BALI, Indonesia (AP) — Detecting "flickers of progress" in the long-shunned nation of Myanmar, President Barack Obama announced Friday that he will send Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to the repressed country next month, the first official in her position to visit in more than 50 years.

"We want to seize what could be an historic opportunity for progress and make it clear that if Burma continues to travel down the road of democratic reform, it can forge a new relationship with the United States of America," Obama said Friday during his diplomatic mission to southeast Asia.

Sending Obama to (ex) Burma? Isn’t that like pumping gasoline on a fire?

if Burma continues to travel down the road of democratic reform...

What democratic reform is being referenced, Thein Sein? There is no reform in Burma.

The country has been owned by the Chinese communists for decades. The Obama administration's only possible interest in Burma is to understand how effectively the regime crushes its people and devours the wealth.

Or he just wants to send Hilary Clinton to a hellhole at a time near the holidays.

This administrations pettiness has no end, and at this point, no limit, its spitefulness extends to everyone, both foe and friend, enemy and ally.

China. At some point, this has something to do with our debt-holding, power-wielding ‘friends’ the Chicoms.

Maybe they will keep her. . . . .
I can dream can't I?

“...he will send Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to the repressed country next month...”

Do you know how hard it is to get a visa for Myanmar? Even if she manages to get one, will her entourage get them? Good luck with that.

My dad was in Burma during WW II.
It was stone age primitive then. Still is.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Perhaps he feel she needs a Burma Shave.

Another case of liberals foolishly believing in tyrants. Their retarded view of the world forces them into such idiotic actions.

The dictators of the world today must be laughing their collective asses off at the idiocy of this regime. Not since Carter has there been such a weakling in the Oval Office.
