Obama Stumbles Again (video of Barry speaking sans teleprompter alert)

Barack Obama: you can dress him up, but you can't take him out. Every time he goes abroad, he embarrasses himself and sells out his country.

In Japan today, Obama gave a press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Hatoyama. He was asked this question, for which he was unaccountably unprepared:

"And to President Obama, you are a proponent of a nuclear-free world, and you've stated, first of all, you would like to visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki while in office. Do you have this desire? And what is your understanding of the historical meaning of the A-bombing in Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Do you think that it was the right decision?"

To understand how stumbling and ill-prepared Obama's response was, you really have to watch the video. In the end, the reporter repeats the question, did the U.S. do the right thing in bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki? And Obama refuses to answer:

Here's the key part of the transcript:

"... Now, obviously Japan has unique perspective on the issue of nuclear weapons as a consequence of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And that I'm sure helps to motivate the Prime Minister's deep interest in this issue. I certainly would be honored, it would be meaningful for me to visit those two cities in the future. I don't have immediate travel plans, but it's something that would be meaningful to me."

He refuses to answer. He refuses to make decisions. He refuses to do the right thing. He is a horrible POS.

The dimrats voted him in, along with the rinos and other assorted idiots, because they were convinced by the liberal news media that Obummer, the Marxist now posing as a Fascist, was more knowledgeable about these things than Sarah Palin

What a joke.

Not teleprompters. They’re mirrors.

***********

They are marching along to serfdom/sodom, and don’t want right-thinking people to stand in the way of their self-destruction.

Ok so let me get this straight Lamestream media, Obama is the most qualified guy on the planet and Sarah Palin is unqualified. How is that even possible. Obama proves time and time again that HE is just an idiot. No wonder he won’t release his school transcripts. Probably full of C’s and D’s

And now the Asian people learn what the euros and arabs and Israelis have found to their deep disappointment--The self appointed "first Pacific president" is a dullwitted asshole.

Soon even the dazed idiot children of America will figure it out as well.

He’s sweating bullets because he knows if he faces the question of historical accountability head-on, the PRC might ask him what he thinks about what happened at NANKING..!!!

Hey, when you owe your sorry *ss not just to BankA but also BankB, then you have REAL PROBLEMS...!!!

“Barack Obama: you can dress him up, but you can’t take him out. Every time he goes abroad, he embarrasses himself and sells out his country.”

Enough of the Peter principle. This man needs early retirement. Just resign, play golf, write a memoir, collect the beni’s. Please.

Once he get's his health care bill passed he can send them all off for a visit with the death panel.

Won't have to worry about them anymore (of course ACORN will make sure he still has their votes).

Don't pi$$ off the Americans.

Do you think that it was the right decision?
When you ask that of anyone who suffered under Japanese occupation, they ask in return, "Why did you drop only two?"
