terrible violence the Japanese had inflicted on countries throughout the Pacific, and particularly on Korea and China. Obama seemed to be completely ignorant of that as well.

Never say Never
He should be tried and convicted for all the lives that have been lost around the world on his watch while he and his scum bag staff are worried if some transgender is being deprived of where he wants to take a leak. What a joke…unfunny as that joke is.
If you don’t remember they bombed us first!
For myself, the term ” we will never repeat that evil again ” is like let an unvetted invader in the Whitehouse again !!!
You’re right…next time we’ll elect a president who loves his country..President Donald Trump.
Don’t say what America will do ? You’re out thank God .. doesn’t sound like you think you are leaving but, you are ..
How could this man not understand that we were attacked and we had no choice but to put a stop to it! What exactly were we supposed to do? Sit still and say, Oh. OK. Attack is again!” SMH!
Go$#%&!@*yourself, Obama, you treasonous$#%&!@* Obama has divided this country more than any president in my lifetime. Obama has set race relations back 50 years. He condoned the rioting, looting and burning down the cities in Ferguson and Baltimore. In fact, he called the Baltimore mayor and had her hold off on calling in the national guard as well as having her ask the cops to stand down. He’s not said a word about BLM, the Black Panthers and Farrakhan openly calling for blacks to rise up and kill whites. I’ve never seen black on white racism this bad in my lifetime. We may still have the most powerful military in the world, but Obama has cut our standing Army down to less than preWW2 days. Budget cuts have cut down flight times and maintenance so much that military officers have come out and said, they don’t think we’d be ready for war. He gave Iran 150 billion to continue to sponsor terrorism and to build nuclear weapons, which they’ll have within 2 years if not sooner. We can’t even inspect their sites. They self-inspect. The Ayatollah and the Iranian people were chanting Death to America. Death to Israel. DURING the negotiations. They have already violated the agreement by testing long range ballistic missiles. We have Russia and China building up their militaries, playing war games together and forming an alliance. China is building military islands in the China Sea. North Korea has nukes and a maniac running the country and have testing their missiles without recourse. What has Obama done about any of these threats? NOTHING. He pulled out of Iraq too soon and without insuring there was a stable government in place. This gave rise to ISIS splitting off from Al Queda. Obama has been funding and arming them to destabilize the region and oust Asaad. If we wanted ISIS gone, they’d be gone in a couple of months. He took out Gadaffi because he was going to introduce a gold-backed currency-the Dinar-that would compete with the petrodollar. Again without establishing a stable government in it’s place. ISIS is now infiltrating Lybia as well as much of the Middle East and North Africa. And, let’s talk about his 5% unemployment. A number that doesn’t reflect all those who’s benefits ran out, stopped looking, are working only part time, are grossly underemployed, or are Welfare of Disability. There are more people now on government assistance than any time in history. And, 51% of the American workforce is making less than 30k per year.
