Check your Freepmail. Lol.
Yes, the faces show the feelings.
Notice the only one frowning in that last pic is the black dude?
Fabulous!
Thank you so much!
God bless this extraordinary Commander In Chief, and God bless our awesome military, whose protection we pray for more than ever.
Fantastic, pot!! Saved ......... ;)
Egggs-actly!!
I knew you would like that comparison! Thanks.
He LOVES the troops and they know that!
Zero does not.
Thanks for the ping and the good ole days.
What a “weenie” salute as Zero gets off the chopper! Yeesh!
I wonder how much they had to pay the guys to go in there
with that doof! LOL!
Look at the fear in his eyes, and on his face.
Oh, STARWISE, thanks.
I-ambush...Please thank your son for his service for us and thank you for raising a fine young man!
Hey chieftain, another Marine parent!
BTW, what a crowd! they are there because they had to be, they sure don’t look like the military that was thrilled to see Bush and knew he really was so proud of them and loved them all!
Boy did you nail it.
The Marines were stone-faced until he promised them more pay. Then, “Semper Fi and Hoo-yah” from Narcissus the Great. Don’t you have to be a Marine to get away with using their slogans? 0 bopped in to Hail to the Chief. For all the criticism of his humble predecessor, 0 sure is into all the trappings of his office.
Lol, apparently you have to be a Marine to NOT be a soldier - as I've been informed. I read an that Zero didn't come out while they played The Star Spangled Banner but waited for Hail To The Chief.
I saw this on TV in New Zealand and was stunned when O came out right after the singing of the National Anthem. I thought that maybe he was very late or something. Did any former president ever skip the National Anthem?
O makes a condescending, sanctimonious expression with his mouth at the end of every sentence. How can his fans not see this? Maybe he doesn't do it when he talking to a friendly audience, which this definitely was not.
He said something about the extraordinary welcome he got. That was written in the speech because there had been clapping by the dignitaries behind him but not by the troops when he came in. It was startling, both the quiet and then O's inability to change the speech to reflect what had happened. I guess he didn't care what the troops thought, but only how the transcript and audio of the speech would sound to posterity. Clapping can always be dubbed in a la HRC at Madison Square Garden after nine eleven.
Hey, hey, hey, I thought of that first!!!
