Obama thinks Emperor Hirohito surrendered to MacArthur!

[max]

If that idiot Caribou Barbie Palin had something like this, the press would have rightly crucified her...

Barack Obama: "I’m always worried about using the word ‘victory,’ because, you know, it invokes this notion of Emperor Hirohito coming down and signing a surrender to MacArthur.”

Note to Obama: Hirohito did not come down to the Battleship Missouri and sign anything!

The man in the famous picture signing the Japanese Surrender on board the Missouri was NOT Emperor Hirohito. He was Japan's Foreign Minister Shigemitsu. The idea of Japan's exalted Emperor coming to a ship to sign a surrender is laughable.

Obama is an under educated clod masquerading as an intelectual.

Which is why he said that. If the US would have pressed having the Emperor sign the treaty then the war would have never ended until a total Japanese defeat. Try to have a little context.

I think max should post more threads attacking Obama on frivolous bullshit.

Nope.

What Obama was trying to say is that Afghanistan is a different type of war (a valid point).....

He really did believe that Hirohito came to the Missouri. Dont forget...this is the same genious who thought that US troops liberated Poland (Auschwitz). Remember that gaffe?

..Or that Bretton Woods was just Churchill and FDR making deals over brandy (in reality, there were finance ministers from 40 nations at Bretton Woods)

Obama is DUMB AS ROCKS!

Nothing in his statement implied that. So, what's your point?
