We would be speaking Japanese right now.

We’d all be goosestepping around in the latest offerings from Hugo Boss.

Clearly he wouldn’t engage in the firebombing of Dresden or nuclear use in Hiroshima. The US could never have won a war with the leadership of President Pipsqueak. But our enemies would have loved him.

ironic obama gives this speech one day before Pearl Harbor remembrance day.

Obama on the Japanese surrendering- "I'm always worried about using the word 'victory,' because, you know, it invokes this notion of Emperor Hirohito coming down and signing a surrender to MacArthur," Obama told ABC News.

If he’d been leader during the Revolution there would be the largest homosexual bathhouse in the British Empire at Valley Forge today.

“I will stand with the Japs should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

“I support a full bombing campaign against Germany and Japan ... as long as there are absolutely no civilian casualties.”

“And we must be careful not to demonize or discriminate against the German or Japanese people.”

"We strongly condemn the actions of the Japanese military."

"Make no mistake, we will not rest until the perpetrators of this attack are brought to justice in our courts and face civil charges for their crimes."

"Now having said that, let's not, as Americans, get on our high horse. The Japanese Empire clearly has a grievance with the United States and we should be tolerant of their views. I have dispatched a telegram to Emperor Hirohito in the hopes that we can open a dialog and resolve these issues."

"To the families of those that were lost today, Michelle and I send our thoughts and best wishes. We ask that while you are going through this difficult journey in the healing process that you remember who we are as Americans and not retaliate against our Japanese friends and neighbors, many of whom are here just to have a better life."

"The blackout will be lifted briefly tonight as we hold a candle light vigil on the South Lawn of the White House, followed by a moment of silence. We hope that this will bring healing and closure to our grieving citizens."

"Good night and God bless America."

You had a pretty worthless President in those days. The difference is, Roosevelt didn’t hate the United States like the Devil hates holy water.

[Still Thinking]

FDR was practically Satan himself, yet still somehow managed to be nowhere near as bad as Ebola.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Thank God we didn’t allow America-hating foreigners to become President in those days.
