NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/15/2009 4:55:55 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

On Friday, this NewsBuster [FReeper governsleastgovernsbest] noted how Pres. Obama, questioned at a news conference in Japan, twice refused to say whether he thought the United States' dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was "the right decision."

Yesterday on Fox News Watch, Jim Pinkerton noted the NewsBusters nugget. The Fox News contributor and New America Foundation fellow observed that PBO's failure had huge implications for America's nuclear deterrent.

Congrats. Keep up the good reporting that the State Run Media won’t touch.

The Japanese leadership was a very stubborn case. One bomb didn’t convince them.

there are only 24 Real Quarterbacks on Sundays!

The first part of your comments were spot on but the last remark left me wondering who you think is running the offense on the other 8? Nevermind the backups.

Honestly I’m surprised he didn’t go over there to apologize. This is a first.

Alinsky Rules for Radicals

Rule 10:

The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative. Avoid being trapped by an opponent or an interviewer who says, “Okay, what would you do?”

If he wanted to be diplomatic (he was in Japan, after all), he could have said:

“It brought about the surrender of Japan with the least loss to BOTH sides. In addition to hundred of thousands of US casualties, millions of Japanese would have died in the invasion that was sure to follow the tyrant Tojo's refusal to surrender.”

Many thanks for your kind comments. Hopefully the NewsBusters item helped get the word out on Obama’s pusillanimous performance!

Oh! I forgot to explain fully my count of 24...:-) One of the other eight I left out was intentional. I didn’t count McNABB in the Real Category, so I was only seven short. RUSH was 1000% Correct several years ago regarding McNABB. Everytime he screws up on the field, he thinks it is a Big Laugh and he has always been more interested in selling CAMPBELL SOUPS, than he has been actually playing the game....:-(

Sorry Dude. It was a light hearted jab to an otherwise excellent post at an obvious Eagles fan. JUST KIDDING!

I know Truman was, I think he was asked how he slept at night and he said that he slept like a baby. I’m sure there was much more but that was the most memorable for me.

WTG, Mark. Keep holding his feet to the fire, though it seems he has asbestos soles.

He has MSM soles, which are much more insulating than asbestos.

Way ta Go!

The more that FReepers get credit for breaking a solid News story and besting the LameStreamMedia the better.
