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

Posted on 12/27/2008 9:18:11 AM PST by utahson

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.

Enlistments and re-enlistments are going to tank during Zeros’ reign.

They know he is commander of nothing and a poser. BO knows the majority are not loyal to him and that's why he wants his own National Security Force as large, as well equipped and as well funded as the current military. He will have to earn their respect, I doubt he can do that from what I've read on some of the military blogs.

He is not yet the CIC and until he is there is no reason to stand at attention when he enters the room.

Isn't there a Marine guard at the door to the President's helicopter? If I remember correctly, they may, as a courtesy, render a salute to the CIC even though he/she is technically a civilian. I remember during the Clinton "Presidency" (gag, if you could call it that) the guards chose not to salute the {expletive} who was quoted as having said he "loathed the military."

I think you've got that backwards. Because he's the CIC, the Marine protocol/tradition is to initiate the salute. The president then has the option of returning the salute if he chooses to.

This will eat zero's innards.

His ego is incapable of rejection ... certainly the rejection by his military.

You hit the nail on the head!! He can't make them like him, and most of them never will. That's why he wants his own, then defund the military we have now. Clearly his goal.

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.

If you want to reference info on another site, the least you could do would be to provide a link to the fascinating information.

"Piece of Manure"

That's close enough.

Since he's embraced hussein, I had to come up with something else to refer to him by, so POS in Chief it is.

"He is not yet the CIC and until he is there is no reason to stand at attention when he enters the room."

Obammy lives in a dream world. He really expected to get some respect from our military while he holds the nation hostage, theatening a firestorm unless he is acknowledged as the president -- refusing to respect the constitution and the Citizens of our country by not showing his qualifcations according to the law of the land?

He might get it from some -- those fearful minions who are in on the plot and are promised to share in the looting.

Strictly speaking, all he is right now is an unemployed street agitator pretending to be President. They should have just given him a hot meal, some donated clothes, and sent him on his way.

" That's why he wants his own, then defund the military we have now. Clearly his goal."

Perhaps then we will see the fifth column form up from the staging area.

With that and we whom are armed ... Washington may cease to be the capitol.

Speakin' of which ... should we ever get to a point where Washington D.C. ceases to be relevent ... where might our Capitol be situated?

Being a Keystoner, my vote is for ...



Texas.
