Obama is speaking before the VFW now. Except for a dozen people or so, they are sitting on their hands. Vets know who the real Obama is. Occasional applause for apple pie statements. For the most part, silence.
When will this endless campaign be over? Zero is pathetic...
Beautiful. Go, Vets! The Thug doesn’t respect you at all. He just mouths the words.
Here, the obamanation is in, for him, a “foreign land” when he talks with the Veterans. These people are HEROS, American HEROS. this obamanation is committing TREASON... reverse TREASON... and they know it.
Applause apparently coming from the 50 or so Obama officials in the front rows.
Just wait till he apologizes to Japan for the U.S. dropping the bomb(s).
‘Peace Through Surrender’ is ‘for the troops’.... ew...
Waiting for him to use ‘for the troops/vets’ to shill his Healthcare Power Grab.....
how many people are there..I just heard applause that was very weak.
ACORN and union thugs bused in no doubt. The Veterans probably had to sit in the back.
Says he’s going to remove all troops from Iraq by 2011. Isn’t that slightly different than his campaign promises? LOL
Excellent. If I were there, I’d be sitting with my arms folded... frowning at The One...
“We will remove all our troops from Iraq by 2011”... silence from audience. “My new comprehensive strategy of March is moving ahead.” Silence. “Our new strategy has defined missions and goals.” Silence. “We are supplying our troops with thr armor and gear they need.” Obama appointees applaud.
Zero:
All troops out of Iraq by 2011. So we can concentrate on AQ and extremist allies in Pah-keestan.
ABOUT...FACE!
Parade...rest.
He’s head flipping at 20+ per minute.
That’s always an indicator of nervousness.
When calmer, he headflips in the 12-16 range.
Awesome!
He should have become a social member. Maybe they would have given him some applause then. I’m sure the crickets can be heard though...
that head flipping is ridiculous..how can Rahm think that is a good thing..
What would have been even better would have been if the Vets remained silent but all of them turned their backs when he walked to the podium.
He probably can’t wait to get out of there.
The Sounds of Silence. Hey, maybe I’ll write a song.
Unless of course the teleprompter is broken on one side. Then he doesn’t head flip at all.
...seems "the None" tried to learn from the master....
He just committed to pulling out ALL troops from Iran in 2011.
What happened to his first 6 months in office promise. LOL
His word means nothing.
The silence is deafening....do you hear the echo? This is awesome.
This guy cannot speak from the heart. He continues to read from a teleprompter. Does he really think people don’t see this? What does he know about being a Commander in Chief? He knows nothing about the military. God help our troops and I hope we have better than good Military Commanders.
I turned down the volume b/c he sounds like he’s reading the back of a cereal box.
Where’s that legendary charisma?

I’ll be danged if I can understand ONE thing he’s said. Sounds like blather to me.
From the news desk of any SRM outlet:
Obama wows Vets speechless
Obama delivered his global-saving message of healthcare reform to former American terrorists, as they listened raptly in reverent silence....
Film at 11
He is such a damned liar.......where is the lightning bolt?
“He just committed to pulling out ALL troops from Iran in 2011.”
I was not aware we had troops in IRAN? Maybe you meant Iraq?
His words have NO meaning. He is a Marxist. Every word out of his mouth is a damn lie
I did just that in Houston in the early 90s. Al Gore came to town to award one of his hokey golden hammers and my boss made me go (I was with DoJ). I on on the 2nd row pretty close to the middle and never unfolded my arms the entire time. When we got back in the car my boss told me I should have at least pretended I wasn’t po’d about being there and politely applauded and I told him not in my lifetime would I ever clap for some dumbass lib.....he cracked up!
” A rabbi, a priest, and a mullah were riding in a car together and uh... (THUMP, THUMP, THUMP) HELLO, anyone one there?? Someone must have put a mickey in the booze!!! Gee! Tough room! (crickets)”
wish I could to screen caps
he just did an Elliot Spitzer lip implosion
He just committed to pulling out ALL troops from Iran in 2011.
I was not aware we had troops in IRAN? Maybe you meant Iraq?
Maybe were going to war with Iran..Somewhere in Iran, Mahmoud is saying “Hey Barack, buddy, I thought we were homies”
Some one should make a bumper sticker with that “Stop this Endless War” but strike through the war part and substitute “campaign”.
Good to hear this...I have Fox on but it is muted....
What, John McCain is “reaching across the aisle” again?
” Ill be danged if I can understand ONE thing hes said. “
There have been whole segments of this speech where it was apparent (mispronunciation, awkward pauses, stumbling on words) that *he* doesn’t understand the words he’s mouthing....
Obama’s now actually reading the Dem talking points about “Restructuring our military.” Now he’s saying that our troops need to be able to “speak the native languages of the people they meet overseas” (presumably so they can ask enemy troops why they are mad at us). I am not making this up. “We need to attack waste in military spending and it needs to stop. This is not apolitical issue but about supporting our troops.” Obama brings-up John McCain as a supporter of “restructuring our military.” Obama pats self on back for “cutting waste.” He’s now talking about programs (F-35, airborne laser anti-missile) and clearly has no idea what he’s talking about.
The look on his face as he’s talking says “I really don’t want to be here”.
Bigger applause this time - he told a joke.
He is a joke
That’s perfect. It really crystallizes what a pompous ass this clown really is.
He just committed to pulling out ALL troops from Iran in 2011.
I was not aware we had troops in IRAN? Maybe you meant Iraq?
Oops, my bad!! I meant Iraq. Thank for pointing that out!
