- Barack Obama became the first sitting U.S. president to visit the site of the Hiroshima atomic bombing on Friday.
Some 140,000 people were killed when the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on the city on Aug. 6, 1945.
Obama called for a world without nuclear weapons after visiting Hiroshima Peace Park Memorial, where he spent a short time in the site's museum and then solemnly placed a wreath at the arched monument.
we must build a world without nuclear weapons,to avoid this kind of catastrophe!
Love your thought!
you totally misunderstand. it was a wonderful thing.
So the US get rid of all its nuclear warheads, but how are we sure that China or Russia will. They have a vast area to hide any nuclear warhead so they can launch one nuclear attack and destroy the USA. It's impossible to send enough inspectors to Russia and China to cover its vast land.
Dropping those bombs was the moral choice. Otherwise 100 of 1000s of American and Japanese lives would have been lost. That said, nukes are here to stay, and this man insured that Iran, a country that does not abide by MAD - mutually assured destruction - will attain nukes in the next decade. O bummer? Yep.
JIMMY O'CONNELL Why would Iran abide? Under MAD, the Muslims and mullahs want to go to Heaven and see the 72 virgins. LOL
I miss this great man already! God help our country!
There are two ways of thinking about Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 1) They were war crimes of unspeakable inhumanity. 2) They were a necessary evil. To my mind both ways of thinking are correct.
Yep. A very complex moment in our world's history.
At least there's one sane person here. Terrible what happened, but to me, it had to be done. Literally millions more would have died if US had to invade the mainland. Plus, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan on the 8th of August, so add that into the mix. Had to be done.
+mjbuchika I've just ordered his book on Amazon.
The reasons for dropping the bomb had nothing to do with the war, America had to make their mark on the next generation warfare, it was a demonstration of military supremacy.
either case no side was really the "good" side. its only evil vs evil or you could also say good vs good.
Thank you President Obama to have his courage to visit Hiroshima to face the pain and the past. We will never forget the history and memory of the lost saul. I hope we all learnt big lesson in our life from this horrible history, and we must build brighter and peaceful future together for our future generation.
+Santo Marakai
The as a new generation of Americans speak up, they say that the events at Hiroshima and Nagasaki were mistakes that we must learn from.
I hope the people who try to justify this tragic event suck up their pride and realize that moral principles and human brotherhood are stronger than political games.
May peace be upon those who suffered...
+Ken H
Unfortunately, president Obama's conscious was overwhelmed by the political game back in the States.
Deep down inside, as a person, I'm sure he would apologize
Continuing to face the pain of the past is important, but we cannot reasonably start or end that conversation by saying that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were mistakes. They ended much worse. The death toll from WWII exceeds 60 million, but there were far greater tragedies than the bombing of those cities, including (perhaps especially including given the brutality involved, the rape of Nanjing and the systematic exterminations in Europe. The best we can hope to do, Santo, is try to prevent to kinds of horrors that occurred in Wold War II.from happening again. In that we have not been wholly successful, as the killing fields of Cambodia attest. But we can try.
To be human is to be at risk of being needlessly killed or needlessly killing. We can do more about the latter than the former, and I think Obama did a good job of expressing that.
+Davis Foulger
Of course it wasn't just the Cites of Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
Since the invasion of Poland, horrors and atrocities were committed; on both sides.
It's important that we avoid any event of total war as we've seen before and how far we've taken it. Hopefully things like the bombing of Hiroshima serve as a reminder that war sucks, a lot...
Yeah. Sure did take a lot of courage to fly Air Force One to Asia then give a speech he didn't even write. How courageous was Obama.
A speech of history for the next generation. Obama is a Leader!
What about the pearl harbor attack by Japan?
2400 people died at Pearl Harbour. The bombs killed over 250.000 people. I'm sure you can spot the difference.
Japan has to think again what she did. But it should not be mixed with nuclear issues.
If America didn't drop atomic bomb, we lost many our soldiers more than 250,000. This is undeniable hypothesis.
America could show the impact by experiment in somewhere else and could keep the superiority over the Soviet.
Thank god for the United States of America and for a compassionate intellect that our president possesses.
Shakti, you mean being an apologetic wuss. Yep that is Obama!
