OBAMA'S BRIDGE TOO FAR
THE STORM UNLEASHED ON AMERICA
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.....
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.
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...
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?
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?
” 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)”
Good to hear this...I have Fox on but it is muted....
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.
He laughs at a nuclear attack.........what a smart ass.
Camera is locked on Obama. No view of those few applauding.
Stacked deck, like all the other forums the past few weeks.
“The mental illness of our returning troops must be addressed.” Yes, participating in immoral wars always leads to madness. I remember this crap when I returned from Vietnam. We would all be violent psychotics. Uhu. Libs ALWAYS bring-in that defending your country leads to madness and mass killings. What a putz.
They better watch out, if they get on his enemies list they’re liable to lose any benefits they may have earned.
I will allow no pork in the Defense Budget! What about all the other bills Osama?
“I promise that no veteran’s healthcare will be compromised by my new bill. I promise that no new paperwork will affect any veteran’s healthcare. I promise that no veterans will see any drop in their benefits and I am so directing my secretary of veterans affairs.” Two rows of Obama appointees applaud; from the rest, silence. LOL!
Didn’t the VFW side with Obama during his campaign?
Obama’s stumbling now. Speaking with the passion of someone reading the directions to a lawn trimmer. Now he’s talking about Normandy, Arnheim, and Battle of the Bulge. Mentions a vet who participated and got bronze medal. “True patriotism is not boisterous or loud.” (Is there ANY better look into the soul of this pitiful clown?) “Instead, it’s about quiet and attending to fellow veterans.” The vet finally passed away in his sleep, “quietly.” (IOW, SHUT UP about being patriotic). Ugh.
Did I hear correctly? They moved Bastogne to Holland?
Was the head of the VFW really on Fox news this morning, praising Obama?? I saw that on another thread and couldn’t believe it.
I heard he had their tongues cut out so they couldn’t speak or their chairs wired for electrical shocks if they said anything he didn’t want to hear.
I suppose his technique is to wear down the opposition, but he
is irritating and overexposed. I think people are getting sick of him.
When's he going to capture Osama?
01:22 PMYahoo! (Summary of POTUS in Phoenix today)
"President Obama told veterans today that his administration is on course to end the war in Iraq, win the war in Afghanistan, and prepare the military for the challenges ahead.
"We will do right by our troops and taxpayers," Obama said in Phoenix to the convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. "And we will build the 21st Century military we need."
The president also pledged to improve and maintain health care for veterans. He did not discuss the ongoing health care debate at length, but told the VFW there has been "so much misinformation" about his proposals.
"One thing that reform won't change is veterans health care," Obama said, "No one is going to take away your benefits.That is the plain and simple truth." That includes new programs to improve electronic health records of veterans and reduce the number of homeless veterans.
In a speech devoted to military policy, Obama did not mention that reports that commanders may seek more troops to fight the Taliban along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. "Going forward, we will constantly adapt our tactics to stay ahead of the enemy and give our troops the tools and equipment they need to succeed."
He called victory in Afghanistan essential because "those who attacked America on 9/11 are plotting to do so again." He called it "a war of necessity," as opposed to a "war of choice," as he has described Iraq.
The U.S. will stick to its withdrawal plan in Iraq, Obama said. It will begin pulling out combat brigades later this year; all combat troops will be gone by the end of next August; all U.S. troops period will be out of Iraq by the end of 2011.
"And for America," Obama said, "the Iraq War will end." (No applause for this line from the veterans, by the way.)
As for the way forward, Obama pledged to reform the procurement process so that troops have the best equipment possible at the best cost to taxpayers.
In praising congressional efforts to rein in unnecessary Pentagon spending, Obama gave a shout-out to one of Arizon's favorite sons: Sen. John McCain, the man Obama defeated in last year's presidential election.
Obama did draw laughs with one example of military waste, a billion-dollar helicopter that would allow presidents to cook during a nuclear war.
"If the United States is under nuclear attack," Obama said, "the last thing on my mind will be whipping up a snack."

Oh, for contrast and comparison, if only Sarah had been invited and accepted (she does more than flap her lips, her first born is overseas in harm’s way).
I bet this is bruising Hussien’s massive ego!
OUCH!!
Please send me the link to this speech after it’s over.
Any word on demonstrators outside the venue? I hear there are both pro-Obama and anti-Obama protestors. Any word on which group is better represented? Any pictures? There’s gotta be plenty of Phoenix area FReepers ‘round here!!
Obama’s going to have to learn to stay away from rooms he hasn’t packed with hand picked supporters.
