The president had no problem using our troops in South Korea for a photo op; the Narcissist in Chief actually acknowledged it. Only a pathological narcissist would expect soldiers serving far from home would appreciate the Commander in Chief’s need for a good photo op as the priority mission. The troops as props trick backfired during Obama’s Afghanistan speech when those few West Point cadets who managed to stay awake were photographed glowering at their commander.
Our F-22 figher planes are not acceptable as stylistic props for this president. Obama demanded a shiny new fighter plane be removed from the hangar at Elmendorf Air Force Base in Alaska. Apparently the president, who fought hard to be rid of the F-22 is still mad at them.
This recent display of pettiness must have been a real morale booster for the troops who actually fly the planes everyday.
‘”White House aides actually made them remove the F-22-said they would not allow POTUS to be pictured with the F-22 in any way, shape, or form,’ one source close to the unit relayed.”
White House officials were unable to explain why they demanded the removal of the F-22. No explanation required, we already understand that this president will miss no opportunity to undermine the morale of our troops.
I have said this before. The military will turn on this a**hole in a blink if given the chance. They took an oath to defend the constitution, not this weasel. I hope he continues to ditz the troops so that all true Americans can see him for the commie slug he is.
Obama is a product, and thus his image and brand and message are as carefully managed as possible. He is our first truly “manufactured” President. From his alleged story in his books to the great lengths he has gone to bury all parts of his past that would contradict his reinvention of himself, to every press conference, appearance, and photo op.
He and his staff spend more effort on making him look Presidential than they do on actual policy, and when they do work on policy it is boiler plate liberal agenda stuff that has no connection with reality. They are pushing their agenda items without any attempt being made to ensure that such policies will in fact achieve the goals they claim. They don’t care. The Obama Presidency is a house of cards running on all cylinders, trying to keep positive public opinion one step ahead of the failures their lack of experience and responsibility are sure to entail.
