Obama does have a lot on his plate, but he's also talked big about nuclear disarmament. Where better to do it than in Hiroshima or Nagasaki? It's a missed opportunity not to squeeze it in to his visit, so either he doesn't really mean what he says or he'd feel…

In more related news, 10 out of 10 potential voters want lower taxes, higher public spending and a reduction in the national debt!
