SEOUL, South Korea – Warning North Korea from its doorstep, President Barack Obama said Pyongyang risks deepening its isolation in the international community if it proceeds with a planned long-range rocket launch.
"North Korea will achieve nothing by threats or provocations," Obama said during a news conference Sunday in Seoul, South Korea, where he was to attend a nuclear security summit.
Obama spoke fresh off his first visit to the tense Demilitarized Zone, the heavily patrolled no-man's land between North and South Korea, where he peered long and hard at the isolated North.
"It's like you're in a time warp," Obama said. "It's like you're looking across 50 years into a country that has missed 40 years or 50 years of progress."
Gee... it appears that Lady Jazzer really lost her cookies and posted a whole thread about my headline calling Obama (the white black) a white black. Well he is and it's a fact. So I don't know what the problem is? To go off topic a moment (on my own thread)... they are still calling Zimmerman a "white Hispanic." I wish they would stop doing that. Read...
Black friend defends shooter of Florida teen
SANFORD, Florida (Reuters) - George Zimmerman is not a racist and cried for days after shooting dead a black Florida teenager, a black, longtime friend of Zimmerman said on Sunday in a sympathetic portrayal of a man maligned by critics as a trigger-happy bigot.
Zimmerman, 28, a white Hispanic, shot Trayvon Martin, 17, in what he said was self defense during an altercation in the gated community Zimmerman was watching on February 26 in Sanford, Florida. After attracting little notice initially, the case gained widespread attention, sparking protests and renewing a national debate about race.
"He couldn't stop crying. He's a caring human being," Joe Oliver, 53, a former television news reporter and anchor in Orlando who has known Zimmerman for several years, told Reuters in a telephone interview.
So... that should settle that. Now lets get back to the subject at hand. Obama (the white black) is doing a bang up job in South Korea, letting the North Koreans (and their new child-emperor) know that the United States is not going to put up with any bull crap from them.