+Tim Thomas your eloquence completely validates your opinion of which I'm sure is founded on concrete fact. I am sure you watched this speech in its entirety made an unbiased and educated rebuttal.
Dan as a vet and as a person that was taught history the way generations before were taught; yes I believe I made a totally unbiased opinion. As for watching all of it, honestly NO. It was a very boring and lethargic pile of crap in my opinion. I do not see how Obama is such a wonderful orator; but hey that is what is great about America. People can fawn over people like Obama and his socialist ways and people like me that see him and others for who they are can express our opinions. In the end there are millions of American men and some women lying under white crosses dotting the landscape both here and abroad and others at rest in the sea and oceans that while fighting for both our sakes, leaned heavily on mine and others side.Finally you libs never listen to facts. You could be put into a time machine, see first hand why America did what it did in Hiroshima; and still dispute it!
Spot on sir! Some of these morons think that War is something you fight at a video game consolel while sitting on your duff in front of the tv! Their heroes are people like Katlyn Jenner! This Japanese leader did sort of give condolensces for the lives that were lost on both sides when he visited America a year ago; but it has taken Japan 70 years to do so. As far as I am concerned they got what they deserved on that day over the skies of Hiroshima-Nagasaki!
Update I finished watching it and my opinion that it was anything but just apologetic still stands.They may have triumphed in the end anyway. Look at how Japan has advanced technologically and economically over the United States maybe that has been their Karma over us! Just sayin.
How people can dislike that speech? Guys!!! Obama can not fulfill everyone wishes. It was a balanced speech, well constructed, politically correct and with a lot of references and hidden excuses...
It was a brilliant speech.
wellhellothere58 yeah yeah whatever you say...
President Obama talks about the lesson of Hiroshima and how that lesson can be fully learned.
There was some ambiguity -- because it wasn't immediately apparent what the President was aiming at. As it continued, it is a common theme that the President has touched on before...the evolution of our "moral imagination"...can we progress? "Yes, we can." -- is the President's view and that Hiroshima and its victims who chose to reach out to Americans, proves growth and healing are possible.
*****, the problem with your point is that no American President has chosen to take this historic step, which incidentally means none of the prior Caucasian men who have been President of the United States have either thought of this particular visit or would have even considered it.
I am not a fan of President Obama's views and policies, but I choose to give him his due on this speech, even if I don't entirely appreciate his view of the world.
***** No, on that point we have some agreement. My analysis of President Obama would also come to the same view that he would have apologized, if he didn't have the constraints of the American public's view or additional political pressures that may come from his own calculation.
The rhetoric of the speech was neutral and detached in tone and wording. I guess, if one isn't apologizing at a site that is the point of instantaneous and massive blood shed, there really isn't a way to script your words than in some detached, "neutral" manner. That is no defense from me, just my observation.
*****, my basic point, which you seem to have identified as well, "a step forward at least."
I can share your sentiment, because that was my point as well.
:) Same, to you as well.
eloquent, everyones acting like this is the time reagan laid wreath at the nazi monument. couldnt be more differnt
poetry in motion..mean'
A president that instills hope where it is needed
Such an inspiring speech by both leaders. Words do matter.
We can feel president Obama's respect towards different culture and hope for the world peace. The leader needs to be aware of how serious it is to be a president of the Untied States and the responsibility. That is why I do not think Donald Trump does not deserve to become a president. It is not an entertainment.
they don't get it.
If we want to leave a land for our children we must put down our weapons and join together as one human family. These weapons should never be used again. As long as there is hatred we as a world will never grow. Peace and Love!
You can never have peace and love until fanatics are put down; plain and simple. If it weren't weapons as we know them, people would kill with other things in order to acheive a goal.
there's nothing you can say, those people were murdered, but at least after all this time finally a president does something, he's the greatest speaker, I just wish they would unclassify the technology we need to continue growing, (free energy, etc), sadly the end has already been prophesied (foretold) by the son of man , our only hope is to put our Faith in him and do the best we can until his arrival, now is the time to turn your life around, be sorry for anything bad we have done and give back to our community, to the poor etc. , May the creator of everything have mercy
There is something to say about this. Its japan provoked america and got FUCKED for it. They attacked us on "a warm clear cloudless day"

Don't even try anymore
+Luke Altorfer
Yeah and it was over 70 years ago,
Move on
Amazing speech!
