From the article:
TO BOW OR NOT TO BOW
Obama knows from past experience that every gesture counts when he's on the world stage.
He took a hit early in his presidency when his deep bow before Japanese Emperor Akihito was criticized by U.S. conservatives who saw him as groveling.
I will be MORE surprised if 0bama DOESN'T apologize and grovel.

The mere fact that he is going to the memorial is extremely bad optics.

Obama is going to visit Hiroshima on our USA Memorial Day. He will apologize, we are sure.
But has he ever visited Pearl Harbor (as president), the Vietnam Memorial in DC, the graves in France? No, he hasn’t. Why? He hates America first.

Any “optics” with him as the subject is always bad optics with the sole exception of him leaving the dais on Jan 20 2017 hopefully with a foot strategically placed.

My dad was in the occupation forces for a time and I'm sure he would be displeased that we're begging for forgiveness for an act which he was certain saved countless lives on BOTH sides.
But we've seen Obama's approach to "combating" ISIS: bomb selectively and let a war drag on forever and forever with no victories or progress to speak of. One would almost think his heart isn't in it. Given that I'm sure he does think that actually ending the war decisively was a bad idea.

that was a war to decide the fate of the WORLD.
Not the Falkland Islands. A nuke in that situation might have been extreme :)

He’s going there to punch us in the face again.
He loves doing it. He regards those bombs as a mistake.
So he goes there.
Oh, and to take a selfie.

“”The key thing is to restore dignity,” said Jeff Kingston, a history professor at Temple University Japan. “He realizes this is the unfinished business of reconciliation, that there is a long road from foe to friend.”
Another weird academic.(Probably also for financial reparations to blacks)
Every time a Japanese auto or electronic product was purchased shows that we are friends.

Liberals live in a world free of facts and historical perspective. They maintain that Japan was on the verge of surrender and we didn't need to bomb them. This is in spite of the fact that we fought an immensely bloody island hopping campaign against them where they simply didn't surrender. Further, we dropped an atomic bomb on them and they STILL didn't surrender. We had to drop a second one before they got the point.
But hey, the left says Japan was ready to make nice so we were the bad guys. Whatever.

Obama is going to visit Hiroshima on our USA Memorial Day.Gosh, that must have been the only date available on his busy Asian schedule.
Yet another slam in the face of America's veterans, especially those remaining of the Greatest Generation.
