Well, folks, it appears we're living in times when Dennis Rodman rips President Barack Obama. Yep. The former Chicago Bulls star took aim at Obama this week, criticizing him for refusing to speak with Kim Jong-Un about the ongoing issues with North Korea.
Watch video after cut.....
Rodman became a sort of pseudo-diplomatwhen he first visited the Hermit Kingdom on a "basketball diplomacy" mission back in February while filming a documentary for HBO. The former NBA player was photographed laughing with Kim courtside, all while relations between North Korea and the West deteriorated. The two became pals during the trip, and Rodman plans to go back in August. Rodman insisted at the end of his trip that the Supreme Leader is a "really awesome guy."
After a brief lull in North Korea's recent anti-U.S. rhetoric, tensions heightened again last week when it was revealed that North Korea had sentenced Korean-American Kenneth Bae to 15 years of hard labor for unspecified "hostile acts" against the state, the Associated Press reported. The U.S. has been relying on Swedish diplomats in Pyongyang to deal with the issue because North Korea and the U.S. haven't had diplomatic relations since the 1953 ceasefire that ended the Korean War.