Wow ... powerful speech Mr President! God bless all the innocent lives lost
We Americans are so sorry. So sorry.
Henry Audey why would u apologize?
did u know that Dai Nippon enslaved & killed millions of Asians & Pacific Islanders before the bombing? They even mutilated, burn, & did other shitty experiment against Chinese civillians in a military lab. They even tried to invade Western Parts of North America by sending deadly balloons to attack North Americans, a group of American Sunday School kids died as a result. No wonder many Asians don't feel bad for the bombing, including my country.
Cool. Now let's see the present day emperor of Japan go to pearl Harbor and place a wreath for the 1,500+ sailors who died there while sleeping on a sunday morning. If Japan is truly our allies like Obama says; it should happen. The deaths of the American sailors were horrible. Being trapped in a capsized ship, drowning...unable to breathe. Many were shot the hell up or burned alive. Hiroshima was mercy killing.
right? what the hell is this? so the American people who died don't deserve an apology? presidential fail.
OMG ... So he can't pay tribute to Japan ? He mentioned all the innocent people who died without being specific about war... No matter what Obama does you guy's are gonna hate on him...
funkyflights The fact is Obama went to Japan; placing a wreath. That said it all. Japan owes us same for an unprovoked sneak attack.
Its a tacky move. The axis powers tried to conquer the world. I'm not mad at modern day Japan but I certainly don't think America has anything to atone for. The fact that Obama does this days before Memorial day in America is a slap to U.S. veterans and an insult to those that died fighting imperial Japan. It sucks when that many innocent people die but it ended the war and the world is a better place because of it. If the japanese need an apology, they should get it from their own government, the one that brought this down on them.
***** Oh yes; the Japanese were very crafty too at use of technology. They were the one's that made torpedoes that can be dropped from a plane and skim along shallow waters. Normal torpedoes cannot. Japan was trying to dominate the world by war. Now, they have switched that dominance from violent acts to economic dominance. My best buddy is Japanese by the way. His name is Larry.
This is how a President should behave and articulate. Trump is not in the same league as a man, statesman or human being. Glad I live somewhere else.
He did not speak the truth. America targeted civilians intentionally and killed 200K people in Hiroshima. USA still continue Wars in the world, possessing tens of thousands of nukes. He should make a speech based on this fact.
He never mentioned NOT targeting civilians. It's called total war. The concept of "there are no innocents in war" was also quite effectively utilized on the part of Imperial Japan during the war (Korea, Manchuria, Indo-China just to name a few) where entire populations were enslaved, brutalized or slaughtered. But that was then, this is now. Pray we never have another war like that one, or another war period. The US has indeed been either at the leading edge or the key participant in too many wars since. A few justified at the time, but just a few. I firmly believe the only justifiable war is one in which the undertaking is to protect the defenseless. those sadly, we tend to stay out of. The US is not the only country where this is true. We are all human, and stupid in that way.
Again I back up Jeff. Mr. Kondo, like most Japanese you are holey uneducated about WWII or let's say the recipient of controlled knowledge. Imperial Japan was the most brutal government and country the world has ever seen making the Nazis look like an also ran. You murdered 20 million Chinese from 1937 through 1945 (men women and children). It was systematic and sadistic. You used biological and chemical weapons against major Chinese cities. You tortured millions in the Asian rim. We all know about Unit 731 in the West. You experimented on POW's In one case; United States of America versus Kajuro Aibara et al (Case Docket 290) doctors teaching at Kyushu Imperial University and Kaikosha Hospital took the crew of one American B-29 and experimented on them while they were alive on the table (salt water substitute for blood was the primary experiment). Then when they were done they killed them slowly in different ways to see how they would die and in one case ate the liver. This liver eating had also happened with American POW's on Chichi-Jima. American prisoners were systematically tortured and killed and in one case herded into a bomb shelter and burned alive using gasoline. During the death march one American remembers a Japanese soldier bayoneting a woman giving water to an American and not only this, he gutted her (she was pregnant) and put the baby on the end of his bayonet and danced about. For sport Japanese soldiers would take non-Japanese babies and swing them by their feet and smash their heads into stone walls. There are even photos of this x'd out by the Japanese censors at the time as it was considered good sport. It was known that the Japanese government were going to have all POW's killed on August 22. Thank God for the bomb. If we had invaded Japan they figure that there would have been 10,000,000 casualties and mostly civilian as they were going to fight to the death for the emperor who was a war criminal and got away with it. The world has never before seen such brutality as that which came from the Japanese from 1937-1945 and we all hid it as the Russians became the new problem and then the Korean War. I suggest you get your facts straight. I still consider you potentially the most brutal society on earth.You are a horrible people who say they are saving face by hiding their war atrocities. In the West this is looked at as losing face. One of my family members jumped off the Golden Gate in 1946 because he had been so badly beaten in a Jap camp that he found he couldn't deal with it physically or emotionally. You people are the stuff that nightmares are made of. Unfortunately the rest of the free world, including Japan whose economy we rebuilt with American tax dollars after the war, relies on us to protect them. They get away without any cost to themselves in treasure or blood. Maybe we should let China have you, it would solve many problems. FIDO.
