Obama Spits on General Petraeus, Then Offers a Tissue for Cleanup

Obama manages to take more positions than a couple performing the entire Kama Sutra

Last year, Barack Obama joined MoveOn.org’s Eli Pariser in spitting on General Petraeus’ uniform and service ribbons. Obama’s solicitation and acceptance of MoveOn.org’s endorsement lent Obama’s name to MoveOn.org’s credibility, thus reinforcing the following insult.

Now, however, Obama wants to appeal to our Armed Forces and Americans who respect our Armed Forces by handing General Petraeus a tissue with which to wipe Obama’s spittle from his uniform. Per “Obama Moves on MoveOn.org,” (http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/07/obama-moves-on.html)

Almost lost in the Wes Clark haze of Monday’s patriotism speech in Independence, Mo., was this line from Sen. Barack Obama:

“All too often our politics still seems trapped in these old, threadbare arguments — a fact most evident during our recent debates about the war in Iraq, when those who opposed administration policy were tagged by some as unpatriotic, and a general providing his best counsel on how to move forward in Iraq was accused of betrayal.”

That last clause is a direct shot at the liberal group MoveOn.org, which greeted Gen. David Petraeus’ congressional testimony last fall with a full-page ad in The New York Times that asked the question: “General Petraeus or General Betray Us?”

Obama, however, is still accepting the endorsement of MoveOn.org, which shows his “support” of General Petraeus to be yet another set of empty words whose sole purpose is to sound good. Barack Obama’s and Eli Pariser’s insult to General Petraeus cannot be cleansed away with lip service. Unless Obama repudiates MoveOn.org’s endorsement while denouncing the individuals responsible for this ad, it can be cleansed only in the total ruin of Obama’s campaign and Presidential aspirations.

Obama is a charlatan and an abject marxist. All of this double talk is being done with a wink and a nod.
