So Obama visited Hiroshima, hugged a survivor, and paid tribute to the war dead from both nations. And this really upset people.
Is there any good reason why people should be mad at Obama and still angry at Japan or is this just more of the braindead modern conservative movement?

its not endemic to American conservatives. I think it's more a manifestation of nationalism than anything else. It pissed off the Chinese and Korean governments too for various reasons.
Japan wasn't exactly nice to those countries during dubya dubya dos. To them it's a slap in the face to effectively apologize for dropping the bombs. I understand it.
People are mad at what they automatically assume was an apology because "darn that apology tour Obama." It wasn't. Japan is unlikely to receive one in the lifetime of any of the remaining atom bomb survivors. Japan doesn't even expect one. Instead, it was an acknowledgement, and a statement against nuclear weapons. And it's pretty obvious that the United States is unlikely to give up its nukes at any near juncture.
