In the Obama mind, we must have been at fault for provoking Pearl Harbor by putting our war ships in the Pacific Ocean.
What a Maroon!

The Obama Narrative Goes to Hiroshima
By
Claudia Rosett
May 30, 2016
This past Friday, President Obama became the first sitting American
president to visit Hiroshima. There, in that solemn setting, he
delivered a speech so grandiose, so full of sophistries, so stuffed with
America-denigrating baloney, that on those grounds alone it ought to
qualify as historic -- except in essence he's said it all before. I
don't know if White House Boy Wonder Ben Rhodes
wrote this particular riff on the The Narrative. But if he did not, we
may safely assume that Obama has found another speechwriter who is a
perfect replica.
No, Obama did not explicitly apologize for
America's dropping of the atomic bomb. Rather, he worked around to it by
implication, stripping the act of almost all historical context,
lumping together all civilizations and nations, and all wars -- whatever
the reasons -- in one big stew, and urging, as his solution for the
planet (imperfect America included), a "moral revolution" of which he evidently considers himself the prophet.
How
humanity might achieve this moral revolution, Obama did not clarify. (I
doubt that Moscow, Beijing, Tehran or Pyongyang were chastened by
Obama's urging that "we must reimagine our connection to one another as
members of one human race."). Neither did he mention that in the 71
years since America used atomic bombs to end World War II, it has never
used them again, and with America standing as guardian of the free
world, neither has anyone else -- though with Obama's shrinking of the
American military, apology tours for America's past, snubbing of
America's allies and favors to America's enemies, the chances of nuclear
war are again on the rise.
