Obama Visits Marine Corps Base for Christmas
ABC ^ | December 26 | Jake Tapper

Posted on 12/26/2008 7:27:02 AM PST by PghBaldy

...As Obama entered the room it was absent of the regular fanfare of cheering and clapping. The diners were polite; staying seated at their respective tables and waited for the President-elect to come to them to stand up...

LOL. Well, it was under “President visits Marine base” on Google. What do I know about uniforms? It’s the same response whether army or MARINES.

Oh Gato, thank you for posting those pictures of Sistah. Oh my, how I still miss her, and will always do so. She is in my heart to stay.

Has someone taken the time to teach Obama the proper way to salute?

So far, he thinks he's supposed to scratch his right eyebrow with his extended middle finger while smirking.

Oh Gato, thank you for posting those pictures of Sistah.

Think nothing of it. Mention Lady Marines, and she comes immediately to mind. For me, she is the canonical Lady Marine.

It's just too bad the Marines didn't make full use of them in those days. I imagine she'd have looked right fine with an M-1 Carbine in her hands and a 1911A1 on her hip. :)

You wouldn't happen to have a link to a photo of her in uniform would you?

It took me a while to find it. I knew I had it some place. Also, for future reference, it’s on the Freeper Memorial page. I have several of her on my personal file, but I’m too dumb to know how to get them posted here.

Big difference between Jews, Mormons, and Muslims. Or people who pretend to be Christian but attend a racist hate-filled “church” pastored by a (former) NOI member.

A sincere whatever is better than an imposter.

Obama is an amoeba that becomes whatever shape that is expedient at the time.

President Bush is an Oak Tree.

In the military, the higher ranking officers serve the troops on holidays

Oh I know, having been an Air Force Officer, one of whose "additional duties" was to eat at the mess hall when serving as a "duty officer" to be sure that the contractors (and the mess sergeants) were not serving the troops slop. Now I work on an Army post, and see that sort of thing all the time.

He should have eaten his meal there with them at the very least.

Yes he should have. What a Maroon!

But I think this will be typical of how he treats the military, they'll get lip service, while he cuts their budgets and then their numbers, which are already pretty thin.

That is true. I will hope he changes his apparent/probable view of the military (and the nation) once he gets the reins of power...

Ya the one that supports abortion, gay marriage, and removing Christ from the public square etc etc. Not to mention all the other evils that the Democrat Supreme court decides to do.

Oh ya, they will tell you they do not support gay marriage, but voting democrat is a vote for “if it feels good do it”

Don't mind me, I am just venting, you see the term “Christian Democrat” as far as I am concerned is a oxymoron. They can wave their arms in the air and say Praise Jesus, but if they are voting democrat they are spitting on God/Christ.

Anybody, I repeat ANYBODY that supports abortion OR ones right to it, is not a Christian...PERIOD.. if the Spirit of Christ dwelled in them, they would be weeping for the unborn
