No Apology but Good Thinking

[OldLady]

There's seldom any upside to waking up at 4:30 a.m., but this morning I turned on the telly to find our President just beginning his remarks at Hiroshima. He didn't apologize for anything. It was a great speech. Thoughtful.

At the bottom of the page is a button for "Listen" to full remarks. 17 minutes. Very much worth listening to.

Obama Makes Historic Visit To Hiroshima Memorial Peace Park

Have a great and peaceful day.

I'm going to pass. Mostly because I can't stand the asshole and secondly I can't stand hangwringing ceremonies, especially when they completely obscure the reasons why it happened and imply the US was the villain. I've heard that in their memorial museum there is no mention of why.

There was no implication that US was the villain. He took a giant step back from all that. It's not as offensive as you are imagining. But I would find it hard to sit through a Hillary speech, so I hear ya.

Kids listen to their parents, as you know.

What a stupid comment. Laughing at what? And calling one of our most important allies "japs." Disgusting.

Indeed, the other day Obama was on the tube and our youngest informed me Ears was on TV.

It is sorta implied when the US is the one that dropped the bombs in the first place. It's not like anyone would expect a 'you had it coming' line in a speech.

You guys are bumming me out. Must be from waking up so early.

Weasel, I refuse to discuss it any further with you since you have refused to listen to it.

Wow you took a moment from spewing hatred on this site to listen to one of your children? I'm proud of you. Baby steps.

When my son was born the first words out of my mother-in-law's mouth were "Thank God he didn't get his father's ears!"

...and what would it do for me? I'm not a liberal, I won't be swept up in a sea of emotion over a meaningless ceremony.

We can only hope your kids have a lick of sense and don't listen to yours.

Japanese people take offense at being called "Japs" about as much a Canadians take offense at being called "Canucks.

Only thin skinned idiots take offense at words.|
