Lots of talk over this picture, God forbid Americans smile when we greet someone.
How dare Obama try to smooth things over with someone who really hasn’t done anything to us except talk a little smack (most of it, in all reality, was true). Aren’t we tougher than that? Sticks and stones people, sticks and stones!
As for meeting with someone who commits crimes against humanity or jails political opponents, well there’s a long history of that. You may not be surprised that this is actually not the first time an American President has played nice with “the enemy.” Lets look back a little.
- Nixon and Mao
- Nixon and Castro
- Reagan and Gorbachev
- Reagan and Bush and Gorbachev
- Personal Favorite: Donald Rumsfeld and Sadam Hussein
Listen Dick Cheney, I get that you’re mad and you want to complain about something. Just pick battles that don’t completely blow up in your face.
