Dennis Rodman Slams President Obama Over American Prisoner, Plans to Visit North Korea

Rodman, who gets close to North Korea's
leader Kim Jong-Un, slams President Obama
over American citizen being held in the
country's jail, saying that the U.S.' president
'can't even go talk.'
Former
basketball
player Dennis
Rodman said
that he would
go to North
Korea to talk
about American
citizen Kenneth
Bae who is
currently held
in the country
for alleged
government
overthrow. In a
video posted by
TMZ on Friday,
May 10, Rodman also criticized President
Obama on the issue.
"I'm gonna try and get the guy out. It's gonna
be difficult," he said. Shortly after, he began
attacking President Obama, "We got a black
president [who] can't even go talk to [Jong-un].
Obama can't do s**t, I don't know why he
won't go talk to him," he ranted. In addition,
he dropped the F word, "Obama? F**k him!"
He planned to go to North Korea on August 1.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un takes
interest in basketball. He and Rodman became
friends when Rodman toured the country last
February with HBO's "Vice" series. The two
even watched a basketball game together.
Rodman, who declared Kim Jong-Un as friend,
took to Twitter earlier this week to say that he
would ask his North Korean friend a favor.
"I'm calling on the Supreme Leader of North
Korea or as I call him 'Kim', to do me a solid
and cut Kenneth Bae loose," he wrote.
Kenneth Bae has been sentenced to 15 years of
hard labor because of alleged "hostile acts"
against North Korea. The country accused him
of "trying to establish a base for anti-
Pyongyang activities."
