    The place where the press conference was being held as in "a meeting ...where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged" https://www.google.com.au/?client=fi...orum&gfe_rd=cr

    Why hasn't he pointed it out himself, that he wasn't referring to Obama ?

    I don't find that scenario very believable.

    It seems that President Duterte has a history of "colorful" language.

    It seems to be his style. Kind of like Americans who sprinkle "f...in" throughout their sentences.
    I doubt Pres. Obama actually cares or is offended; it's just a matter of maintaining decorum.

    I agree that we shouldn't interfere with how other countries manage their internal affairs;
    we have enough problems of our own. (Duterte has been criticized for "extra-judicial killings",
    but isn't that what we're doing with our drone strikes on people who have not been determined by
    a court of law to be guilty of anything?)
