Glad to see that good sense is being used in this case. Making them guilty only advocates free reign for red shirts and their ilk to do whatever terrorist activities they want to.

why don't they use drones?

What a sad, angry, little man.

If he can say what is in my sig and get away with it, he can get away with saying anything!

Milking that song for all it's worth!

Their voice must be heard? They need to speak up a bit louder if they want this government to listen.

They apparently represent less than 50k people.

Never mind the other 100,000 or so that were blocked by police from attending.

Is it right to assume the protest was called off because of not enough protestors?

Redshirts are easy to spot, just check their a$$holes for 500 baht bills stuck up them.

Sounds like it was a great visit all around! Good on the Big O!

Anybody here know how she perfroms when she speaks in Thai? I mean, I am sure she is fluent, but is she a good speaker, or.....

Speaking after a welcome speech by Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, Obama greeted the audience by saying "sawaddee krub" and hailed the prime minister's English as "much better than my Thai".

This statement makes me laugh, he must know the low down on how she got into power, is he laughing at her poor English?

We can see from the pic that the pleasure is all hers, I guess she will gain credibility from this meeting.

I'd love it if he met Abhisit as well, for a proper conversation, I expect he's thinking the same thing in this pic

I think he is just being gracious to his host. Good on him! I agree, he probably would have a slight headier conversation with Abhisit!

Thailand, please keep him there, the US economy can not survive 4 more years with him.

The right wing will now be accuseing him of being a buddhist instead of a muslim.

they don't care (or know) which religion it is. It's enough if he bows to anyone

As well, considering that Buddhism is not even a religion, he should be alright! Shouldn't care what the fundamentalist middle red think anyway, bunch of loons!

I wonder what dinner will be? How does one eat gai yang and somtaam with a Head of State?

Hopefully they won't be serving nam prik gapi!

Should let her speak anyway. Obama can't say anything right anyway, without his teleprompter!!

You're confusing him with Bush Sr, Little Shrub, and Danny Quayle! Obama certainly is not perfect, but one thing he can do is talk up a storm!

Are there 50,000 police in Thailand? Do they really need 1 policeman for each protestor? Are they actually prepared for handling a demonstration? Thai cops are red, so how can we know they won't flare up the situation?
