Vanity/Question: Did Obama serve any time in the (U. S.) armed forces?

Posted on 05/09/2008 6:51:09 AM PDT by Mach9

Several days ago, on one of the Fox News nonprimes (possibly the Kelly/Hemmer 5:00 election show), a brand new Obama-declared super-delegate (sorry, I didn't get her name or state!) announced in answer to a question about BO's elitism that he could hardly be considered elite because he went through Columbia & Harvard on the G. I. Bill. This wasn't challenged. I've found no reference to BO's military service anywhere, nor can I imagine how the G. I. Bill could have helped him otherwise.

This dude is chortling through his anal orifice. Obama is a few years younger than myself. I am born 1958 and was the first group that didn’t even have to register for the draft (1976). Obama was in school—far far far away from the military.

Maybe G. I. represent Mr. Pell’s first two initials?

No he did not, but these acolytes deliberately make these wild statements with the knowledge and anticipation that some gullible people will believe them.

More accurate, he went through Columbia and Harvard on the Affirmative Action legislation; got a little affirmative action help from the Law School administration to get on the Law Review and become editor also.

I served in the US Army Infantry from 83-87 and participated in the Army College Fund, it wasn't called the GI Bill back then.

Hussein, an loyal American?

Don’t see any evidence of it.

Without doubt. Can’t help thinking that this “super delegate” needs a very public reprimand for spewing such fantasies. Yeah, I know . . .

No, the idea’s just ludicrous. (Love your tagline—irony dictates Jeb.)

Did Obama’s *father* serve in the military?

I’m vague on this, but under some circumstances can children of veterans get educational benefits as well?
