"Who Is He To Confront Me?" - Philippines President Unloads On "Son Of A Bitch Whore" Barack Obama

Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte was answering a reporter's question about how he intends to explain the extrajudicial killings to Obama.
More than 2,000 suspected drug pushers and users have been killed since Duterte launched a war on drugs after taking office on June 30. In his typical foul-mouthed style, Duterte was quoted by AP as responding: "Who does he think he is? I am no American puppet. I am the president of a sovereign country and I am not answerable to anyone except the Filipino people, nobody but nobody. You must be respectful. Do not just throw questions. Son of a bitch I will swear at you in that forum," he said. | Zero Hedge

Your Say

Actually, I believe the idiom translates more accurately as "Son of a whore."

Which at least indicates a certain historical awareness on the part of Duterte.

And now, Obama in true warmongering fashion, dashed off to change his panties.

He is, of course, correct.
The propensity of the DC filth to dictate to sovereign nations is appalling.

Bakit wala kang sagot? - Tagolog/Filipino for "Why no response?" Obama took his ball and went home because Duterte wouldn't lick his boots.
