Former UN Ambassador John Bolton didn't mince words in his criticism of Barack Obama as a guest on the Breitbart News Daily radio show.

Talking about Obama's visit to Hiroshima, Bolton refuted the notion that the president was there to honor the lives of Japanese and Allied soldiers.


"I think the President's other remarks … (were) a not-too-thinly veiled attack on Harry Truman, whose morals apparently didn't quite make it up to Barack Obama's high standards," Bolton said on the SiriusXM show.

Calling Hiroshima the final stop in Obama's "apology tour" across Asia, Bolton said in Obama's parsed words lay "a criticism of the United States."

"Mr. High-Minded Obama doesn't say what he would have done differently than what Harry Truman did," Bolton said on the show. "This is typical of Obama. He lives in an ideological world that has little or nothing to do with American reality."
