Obama Get’s Lukewarm Reception at Marine Base (No Cheering and clapping, just SILENCE)
Macsmind ^ | 12-26-08 | Macranger

President-elect Obama stopped by the Marine Corps base in Hawaii Kaneche Bay where servicemen and -women were eating Christmas dinner in Kailua Thursday evening. 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.

I guess the servicepeople understand he has pledged to make them less safe in the face of danger by de-funding programs that could save their lives in favor of windmills, food stamps and free educations for illegal aliens.

This should really get the nutroots in an uproar. Remember when Kerry ate alone in Iraq and they went wild trying to compare photos of tablecloths and flags on walls to somehow show the photos were fake etc etc?

"No wonder our brave men and women in uniform have cool receptions for a guy that wants a rival home army to shoot at the very troops he now has to lead."

They will shoot at the troops he is leading, and will imprison and shoot at the family members of the troops.

If you REALLY want to get an idea of how hate-filled the left is, check out the thread on this over at KOS, 670+ responses, and most of them advocate leaving Israel to it’s fate, while DEMANDING that Obama cut them off from the world.

There seems to be plenty of those people, doesn’t there?

I’m still in a daze; I can’t believe the American people did this to themselves - electing an empty con-man in a time of crisis.

Well, a time of crisis to the losers simply menas free goodies and damn where the money will come from.

A good number of those morons think the government can literally "create" money.

Crisis? What crisis?

I'm sure these guys remembered Obama's famous quote about how he wanted to join the military but, gosh darn it, there was no one for him to fight.

“And I actually always thought of the military as an ennobling and, you know, honorable option. But keep in mind that I graduated in 1979. The Vietnam War had come to an end. We weren't engaged in an active military conflict at that point. And so, it's not an option that I ever decided to pursue.”

After the screaming fans and constant adulation, I’ll bet the presumptive POS in Chief found himself just seething from the lack of fawning attention.

If he can successfully alienate enough members of the military, there might be Hope for a Change after all...

I can’t believe the American people did this to themselves - electing an empty con-man in a time of crisis.

I read a report the day after the election on how people who commute to work (by train or bus) were looking around and saw people staring off into space, like in total disbelief or something on what they did last night.

Voting for Obama was the equivalent of getting drunk and taking home a girl only to wake up to something far worse.

I would like to know how this civilian force will be viewed constitutionally. Especially if the civilian force is made up of ILLEGAL ALIENS! they have no rights under our Constitution and have no legal bonds to it.

Just wait until our Marines get a load of what Zero and the liberals have in mind for them.

I am still proud that back in the ‘90s the Marines (who had a strong Commandant then) told the Clinton administration to go play in the street when Clinton’s feminist imps tried to impose co-ed boot camp on them.

It will be instructive to see how meddlesome Zero’s administration will be. I have little doubt that his administration will level an attack on military culture by again allowing impish liberals in the White House basement to use the military as a social-engineering petri dish. Liberals can’t resist attacking traditional America, and nothing says “traditional America” like the US military.

First up: Open homos and “sensitivity training” for all troops.
