Indeed, he is the typical gay serial finance and debt abuser of the American people, and it is his war there.

The man and the believers in him are full of crap.

Does that count a civil war or a race war?

Otherwise, to bad the Unknown Soldier didn’t rise out of his grave and box with the fake President’s big ears.

The catch22 was “absolutely necessary”.

What's "absolutely necessary" will be decided by his campaign advisors.

...focusing instead on the wars started by his predecessor, George W. Bush...

Al Reuters, still lying about history. The Iraq War was started by Saddam Hussein ten years before GW Bush ever took office. The Afghanistan war was started by al Qaeda on the 11th of September, 2001. If we say that Bush started that one, we'd have to say that FDR started WWII in the Pacific.

Necessary: for example if his poll numbers dropped during an election year.

It seems to have escaped his notice that if we don’t pin down terrorists in Afghanistan and Iraq, they’ll make their way to New York, Philadelphia, and, yes, even Washington.

Moreover, having thrown Israel under the bus and supported, and even subsidized, terrorist organizations throughout the Middle East in the overthrow of their governments in the so-called “Arab Spring,” he foolishly believes the Moslems will see us as “good guys” and be grateful accordingly.

Bull. Sh*t.

The enemies of this century are most certainly NOT going to show up off Cape Cod or Monterey in landing craft, and they’re certainly NOT going to issue a declaration of war before they strike.

Obama is, unfortunately, an ignoramus who has learned nothing from history.

Emphasis on CAMPAIGN advisors, indeed.

At a Gas Station I once asked a Woman who had a “War is not the answer” bumper sticker on her Car, “well, what is the answer?”

She glared at me, called me an A Hole and drove off.

It appears that people think they can make a statement by wearing a T Shirt, putting a Bumper Sticker on their car or putting up a Yard Sign without having a clue of what they are representing.

When I make a statement, such as the “Antiobamunist On Board” sticker in my car's rear window, I welcome anyone to ask me for clarification. To my chagrin, they never do.

This is much like Obama’s Memorial Day Speech. Obama’s best friends were the ones he was speaking of and he thinks nobody makes the connection. What an ignorant little man child we have running the place. He makes Bill Ayers proud.

Wow. I was searching for the word “satire” in the Keywords section. But it ain’t there.

I guess the war on Fox News was absolutely necessary.

Funny how he can’t even honor our war dead on memorial Day, of all days, without politicizing a solemn day and dissing President Bush.
