Obama to Visit DMZ
2012-03-14
U.S. President Barack Obama plans to visit the Demilitarized Zone during his time in Korea attending the Nuclear Security Summit in Seoul, it was reported on Sunday. South Korea and the U.S. are discussing what message to deliver to North Korea during Obama's visit, a diplomatic source said Sunday.
Maybe he'll bow to Pudgy...
"Obama could make a speech expressing the concerns of the international community about North Korea and the U.S.' determination to keep the alliance with South Korea strong," the source added.

Obama is also considering visiting Camp Bonifas, a U.S. Army base in the DMZ. It will be Obama's first visit to the otherwise uninhabited buffer zone between the two Koreas.

The White House apparently wants to affirm the alliance with Seoul and impress on the regime of new North Korean leader Suet Face Kim Jong-un that it must give up its nuclear arms program. The two allies discussed details of the DMZ trip when Foreign Minister Kim Sung-hwan visited Washington recently.

#13  Better yet, hand the binoculars to him with the caps off so he can SEE IT.

#12  Make sure somebody tells him to take the lens caps off the binoculars when he does the "Leader of the Free World Surveys the Most Militarized Place on Earth" photo op.
And don't forget the bomber jacket...

#11  Every step ZChamp makes is coreographed for the news cycle and to try and keep him looking Presidential. Since everyone sees the thrice a day campaign stops for a speech and three fund raisers, they need to make it look like he's doing something. Since he is getting killed even in the MSM by the gas prices, poof, the brave commander in chief staring at barber wire and skinny NORKS, gee how inspiring.

Even I didn't think he planned 100% defence spending cuts for America.
