what people think of Dennis Rodman, I think it was an opening Obama should have taken advantage of, but yet again, he listened to rightwing extremists within this country. He did the same with Iran and Venezuela. Just maybe North Korea's new young leader used a basketball player because Obama loves basketball. The initial response was he didn't want War, but the whole effort was ridiculed. When will we get a President that does not appease the warmongering rightwing extremists in this country?
