President Obama, you have shamed the Military. You think your puny no brainer of a decision was tough? Put yourself in then General Eisenhower's place the day before D-Day. General Eisenhower had the guts to meet up with the 101st Airborne thinking that 80% of these men would be dead within the next 48 hours. Yet he spent time with them despite his breaking heart. Then on his drive back he penned a note that said the following:

“Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops. My decision to attack at this time and place was based upon the best information available. The troops, the air and the Navy did all that Bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone.”

Compare those heroic words to your puny, sly, cowardly words you had the CIA record. You make me sick you puny little man.

Enough said.

Utterly shameless! Even though FDR was in failing health during his 1944 re-election campaign, he did not even figuratively “spike the football” concerning the D-Day victory, especially with troops still on the battlefield. How low and small for Team Obama!

Why doesn’t obama compare himself to truman, who had to decide whether to drop the bomb TWICE. Can you imagine knowing you made the call that specifically ended hundreds of thousands lives?
Or kennedy in the cuban missile crisis?
Or bush 1, who had to make the call to risk, and expected to loose 100k lives in a war against iraq. Her had to orders troops in, who would act as speed bumps if iraq moved on our allies. A-10s were sent in to be expended slowing down sadam.
Or bush 2, who was in the position to have to orders a civilian aircraft be shot down, and some suggest that is what happened to 93.

I know some of those are dems, and not exactly welcome names here, but they knew what a tough call really was.
