President Obama Visits Vietnam – Poses For Picture With Ho Chi Minh Statue…
CT ^ | 5/23/2016 | Sundance

President Obama is visiting Vietnam today and paused for a picture with communist party President Tran Dai Quang in front of a bust of Ho Chi Minh.

Perhaps it’s just me, but given the nature of the diplomatic relationship this specific optic seems rather inappropriate.

I wonder what lib Vietnam vets think of this?

Every lib and communist in the world will immediately recognize the body language of a winner and a loser.

They will rightly view this as a surrender/victory photo. They will take it as confirmation of Ho Chi Minh's struggle, as in "you were right and we were wrong". It very well may be described as such in future elementary history books.

What is particularly disturbing is the encouragement it provides to anti-America "Americans".

Everything about Obama is inappropriate.

58,220 American Soldiers killed
150,000 wounded
21,000 permanently disabled
Average age - 23.11 years old
1,622 still missing

And the President of the USA stands in front of a statue of their killer Ho Chi Minh for a photo op.

Where is the outrage?

All in the name of “free trade.”

It is clear, if Il Douchebag ever cared about how ‘optics’ offended, he doesn’t care now.

I know a few of those....

One of the dead might have become a member of the family by marriage, too.

Length of time for a 2Lt to live in 1968 after being dropped in: 15 minutes.

The last traitor to veterans we had as president, Carter, granted the Canadian draft dodgers amnesty during his term. Our brother was a draftee medic, KIA in 1968. When our dad heard the news that Carter granted amnesty to those cowards, he flew into such a rage I thought we were all doomed. This was a man who had a temper to begin with and I’d never seem him that angry before. He NEVER thought ANY president would ever do such a thing. Our mom couldn’t even talk him down. Between burying his 20 y/o son and Carter granting amnesty he was never the same. I’m grateful that he didn’t live to see this Obamination we have for a _resident now.

We learned just last year about the young man I mentioned earlier was KIA after 3 months. Friendly fire. Just a kid.

Obama announced today that Vietnam is buying 100 Boeing 737 MAX airliners to be delivered over the next 4 years.