reading from a script is not from the heart.
Presidents cannot afford off-the-cuff speeches in delicate situations like this.
when you read a book or poem you think the author didn't speak from the heart? Just because it's written and read makes it no less meaningful.
imagine Trump doing this
All the Ameriacns! All the people in the world! Please understand the meaning of what Japanese citizens have been speaking to you since then; not "bring back Hiroshima," but "no more Hiroshima."
The 442nd are rolling around in there graves.
+bravo
I hope the ghosts of the crew of the 'ENOLA GAY' will scare jihad barry out of the WH.
It's funny that we tell other countries not to use nukes, yet we used them; TWICE!
Good speech
Yea if you like listening to a black Michael Dukakis! Obama is not any kind of orator when he doesn't have a teleprompter!
Great decision any ways. Many people would be more conscious of the tragedy by his visit.
Message to Mr. Putin. There is sobriety that can shared,a beckon that can snatched.
Where's Obama's speech at Pearl Harbor?
You're confused
Why would he support our vets? Hes too bust apologizing for an act required to stop the evil of Japanese empire in World War Two
Amen to that.
Oh Hell no I'm not.
You should watch Oliver Stone's Untold History of the United States. It was not that simple.
Well Akihito, I think it's time you come to America now and visit pearl harbor! Oh also how about you check Nanjing? You know, since we are all friends now aren't we? So now that we have visited the sight that finally ended your rapes and massacres, I think it's time you visit the places you commited rapes and/or massacres. Allies my ass. Don't get me wrong here, I love Japan. In fact I'm going to go on exchange to Japan, but Obama made a very bad move apologizing for us ending the war Japan started. I for one am not sorry for it, and neither should any other American. Yes, I feel sympathy for the inhumanity, the death's of innocents and all but that's why we vowed to never use those weapons again, it should have been left at that. Maybe if they had shown some humanity instead of murdering sleeping soldiers, raping and murdering in Nanjing, then would we have shown humanity to them. All the poeple saying how cool and amazing Obama is for doing this, you are forgetting the history behind why we did it.
The thing you gotta realize, is that the people in Hiroshima had nothing to do with pearl harbor. They were civilians who weren't involved in the conflict, but 100,000 of them were still vaporized because of it. Keep that in mind.
Landon Fowler I understand that, but the thing Japan needs to keep in mind is how horribly brutal and awful they where, they where like nothing we had ever seen before, they would rather send out kamikazes than have troops return home. They raped and murdered and where on conquered. They also have to keep in mind we where sick and tired of war. I'm truly empathetic to the innocent lives that where lost, but I would rather the same outcome as the atomic bomb, than a different path which leads to Japan continuing their rampage.
I don't think we have any reason to be sorry after how they attacked sleeping soldiers. I understand those people didn't directly do it in Hiroshima but they still deserve only empathy, not an apology.
一山田 I'm not saying we should bash them for their war crimes, I know we also share many wrongs. My point, however, is that we should not be apologizing for ending their rain of terror. It's fine for us to apologize to those who deserve it but we had no reason to apologize here. The only thing we should feel is sympathy but not regret, and we aren't even obligated to feel that, although we should.
