Those "officers" who showed disrespect to the Commander-In-Chief are not real Officers and are a disgrace to West Point and all the other graduates who preceded them.
Bush could talk in his sleep and give a better speech than Obama. What do you think... did Barack write his own lousy speech for West Point or did somebody write it for him? Looks like somebody could've warned him how inappropriate it was before he gave it. Or maybe his advisors have decided to let him go down in flames. "Yes, Mr. President. It's an historic speech... right up there with Kennedy's 'Ask not...'." Do you think they're setting him up?
Actually, Obama is the disgrace. A community organizer as CiC is absurd. The man's never even been a Boy Scout. Simply winning an election doesn't make one a leader. Obviously.
Your entitled to your opinion; I just don't agree with it. I thought Dubya was one of the worst presidents ever to hold office, but nonetheless I'd give him the respect owed to the office he occupied.
Yes, he is. But all of the first Presidents were British-American, and nobody called them British. If someone wishes to refer to him as an "American of partially African descent", I think that would be fine. But I somehow suspect if somone calls an American an African, or a Mexican, they aren't trying to insert an objective observation about ancestry. And sure enough, the "African" label was indeed intended as a slur, applied by a birther. - - - Updated - - - Been a long long time since any President wrote his own speeches. Bush certainly didn't. Or do you suppose we've reached the point where writing his speeches is a thankless task.
I didn't catch any of those, but I did liked the ones when he was awake, before the GOP hid him away. [video=youtube;KjmjqlOPd6A]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjmjqlOPd6A[/video] It's good that you aren't seething with hatred for the guy Americans most recently twice chose to be the nation's leader. Such irrational spite makes some folks appear quite absurd.
Is it not a good time for these folks who erected Obama (twice) to do some soul searching, and ask themselves why exactly have they done so?
Agreed. I'd go one step further and say that being able to read a speech and deliver it well off a teleprompter doesn't make a good leader either. He has proven over and over again that he has no principles and is all about politics.
What credentials? None have been published. And if you insist on claiming King Obama, Racist, Fascist and muslim Traitor is expert in the matter of Constitutional law, then you must also agree that ALL of his Constituitonal violations are deliberate and thus both criminal and treasonous. - - - Updated - - - They stopped searching for their souls long ago, when they discovered the damn thing hates traitors, liars, and hypocrites and wants nothing to do with them.
Bush certainly hired better speech writers. Or maybe it's just the fact Obama has lied so many times, he's lost all credibility with his audiences. Only so much a speech writer can do, you know? [PAUSE & SMILE]
And 150% marxist! Not to mention 100% muslim. And there's the 500% traitor. PLUS the 1150% racist. That makes him 2000%!
Why are you so desperate to threadjack this topic? Because you can't come up with an excuse for your hero? P.S. Bush was chosen twice to be the nation's leader as well. Maybe you should show him some respect too, eh?
They did show him a lot more respect than all of America's enemies and about half of our allies have ever shown Obama.
I agree that intelligence does not equate to leadership. On the other hand, I still contend that stupid people attempting to claim that Obama is stupid is far more amusing, since it has such an ironic flavor which they cannot grasp.
The liberals did the same thing to Bush, but Bush was actually a good decisive leader. Obama is great at reading a teleprompter, better than anyone I have ever seen, but as a leader, he absolutely sucks
Being able to deliver a speech off a teleprompter, and doing it well....does NOT decribe King Obama, Teleprompter Reader In Cheif. People who give good speeches can say the word "corpsman" without sounding like a Walking Dead fan.
It was a measured and intelligent vision of the changing role of America in the world. Since the neo-cons have categorically proven that military force applied with lack of forethought does not produce the desired results but does cost orders of magnitude more blood and treasure. Of course it did. For the thousands dead, the out of control corruption, the billions spent to what? Stop Saddam from using his nukes? More like wanting that oil that was supposed to pay for that specific exercise in military adventurism. Even afghanistan failed. Bush didn't get Binnie, he spent thousands of lives and billions of dollars to oust the taliban who are still around after 13 years. Imagine a bunch of sheep and goat herders fending off not just the great American war machine, but every single major power that has been stupid enough not to learn from history. I hope you didn't have to think to hard to arrive at that completely partisan and rather ill informed conclusion.
Neither of which apply to Obama anyway. Say "corpsman". Name all 57 states. Have you ever given the Queen of England an iPod with all of YOUR speeches on it? Would you ever? Have you ever given the Prime Minister of England a collection of DVDs that won't run in Europe? Have you ever been forced into drinking a beer with a white guy because you were a racist? King Obama, when he isn't being a traitor, is a dumb(*)(*)(*)(*).
Why am I not surprised that regardless of the facts you cling to such bumpersticker nonsense. Much like his birth certificate isn't proof that he is an american. The idiocy to think that some how Obama sailed thru three universities simply because he is whack and that he didn't release his university transcripts is yet another right wing bumpersticker conspiracy and lame attempt at character assassination. Never fails.
How were they debunked? Barack Obama himself said his grades at Occidental were terrible, and this was at a time when Occidental was going through a period of obscene grade inflation. Obama has never released his transcripts, which would in fact be the very best evidence used to debunk what Obama himself said. Finally, he also said publicly that he couldn't help his daughter Malia with her sixth grade math homework because it was above his pay grade. Obama doesn't have sixth grade competency in mathematics? Well that would explain a whole lot. And finally, brilliant people do not have disastrous Presidencies. How else can you explain the Obama Presidency? You have two options, Obama is a dummy or Obama is evil. Of the two, it would be better for the country if he was evil.
Oh, so affirmative action made Obama president? then that seems to be a testament that the program is achieving what it was originally designed to achieve. Imagine that. But I am amazed that a comment like "its high time to have a black president" was sufficient to elect him not once but twice. That certainly explains a lot about american politics.
Don't you ever get tired of parroting partisan propaganda and the constant pitiful attempts at character assassination that seem to be a cornerstone of the right's strategy, along with unsubstantiated accusations, witchhunts, unbelievable hypocrisy and more focus on short term ideological power gaming than focussing on addressing the real challenges facing the nation? Of course not. So ready to criticize, but so bereft of actual solutions.
Yes I do. He didn't lie about the VA. He didn't lie about Jobs. He did lie about keeping your policy. And the ACA is DESIGNED to shift healthcare coverage away from employers, a phenomena resulting from a temporary measure some 60 years ago, and back in the hands of citizens. Mod edit, flounder
It wasn't military might that did that. It was economic exploitation of nations that had UNCONDITIONALLY SURRENDERED. I don't recall an unconditional surrender in Iraq 1 or 2, nor in Afghanistan. I do not recall a single economic return from either of those incredibly deep money cess pools.
