Our new defense will be using our hands as guns.....let me demonstrate..... "bang bang"

My husband said he saw him reach past white Marines with their hands outstretched to shake a black Marine’s hand instead. Anyone else see this?

Perfect photo for The One (piss be upon him) - out of focus.

[Right Cal Gal]

Hmm....I’m not seeing a whole lot of smiles among the troops, do you?

He’s not fit to be on a military base.

Especially a Marine base, my Dad would be rolling over in his grave, if he had one.

My son is a Marine at Lejeune, and he was one of approx 35 selected to meet and have a photo-op with Obama. I suggested a few questions and comments he could use, but I think his chain of command would frown on them.

Considering this party just proposed cutting their budget by 10%, Obama obviously doesn’t see much use in our military, other than as a martial backdrop for his speeches.

[Old Sarge]

Not for The One (his name be pissed).

[skeeter]

Gad, he looks taken by all the respect being shown him, doesn’t he.

[No Surrender No Retreat]

Maybe Osammie did this because the blud got’s sum skin in da game.(satire)

Osammie’s freudian racist slip-up on display, becasue he can only see black. Maybe to Osammie it is black by BLT-BET demand.

I see some pretty somber pissed off looking faces out there. The only smiling, clamoring for handshake faces I see are black........

Tell me that that blacks' votes weren't racially motivated. This man called the collective 'them' killers, night-intruders of little children, about every bad thing you'd think a soldier 'could' do. Most of the people in that audience know that and reflect it in their disposition. The rest, guess who?, see only the 'black'.

[scottdeus12]

Anyone ever noticed when he ‘salutes’ he never looks at the soldiers...always at the cameras.....

THAT does not look like a bunch of happy Marines behind. Compare him entering, they are just standing there. Check out Bush photos of him coming in and how the troops are acting.
