Duterte 'deliberately' avoided Obama at summit

well maybe BHO should have apologized to the comments he made about The PI and Duterte's election...

SGT (Join to see) Based on the information included in the CNN article, I think that Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte was behaving more as a gentlemen in this case. That seems like a shock based on his previous comments about our now lame-duck President.
"Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has admitted he didn't attend sessions at a regional summit in Laos because he wanted to avoid an "awkward situation" with US President Barack Obama.
"I was there. I attended the meetings, actually," he told the Wallace Business Forum on Monday night in Manila.
"But you know, Obama was there, and because we had an exchange of words, I was just trying to avoid an awkward situation."
Prior to the summit, Duterte had cursed Obama as a "son of a bitch," prompting the White House to cancel planned bilateral talks between the two leaders."
I think it was wise of President Duterte avoid being with POTUS Barrack Obama. I think he is looking forward to President Donald Trump :-)
Thanks for mentioning me SMSgt Minister Gerald A. "Doc" Thomas

Over the years Many heads of State has disrespected Obama. I don't like the man but an insult from a foreign country to our President is an insult to all of us. I support Trump but there are some issues I don't support this is one of those. Duterte is out of control but I see Obama will do nothing on this as well and leave it to Trump. I pray Trump changes his stance and hands down a smack on Duterte's lil ass.