一山田 Um yes I'm qualified to bash any nation for any war crimes. Are you saying that Syria gassing it's own civilians isn't bad because the US killed Indians 200 Years ago? No? Then why the fuck did you write that comment.
No nukes, just drones and special ops. What a hypocrite. Although still a pretty good president overall.
close but no cigar, buddy
+greg cryns i mean hes not wrong
All politicians are hypocritical arrogant dicks.
Yea, he is a real man of the people. You didn't see Martin Luther King constantly go on vacation or apology tours at the taxpayers expense!!!
+Tim Thomas he has taken far fewer vacations than his predecessors. Which, by the way, are not paid for by our taxes.
Before I watch thisi really hope he didn't apologize. We are not and will not be sorry for ending a war they started. We ended the war the most efficient way and the way that would cost the least amount of lives. I'm sorry for THEIR actions for starting a war with us but not for us ending a horrific war. And if you want to talk about horrific shit look up what the Japanese did to china.
Well, he didn't. He was really just saying it's tragic that it had to end that way (but it HAD to end that way, we had no choice.) and he doesn't want to see a war end that way again.
The world has the technology to strike at the militaries instead of the citizens.
The invention and usage of nuclear weapon accelerated the fall of imperial Japan, saved hundreds of millions Asian people from unspeakable atrocities committed by imperial Japan military, avoided millions of Japanese civilian death if invasion of Japan were conducted. More than that, it has successfully prevented any major conventional war among world powers for more than 70 years.
You could hear those photographers taking like a million pictures of the same shot.
I fucking love Obama.
If U.S. can justify the use of nuclear weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, other nations can justify future uses of nuclear weapons by the same logic: "No surprise attack, no A-bombs", "Necessary to avoid massive casualties expected for invasion", "Necessary to stop the war", or whatever. Those who justify the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are telling other nations or terrorists "You can do it, too!".
Yeah, that doesn't sound like an apology. Scripted or not. Hypocrite or not. All he said was that all human beings should give up nuclear weapons and he's right. Nobody disagrees that our attack on Japan was justified. If you want to be mad at anyone, be mad at the government officials who knew that Japan was going to attack pearl harbor way ahead of time and didn't warn anyone.
+Christopher Heriford when you give condolences it is "sorry for your loss " not sorry that we did it.
***** You and everyone else are reaching. Your bias makes you believe what isn't there. You want to believe he apologized because you just want more confirmation that your hatred of either Obama, the Japanese, or both is justified. You have a nationalist attitude that only our own US citizens matter and you cannot recognize that the Japanese are our allies. Even Obama realizes that the Japanese would not have become our allies if we had not dropped the bombs on them. So why would he apologize for it? He didn't.
Nobody would hope such a terrible tragedy will be repeated again in the future. To realize the hope, we all have to give our ears to his strong message zealously, althogh I'm not sure if I can express my feeling appropriately due to my terrible poor English ability.
Will Japan ever hear an apology for the unnecessary murder of innocent Japanese lives?
......so...where are the ceremonies where they visit Pearl Harbor and apologize? WTF
My dad is in the US military, and my mother is from hiroshima. I think it would be amazing to see prime minister Abe visit pearl harbour. However I want no apology from Obama. I believe people in Hawaii feel the same way. I don't want pity, I just want people to respect what happened.
What a beautiful combination my friend...my eldest brother served in the navy, if this were just a few decades back he would have died in the initial attack. Apologies do not change what happened, but, if our president is going to traverse halfway around the globe to apologize on behalf of our nation, and speak on the atrocities of mankind, there should be similar or the same sentiment from both sides. This is like a person apologizing for knocking the person out who punched his mother in the face.
President Obama did not visit Hiroshima to apologize, but to make sure that Japan and the US continue to make effort together not to repeat the tragedy. Hiroshima and Pearl Harbor, they are both the victim or the war and it is a collective responsibility between Japan and the US. I don't know how much you understand the world politic, but apologizing is not just a leader saying sorry to another, it's a lot more than that. Should Japanese leader visit Pearl Harbor? Yes, he does, but why can we think that Obama visiting Hiroshima is a huge collective progress for the world as a whole. Why does it always have to be fight and argument. Emotion driven behavior like this is exactly the cause of war.
