Obama to Howard: Chickenhawk!

Barack Hussein Obama fired back at Autralian PM John Howard today, invoking the familiar “nutroots” chickenhawk meme.

Responding to Howard’s criticism of Obama’s Iraq surrender-by-May plan, Obama lashed out at Howard by minimizing the Australian troop commitment of 1400, and said that if Howard believes so strongly in the American effort, he should commit an additional 20,000 Australian troops. (I have been reminded that “stategic redeploment” does not mean “surrender”, but failing to see the difference, I have decided to continue to use my original characterization.)

Perhaps Obama thinks Howard is an easy target. Given Obama’s lack of experience on the world stage, I don’t doubt this one bit. I’ve written previously about the absence of gravitas in the Obama campaign, and this comment is simply more evidence that he truly doesn’t get it, and is in no way ready for prime time. Hillary’s attack machine must be licking their chops. Obama is making it easy for them. But, I suspect we haven’t heard the last word yet from PM Howard.

Which branch of the service did Hillary, Obama or the Breck girl serve in? Was it at least the guard? I already know the answer to this one.

Excellent post devolve!!

It does not matter where he was born, his mother is a U.S. Citizen, so he is too, by birth.

Try a different tactic, this one will only make Freepers look like idiots.

[Ladysmith]

I thought the same. One guess how he'll treat our enemies...

Everything you think you know about Obama is wrong

[wodinoneeye]

"Love the way they pull a number out of their ass and our supposed "Journalists" merely regugitate it without question.. We have spent no where near $400 billion in Iraq. For $400 billion you could buy the whole bleeding country off. Love the way they take every dollar sent anywhere even remotely tied to the WOT and blame it on Iraq.

"

Alot of that money went to rebuilt our military after 8 years of Clinton deployments eroding the infrastructure and little funding to compensate.

Sarge, You speak wisely.

Obama is an African-American who has not shared the black American experience.

I think nobody has called out Osmara Barek on calling PM HOward Chickenhawk that really annoyed me

[SusaninOhio]

Interesting way that Obama has of 'rebuilding our alliances' - p!ss off our staunchest ally.

I guess this is so nuanced, only a brilliant politician like Obama can begin to understant it.

[AmericaUnited]

Obama is like a male Opra... nothing more weighty and all a bunch of warm and fuzzy.

[ducks1944]

I said the night Barack Hessien Obama was elected he would be Hillary running mate.

[Liberty Valance]

lmao!

[devolve]

Did a cutout on Tavis Smiley -


O'Bama will get the full treatment from Hillary's Gestapo

All the dark shadows will be brought to light

[potlatch]

I wondered about the cutout, wondered how you did it.

[BigSkyFreeper]

So Obama is getting into shouting match with a proven longstanding ally. LOL

Obama, you're not ready for primetime bruh! LOL

[dr_who_2]

The veneer's coming off even before the debates. Hillary must be thrilled.

[BillyBoy]

Oh please. Obama will happy to produce his American birth certificate since he was born in a hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii to a Kansas mother. What your'e doing is almost as silly as the Dems trying to kick Barry Goldwater (born in "Arizona territory" rather than a U.S. state) and Dick Cheney (unofficially living in "Texas" when the Constitution says ticket must consist of candidates from seperate states) off the ticket for residency requirements.

I'd rather take a look at Obama's college records and see what we can learn about his crack cocaine use.

" ... know that more of the same is only going to attract more terrorists to Iraq and make our country less safe."

I know that more of the same is only going to attract more terrorists to Iraq where they will be killed before they have a hope of coming to the USA to do their filthy mongrel jihad acts.

[KC_Conspirator]

I was impressed by how Obama called Republicans rascists today. And he claims he is a "uniter". Such garbage!

[tiger-one]

Oh Billy Boy Oh Billy Boy

This is my point. If he refuses by blowing [no reference to his use of snow]it off, it raises a flag. It if he does produce it then it can be verified as not altered, it can be used to confirm he is a citizen of the U.S. by his parents country of birth.

Asked him to produce his college records for the use of "blow" is also a good idea.

Remember if this done before the DEM primary, the askers will be looked at as Hitlery operatives.
