They're still yrs behind. The vientamese in the US have been successful for a long time. Even creating thriving communities; Garden Grove and Westminster CA.

Mr. Obama, your visit will do only do two things: further sustain the absolute power of the communist regime and prolong the agony and the suffering of the people of Vietnam. The people you meet and talk with are handpicked and polished by the Party. The routes your motorcades travel are meticulously chosen and will only take you through the first world like streets. Along the roads you will see only flags, balloons and happy people who will be cheering you You will have a great time there, it will seem like paradise. In reality, it's anything but.

Obama will meet Vietnam’s communist leadership and stress improving relations with the dynamic and rapidly emerging nation.

Anytime the President can hang out with a fellow Socialist is a good day for the Obama's.

Unlike China, Vietnam reps will be in attendance at the G7 summit in Japan this week. It is archaic cold war era thinking to reject communist nations uniformly.

Will Kabukideath tell us that Nixon and Kissenger shouldn't have gone to China in the early 1970s? Or start calling out Trump for wanting closer ties with North Korea?

Ah, the rightists complaining that Obama is building a relationship with communists.

I just wonder if they've objected with the same snarls to all the relationships built with theocratic butchers and rightist despots over the years.

Just making sure there is no hypocrisy here.

Heh. Lmfao @that comment.

Ah, the rightists complaining that Obama is building a relationship with communists.

Heh . . did they snub Air Force 1 when it landed? The Saudis and Cubans did, by sending low-ranking officials to greet him.

Or start calling out Trump for wanting closer ties with North Korea?

Heh . . if Trump were president & the N. Koreans kept testing long range missiles while threatening to blow the tits off the world, Trump would drop them like a hot potato.

Those santions, by the way, are really working well huh guys?

LMFAO @ these peacemakers.

Hey, I will take peacemaking over the type of cartoonishly immature or anciently ossified thinking pervading the American right. Endless ego tripper Trump seems to layer those bad qualities into one heckuva sh*t samwich.

Very true. Westminster, Garden Grove (Little Saigon) there is nothing in English, you feel like a complete foreigner, but they are amazing people and as you said, clean, thriving upstanding and prosperous communities.

Ah, the rightists complaining that Obama is building a relationship with communists.

Because, he makes them more of a priority than with the countries that embrace democracy. If he wants to establish ties with these communist countries, he could have done that later, much later. Cuba and Iran weren't countries that needed high priority status.

I just wonder if they've objected with the same snarls to all the relationships built with theocratic butchers and rightist despots over the years.

That's just as bad, no arguments there.

Just making sure there is no hypocrisy here.

Not from me.
