111,606 Reasons Obama?s Memorial Weekend Hiroshima Visit is a Disgrace

I wish we had leaders today with guts that would fight wars in the same manner as WW2 was fought, take war to the maximum with your enemy. We have never fought to win a war since WW2. We haven't even declared war since WW2

I wish we had leaders in Washington with the guts to have impeached our ?, a long time ago. What a disgrace. He should be laying wreaths at National Soldier's Cemeteries here.

Our President, a national disgrace.

I am not sure. Which of today's skirmishes are you referring to?


There hasn't really been a comparable conflict to the Second World War since the Second World War.

No more Great Evil in the world to do battle with anymore, I guess. Only little bad guys.

Only vaguely. But the principal is the same.


In a sense, but the application of force and mobilization of resources, arguably the biggest factors of conflict besides outcome, tend to be very different.

More like in a John Ford movie, eh?

Some people think Barack Obama has been an effective president and some think he has been an ineffective one. Good arguments for both sides.

Your comments seem to be disjointed...and aimed at venting hatred toward the man.

In my opinion, the president is not a national disgrace...nor is he deserving of impeachment.

I do think some Americans are an embarrassment to America.

You can't reason a person out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.

Mr. Hamm here appears to be consumed by rage rather than reason. Best to let this one slide.

I'm no fan of President Obama's terms in office - in my view, they've been largely a disaster. That said, it's illogical to criticize the President simply for visiting the site of a past war's seminal event. Germany is a strong ally and President Reagan did the world a great favour by visiting the Berlin Wall and speaking to a better, freer future for the East German people and that can be seen as a reason for Germany's return to world status and importance and the break up of the Soviet Union. One could argue that President Obama's visit to Japan to speak against a developing nuclear build up in the east is a perfect thing to do.

So I assume you say the same thing about the two terms served by Bush?
And the one's served by all the other presidents since WW2?

All of them were "a National Disgrace" since none of them "fought a World War 2 type war"?

Is that what you're saying?

So, dig trenches in Afghanistan and wait for the Taliban to show up?
