Here is video of a mother of one of the sailors killed in the terrorist attack on the USS Cole in 2000 speaking out today against President Obama for his decision to drop the charges against the mastermind of the attack. She refused to meet with Obama today at the White House, and says he is letting down America's guard against Terrorists. Very powerful statements. . . . (Watch Video)

Utter betrayal.
And Obama didn’t even have the courtesy to listen to the relatives and the captain before he made his decision.

Watch people start to leave the military in droves now.

WHEN AMERICA WAS GREAT:

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
"
President Ronald Reagan





TODAY:

"I freed a terrorist who murdered Americans. And I liked it."

He never does, about anything. It's all just a show with this bum. He's playing to his audience ("Oh, he's so compassionate, so wonderful!"). I say to h*ll with his posturing, lying a$$.

I am sure she voted for him because he was black.

This is what you get when you do not pay attention to anything other than race or gender.

I’m not angry with this woman for her vote. The vast majority of black voters vote Democrat, no matter what color. I’m sorry for her family’s loss, but I hope this is a wakeup call for her and many other people.

I also hope “The One” sees this video and hears what this mother is saying.

Hussien will be another Jimmy Carter “one & done!”
Double digit inflation, unemployment & interest rates by 2012.

I only hope & pray to God that we still have a country left to live & vote in, in 2012!

His name is James McDaniels.

3 others from Texas were also killed.

Justice has been denied twice now for America's sons and daughters: James, Timothy Lee, Gary, Timothy Lamont, Cherone, Lakiba, Richard, Andrew, Craig, Kenneth, Lakeina, Ronchester, Marc, Ronald, Joshua, Patrick, and Kevin.

I didn’t say I was angry with the woman, I was just stating a fact. When you vote for someone without knowing what they stand for, you are bound to be disappointed.

It's going to be interesting to see what zero will do when the black, Muslim, Sgt, who fragged the officers in Iraq comes up for trial. Speaking of which, the Marines from Haditha have already been tried and sentenced.

I want to humbly go on record to predict that O will not be allowed to finish his term. The continuing loss of jobs is going to leave a lot of people with not much to do, and they will become vocal.

If there is a significant event in the stock market, his own party will take him out. Dems never get blamed for their racism, so that won’t be a problem.

Biden will be a caretaker. Kind of like Ford, except dimmer.

“I’m upset. I voted for him, and now I think I made a mistake” - I can’t wait until I meet one of these people who are just waking up in person - “You’ve got to be one of the dumbest people I ever met” will pretty much be my reacion to their dilemma.......

I realize you're new ‘round here, so I'll be nice but “O will not be allowed to finish his term?”...unless he is impeached, he'll be ‘round here until 2013...and unfortunately for us, there are no grounds for impeachment for “stupidity!” LOL

Think about all the enlisted military families that were ‘worked’ by Michelle Obama during the campaign and who voted for BHO... how are they feeling tonight? Could be any of their loved ones tomorrow.

Rules are made to change. They won’t let him destroy the party if it comes to that. Dem loyalty is not loyalty at all. Might not be impeachment. Maybe just a well-timed tap on the shoulder by the right person at the right time.

Thanks for being nice though. If I’m wrong, I’ll say it loud and clear.

With a majority of Dems in the house and senate, even if he is impeached, he will not be removed from office. JMO

To qualify my statement, it would only happen if he destroys the party and/or jeopardizes their reelection. Otherwise it will not happen. They will not give up the power they have now.
