President Obama hits Cambodia on rights

Tense meeting marks milestone for US president

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — President Obama on Monday became the first sitting US president to visit Cambodia, arriving to little fanfare and then pointedly criticizing the country’s autocratic leader on the issue of human rights during a tense meeting.

The meeting came hours after Obama was cheered by massive flag-waving crowds in Myanmar, a long-isolated country to which he offered a ‘‘hand of friendship’’ as it rapidly embraces democratic reforms.

Good to know we are all set domestically so that Obama can spend millions to be "the first"...food pantries can't afford to give our ever-growing poor turkeys...pay attention to what is happening in your own yard before you venture out...

Bunch of bungles that will not be covered

Hun Sen is a dictator!  Obie shouldn't have shaken his hand.
