Thanks.
I had just put it my photobucket and couldn’t get it to work.
Thanks Again!

[Rick_Michael]

We should all just hope for the best.

[Past Your Eyes]

Too bad there wasn’t one more choice: “Scared Shiftless”.

“Being that the Marine Corps can be sent anywhere in the world with the snap of his fingers, nobody has confidence in this guy as commander in chief,” said one lance corporal who asked not to be identified.

Hope for Change.
Hope and Pray.
Pray for Hope.

I seem to remember that I and my former airmen in the USAF were worried about Clinton when he was coming into office..

Nothing new here to me.

[Kolokotronis]

““Being that the Marine Corps can be sent anywhere in the world with the snap of his fingers, nobody has confidence in this guy as commander in chief,” said one lance corporal who asked not to be identified.”

Probably he should leave the military.

[BooBoo1000]

He is right, so probably he should be promoted.

They had to take a poll to figure that out?

[oldbill]

Shouldn’t there be a “Well, Duh!” after the title line?

[Texas Eagle]

I predict by the end of Obammy’s four years in office all that will be left in the military will be women and gays.

[rbosque]

I remember when I was in the Navy. Clinton was supposed to stop by at Naval Station Norfolk. They asked for volunteers to greet him and no one volunteered. Don’t know what happened after that, I was PCSing.

[rlmorel]

He is a liberal.

He is a radical.

He is a socialist.

He is racist.

He and all like him detest the military and would rather see money spent on weapons going instead to turkey basters for lesbians.

They have nothing but contempt for military personnel, they view them as losers who can’t do anything else with their lives.

Say what you will about President Bush-the military had a high regard for him, because they knew he respected them and their mission.

Military personnel can smell a phony a mile away. That is why they detest liberals like John Kerry, John Murtha, Bill and Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

[rlmorel]

Military personnel know that Barack Obama is best friends with people like this:

A lot of military people (and other Americans) feel the same way I do. They fight under this flag. Many of them have friends who were buried under this flag. My father served the majority of his life under this flag, and was buried under it.

This douchebag Obama is best of friends with this anti-American SCUMBAG Ayers, who should have been put to DEATH by hanging for what he and his associates did, of which he gleefully says "Guilty as hell, Free as a bird...". He STANDS on the American flag and grinds it into the dirt. The same flag I saw a color guard fold reverently and hand to my mother, he stands on it with his filthy shoes.

I hope he and all his kind rot in Hell.

Making the link "hot".

Consider the poll was from Ganett news and you’ll know how accurate it is. All 4 papers turned left when Ganett bought them out.

2008 Military Times poll: Wary about Obama

[AlaskaErik]

I'm glad I retired when I did. All those certificates and things that are signed by the president and were presented to me at my retirement ceremony would have been banished to the crawl space if Nobama’s signature had been on them.

[MuttTheHoople]

Dissent is patriotic.

[mojitojoe]

When asked how they feel about President-elect Barack Obama as commander in chief, six out of 10 active-duty service members say they are uncertain or pessimistic, according to a Military Times survey.

In follow-up interviews, respondents expressed concerns about Obama’s lack of military service and experience leading men and women in uniform.

“Being that the Marine Corps can be sent anywhere in the world with the snap of his fingers, nobody has confidence in this guy as commander in chief,” said one lance corporal who asked not to be identified.

Can you blame them? They put their lives on the line for our country. They aren’t stupid. They see him for what he is. A poser that is “present”.

[mojitojoe]

That was powerful and very true, and very sad.

[napscoordinator]

Dang I just thought of this. My retirement papers WILL have Barak Obama’s signature on them when I retire in June 2011. Damn! I wonder if I could get an extention until January 21, 2012? I will look into this. Of course, if he is reelected than I am really screwed. lol.

[napscoordinator]

Not with President Bush in office.

[chadwimc]

More like a “No shit”??? In keeping with military jargon...

[ThunderStruck94]

Hey, I went to NAPS a long time ago and I am eligible to retire in June 2011. If I were active reserve/FTS, I would be worried about my job right now.

[PghBaldy]

Srangely enough, black servicemembers overwhelmingly support him. Who’da thunk it?

[nutmeg]

bttt

[stanz]

A no-brainer...why would any serviceman/woman have confidence in a man who has said he wants to dismantle our defense structure in order to reallocate funds for “the middle class.” What a f***ing joke.
