OBAMA'S AFGHANISTAN SPEECH AT WEST POINT: POMPOUS, POLITICAL, AND PATHETIC
THE FREEDOM POST ^ | December 1, 2009 | Matthew Burke

Posted on 12/01/2009 7:40:05 PM PST by TheFreedomPoster

President Barack Obama's speech Tuesday night at West Point was loose with the facts, to put it generously. It's disgraceful that the "Commander-in-Chief" would use this important address before our Cadets of West Point to perform his usual deception, omission, blame, lack of responsibilty, and self-promotion.

It was treason. Why? Because Obama badmouthed the good faith effort of prior administrations. For a man in his office to do so is high treason.

Bad mouthing is childish and is getting old. Why even run for president if one can’t stand the heat? Every new administratiton has had to contend with policies and problems left by the previous one. To date, I can’t think of another elected president who has complained so much as obozo. It’s undignified, tasteless and classless. That just about sums up his personality.

Actually, to make a state speech as President and Commander in Chief where one disowns and denigrates the good faith policies of prior administrations is treason. Far beyond childish and undignifie4d.

Pardon me for interjecting...

I don't think that Brett66 was threatening you, but merely commenting from observation of your posting history; it appears that you have a problem with defending your position using logic and reasoned argument. Rather, you cuss people out and insult them. Repeatedly.

Moderators don't like that.

That was Brett66's point, I believe.

Well put, but I think any kind of explanation is wasted on this one. LOL.

We’re just a bunch of racists, see?
