During a joint meeting with current Vietnam President Truong Tan Sang, President Obama praised hard-core Vietnamese communist revolutionary Ho Chi Minh as “inspired by our founding fathers.”
According to Obama, “Minh adopted key tenets of the program for liberty advocated by America's revolutionary heroes—free public education, progressive income taxes, centralized banking, and the foundation stone of universal equality: from each according to ability, to each according to need.”
President Obama expressed optimism that “the growth of mutual respect and trust between our two countries will enable a greater cooperation on a wide range of issues.”
President Truong offered his “sympathy for the adversities your Government faces with so many internal opponents,” and promised to “share the methods that have made our country more unified. In Vietnam everyone works for the success of the Government. Perhaps you can learn from us as we have from you.”
There are some signs that the Obama Administration may be taking heed of Vietnam's unifying initiatives. In Vietnam, bloggers who insult the government are imprisoned, priests are persecuted, political dissent is suppressed, the media censored, and anti-government “parasites” sentenced to forced labor.
At the University of Central Missouri students belonging to the College Young Republicans were barred from attending a speech given by President Obama—as a “security precaution.”
Shaun Donovan, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, announced a federal program to subsidize minorities who want to move into “white neighborhoods” they can't otherwise afford.
Contradicting a recent Supreme Court decision, Attorney General Eric Holder announced it will block states from carrying out “election reforms that do not conform to the Administration's vision.”

Uncle Ho killed millions of his people which probably makes Barry envious.
It took me a minute, it was that believable.
Vietnam punches above it’s weight
Birds of a feather.
Cornell STILL has Ho Chi Minh Plaza...
As a Vietnam vet myself, I loathe people who admire Uncle Ho. As far as killing millions, the night is still young. That can still happen. The communists in the federal government are simply waiting for the Reichstag fire. Then watch the killings begin. I think there is trouble brewing in the future.
You might want to be careful when referring to others as “dumb” before first checking if the posted comment Obama “made” was a satirical article.
