Not-so-subtle message.....

A U.S. Army cadet reads a book entitled "Kill Bin Laden" as he waits with other cadets for U.S. President Barack Obama to deliver an address on U.S. policy and the war in Afghanistan at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, New York December 1, 2009.

Notice the cadet on the right — the excitement in his face is obvious as he waits with baited breath to hear the profound words of his commander-in-love-with-himself.

Yes. And a number of other active duty awards. He is clearly a Soldier who has opted to go to West Point and join the officer corps. There were quite a few former enlisted Soldiers in the audience shots I saw.

Nor only a CIB, but right under it is the Army Good Conduct Medal.

Whoa! The cadet with the Bin Laden book is fun, but check out the cadet front and to the right. Not a happy camper!?!

Wonder how sick it makes him to have a coward in Chief as President.

Yes. Evidently not your typical West Point cadet.

at the U.S. Military Academy

Or, as MSNBC's Chris Matthews calls it, the enemy camp.