UWJLC I understand world politics very well. The speech was very much so an apology. Yes, as a whole, collective respect globally is key to avoid the loss of lives anywhere between anyone, but, would you agree, that it would be nice to have someone come to your country and shed light on the lives lost? How many mothers were widowed after pearl harbor? Children without fathers? If both are not willing to equally verbalize loss, then leave words out of it and lead by action. Emotionally driven? No. Somebody comes over and destroys your naval base, there's no time for emotions only reaction. Response, yet, nobody came there to acknowledge or honor the fallen. Somehow we go over there to apologize.
I think it would be great to see Abe in Hawaii.
Recently where I live a Japanese women was mudered by an ex-marine, its causeing coas. So maybe Abe will have to wait awhile until that dies down. Its crazy, military restrictions and protestors.
never voted for the guy and disagree with his political beliefs but this was a great speech
66 Years Later: Hiroshima and Detroit
I worked in Japan for five years for Boeing when ANA All Nippon Airways took delivery of their first 787 and the got battery problems. I got to during this years an understanding how they think about the war. They are aware of the crimes the soldiers did during the war very much but what can the people of Japan do about it now???. As my best friend said, it´s best to learn from our mistakes and make sure we never do it again. He´s grand father serves in the Navy during ww2 but died this year.

So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding.
Why do all the foreign language interpreters that are speaking English have such a broken accent? Now I'm Asian and I grew up bilingual and know plenty of Asians that speak perfect English with no accents at all. Unless they are only hiring the ones that are not born and raised here in the U.S. even then, I know way more immigrants that speak better English than the crap I hear all the time being translated. Like seriously it's getting kinda insulting.
You do have a couple of incorrect sentences I just found, please be humble and respect others. It is not impossible.
+jong hong You're missing the point... it feels like they are purposefully choosing people with lower competencies like it's a Charlie Chan movie with steriotypes.
Suggest we listen before we comment.
how, exactly, do you rid the world of nukes or is that just another talking point that sounds good to a naive voting base?
Abe firstly should visit Pearl Harbor, Nanjing, and many other places in Asia to "apologize" Japan's wrong behavior in the past. Japanese should remember that they are not victim but assailant
American brothers please choose a liberal Hillary rather than a fanatic Trump so that world can further pursue peace.
Hillary will definitely not pursue peace dude. As secratary of state there are more drone attacks all over the world, along with SO teams performing combat operations in more the 150 countries. She has been caught lying multiple times. I'm pretty liberal and will not be voting for Hillary
so who will you be voting for. I don't like Hillary either, but if there is a choice between her and Trump I can't risk him getting in.
AMP sometimes you just have to vote and hope for the best. Not voting at all is just like giving a vote to the other side. Trust me Hillary is a bad choice she will only further bring this country to it's knees.Trump at least has built things and knows how to manage things. Has he always done right? A person would be naieve to think so; but I have to believe he has a plan.
+pie
open up your mouth, cause heres a dose of reality .
The ONLY way there will be peace on earth is when there are NO MORE greedy, evil, crazy, wicked, mean & nasty humans. And that is why we need weapons ( all kinds, for all uses ) to defend ourselves, weather its on your street or half way cross the globe.
There now. Hows that taste ?
Electing Clinton will ensure this country gets what it deserves.
More opression !
"An oppressive government, is to be more feared, than a roaming tiger" - Confucius
Why pick this time for this speech at this location. Why not 6 years ago, 4 years ago a year ago from another hstoric location. Is this more about developing a persons legacy with little time left while residing at Pennsylvania Ave. Truman, Congress and the American people wanted to end the war and save hundreds of thousands of American soldiers lives from invasion of Japan by utilizing a new technology. It is easy to make judgments now without living during that time to witness the constant brutality of WW II from the Axis powers.
People keep saying that he didn't apologize, one of which went into a whole long explanation about how Obama didn't apologize only to actually explain how Obama did apologize via his condemnation of the use of nuclear weapons by the United States.
Lol, liberals are so funny. They defeat their own arguments.
So, now I'm going to watch the speech and see for myself.
Idealistic and naive. Good on him though for never losing his childhood.
