...while simultaneously undercutting and demoralizing them at every turn...
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

President Obama praised U.S. intelligence and other national security agencies Tuesday for cooperating in pursuit of al-Qaeda, saying "real progress" has been made against the group.
Speaking at the National Counterterrorism Center in McLean, Obama described an al-Qaeda weakened by both the coordinated U.S. effort against it and the group's own "bankrupt ideology."
He also credited his foreign policy, which he described as "leading by example," for helping turn opinion in the Muslim world against the group.
"Few Americans know about the work you do, and this is how it should be," Obama said. "Today I want every American to know about the difference you've made."
The White House has been charting a delicate course as it attempts to turn the page on Bush-era anti-terrorism policies. Even as Obama wages a war in Afghanistan that he has called critical to curbing terrorism, his administration is trying to defend itself from criticism by former vice president Richard B. Cheney and other Republicans for casting aside what they say are critical tools for protecting the United States.
Obama aides pointed to the events leading up to the recent arrest of Najibullah Zazi as a prime example of what they say is the president's deep involvement in anti-terrorism efforts. In late August, shortly after federal agents began tracking the movements of the suspected terrorist in Colorado, senior officials added the case to Obama's daily intelligence briefing in the Oval Office.

BARF!

If this speech was supposed to convince the American public how dedicated he is to National Security, it was epic FAIL.
He is dedicated to failure of the United States.
” You Lie!”
Every way and every day. Literally.
“Obama aides pointed to the events leading up to the recent arrest of Najibullah Zazi as a prime example of what they say is the president’s deep involvement in anti-terrorism efforts.

It was the NYPD that busted this case. The feds were holding back. Wonder why? They say looking for more evidence, but the plot was already scheduled.
bam is NOT to be trusted.
So true.
I guarantee you that the first time he heard the name of Najibullah Zazi was on the news, like everybody else.
The list, ping
“White House has been charting a delicate course”
Delicate indeed.
You know, I view it as deceitful. His actions are to dismantle the CIA, the military, give Iran what they want , support the UN to the Nth degree, bring in marxism.
On that point , face it he has to lie to slide his programs, policies and politics into position.
Rather two faced , unadultered liar with a marxist muslim agenda. It will be the death of us. Trust me.
Look at his history.
He always gives one of these speeches praising the people he is getting ready to throw under the bus.
I don’t believe a darn thing he says, and I do worry about those in the combat zone and for those who are sniffing out al-aquada. Would love to know their opinion of the dear leader’s leadership skills.
They are trying to make “his emptiness” appear patriotic and caring about our Troops and our National Security. They think we are so stupid we haven’t read about the needless Military deaths in Afghanistan that lay right at the bloody doorstep of this treasonous scammer in chief. He is SO altogether nauseating, I had to take a pepcid to stop the heartburn. This pr!ck is giving me an ulcer!
I kept thinking that if I was one of the real patriots gathered there to hear a speech from an anti-American poseur who has been at war with America since he took office, I don’t think I could have sat there without swallowing on my tongue.

That’s a fact, and we all know it. Damn the press for committing treason by propping up a KNOWN traitor.
At the same time, he persists in his efforts to release terrorists from Guantanamo, hounds,bankrupts andd seeks to jail the heroes who protected us post-911, and softens the prison regime of Richard Reid, so that Reid might have a chance to “convert” the dumbells in the general prison population. I REALLY dislike this guy.
mabelle is the tipler. Of course she looks like that all the time. She grows the carrots too. I don’t know. I am so confused!
Its ludicrous. This sort of crap can't even be favorably spun by the MSM.
The world is laughing at him trying to get his performance polls up via campaigning.All he has to do is govern from the middle and abandon his socialist policies.But his handlers won't allow it. In truth Obama is nothing more than a submissive biatch.You can see it is his body language.He should be rounding on Manual and Axeworthless, and telling them that his Czars will all be fired. And that he will keep a few of them once their appointments are approved by the proper congressional committees.
But I hope Obama keeps right on doing what he is doing right up to 2010.
There won't be enough Dem paper left around for a single ass wipe. We will purge the treasonous ba$tard$ at the ballot box.
And if that doesn't work, over half the nation is boot ready.