He could have brought to light, or reminded the Japanese of Pearl Harbor. There was a reason we incinerated them. And they need to be reminded of that.
Trump may say, "Don't mess around with the USA or this may happen to you!" LOL
No. He wouldn't even have to say it. Other countries are peeing their pants right now.
Trump never said he would use nuclear weapons... he said he isn't going to get rid of them like Stupid Obama is.
235 more days until this Apologizer in Chief is out of office!
Sorry, but I feel like I'm in a Frosh first year of high school classroom.
That's probably a step up for you.
I despise watching this video, he should be apologizing to the veterans of Pearl Harbor, Japan saw it coming, Obama might as well apologize to the Taliban for us retaliating because of 9-11.
has he never heard of the crusades?
Massacres of Native Americans and Atlantic slave trade , American Civil War（scorched earth strategy）,The invasion of Hawaii , España, Mexico, Philippines, Nicaragua ,Dresden, Hiroshima,Japanese concentration camps ,Grenada invasion.Rape of Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan,Abu Ghraib prison, civilian massacres by the UNMANNED AIRCRAFT. . .
If you study U.S atrocities in the entire human history, they never be qualified to bash other nations' war crimes.

@ 8:28 - except for the jains, Mr.President
Why doesn't Obama stay there!?
They started the fight on December 7 1941.
Obama: "We must get rid of nuclear weapons and all weapons used for war!" Guy: "So, you're getting rid of nuclear weapons in the US to lead the way?" Obama : "Well, no. I kind of just thought everyone else would get rid of their nukes. Fuck outta here we're not getting rid of ours."
The world should give up nuclear weapons (except for us.)
If you live by the "Do as I say, Not as I do" philosophy, you'll never go anywhere in life.
President Obama's idealistic vision is encouraging. But if he continues to endorse a hawkish Democratic candidate for the next president rather than a truly progressive candidate, I can't help to doubt his determination to bring about the real changes..

Je suis français j'ai seulement 17 ans et j'aimerais tellement que ma belle France soit du même avis ,en finir avec le nucléaire.
Mais pourquoi? J'suis américain et je pense que l'énergie nucléaire sera nécessaire parcque il y'aura un manque de énergie plus tard... et le promis de la science est que l'énergie atomique, c'est non polluante et sûr. La France est un bon exemple de cette réalité.
Je suis d'accord pour les usines mes pas les armes attention.
Thank you President Obama for visiting Hiroshima. That Trump has a chance of becoming the president of the United States is appalling....

Remember Pearl Harbor! You mess with the buck, you get the horn!
Massacres of Native Americans and Atlantic slave trade , American Civil War（scorched earth strategy）,The invasion of Hawaii , España, Mexico, Philippines, Nicaragua ,Dresden, Hiroshima,Japanese concentration camps ,Grenada invasion.Rape of Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan,Abu Ghraib prison, civilian massacres by the UNMANNED AIRCRAFT. . .
If you study U.S atrocities in the entire human history, they never be qualified to bash other nations' war crimes.

Obama...best president ever; your like it or not.

Even cars are Toyota, usually domestic Nissan. Well, apart from that, I don't like it. I'm sorry for the lice that have a relationship. Neither I nor my grandson thought that was the case. 🇺🇸 Even people have been killed considerably. I repeatedly shouted at the company that it was better to quit, but no. One day before the atomic bomb was dropped, there was a ☎ from my sister and 🇯🇵 was over. Sweat drips. That's it.
Traitor!
his eyes where saying uh hu mm ya right lol look at his eye lids jumpimg up and down left to right almost as to say bssss to Obama ..
We are going to win so much once this muslim leaves
ok, mr trump voter
Would you please stop with this? Just because he's liberal doesn't make him a muslim. Besides, muslims are actually conservative, just with a very different world view.
And if you're a birther, than go on, stop vaccinating your kids, put on your gas mask to avoid those "chemtrails" and hail your hollow earth lizard-people overlords, because guess what? That's a nutcase conspiracy theory. I see too many idiots buying into those these days. Usually uneducated people at that. And no, science, history, and fact checking does not equate to brain washing.
17:02 why did the japanese prime minister roll his eyes tho
I always think it's fascinating that Obama feels so compelled to honor those who wrought such horrific destruction upon the United States.
