I could not find any pictures of Obama visiting the troops on the Army website.
They do however have a great pic of Robert E. Lee

I will add this brave soldier to my prayer list.
I just received the same information as an e-mail yesterday, and forwarded it to my retired Navy buddies.
Your name suggests you’re a vet, so you should know that the UCMJ has restrictions on political activity, especially where speaking ill of the Commander in Chief is concerned. I don’t know whether this LT crossed the line or not, but he is most assuredly on thin ice. We don’t need political soldiers, that sort of thing happens in Banana Republics, it should not happen here. I work with active duty soldiers every day, they have to be very guarded in their comments. Some of them clearly don’t like Obama, but there were also those who didn’t like President Bush and (especially) Don Rumsfeld, but kept it to themselves like the professionals they are.
That is NOT to say that those who go through officer training school after graduating from a non-military affiliated college are less legitimate in their commission. But it does point to the fact that the non-military affiliated schools produce more “protest” types who are more likely to jump on bandwagons for notoriety.
I will give this man the benefit of the doubt, however.
Moreover, his career as a patriot could very well be just as important to him as his career in the military, and so on this basis, he may be willing to take greater risks with his career.
I am in full agreement that Mr. Obama must give greater proof of his natural-born citizenship status, and I back these law suits that carry this purpose.
I question the legitimacy of Mr. Obama on much more than that. I believe he has already failed in his oath to uphold and defend the Constitution for the united States, as have many in Congress.
Thus I pray that the scrutiny over his status will continue in the courts as well as in public opinion.
It isn’t just officers. Some of us NCO’s feel the same way.
By speaking out, becoming a "political soldier" this man's career is over. He could even wind up in a Federal Pen. If that be his course of action, he and he alone is accountable.
Banana Republic??, this Constitutional Republic is on it's way in that direction. Sliding downhill on that sled known as socialism.
The Constitution of the United States spells out qualifications for the office of president.
The three branches of our federal government have taken no action.
The political parties, the media, talk radio, the various states, the electoral college have taken no action.
Who are the cowards, Who are the patriots, Who has the standing ?
Why would a CIC spend almost 1 million dollars in attorney fees to hide information about himself?
What part of "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic" don't you understand?
He’s got balls, I’ll give him that.
“This officer needs to be very careful.His career could be in jeopardy.”
I think he is a 42 year old Lt., so I don’t think his career is formost in his mind.
This guy has “guts”, good on him!
I completely agree with your statement and it disgusts me to no end.
Rush, some time ago, brought it up ever so briefly, with regards to the first Supreme Court Conference. He said that he was reluctant to mention it because it would then give the allegations legitimacy.
They are either scared of what might happen if the general public learns of the massive fraud perpetrated on them, or they think we’re all crazy conspiracy theorists.
We are all soldiers now. Nice way to turn the BS socialist sentence to good.
Do you think Obama ever set foot on a military base before becoming President? The closest he has every come to the military is the Weathermen, and possibly, the Taliban or Al Qaeda. The closest he has come to understanding the dynamics of a team was second string on the basketball team at the most exclusive prep school in Hawaii. Were I still in the Army, I would get out as quickly as possible to be close to my familiy in anticipation of the dangers Obama is abetting. These officers are doing what they swore to do, defend and protect the Constitution. Our legislative and judical branches have been breached, and the constitution is being ignored. Many in the military know this, and this Lieutenant is trying one more time to see if our laws have any meaning - whether there is some legal authority as yet uncompromised who may require discovery. Unfortunately, we know Obama will appeal until it gets to the final court of appeal, which may fail us again. But at least the truth will have been exposed. I think we all fear what alternatives remain. So to me, this officer is a hero
Raised w-4 t0 15 today. His squatting in white house is illigitimate.
All 0 has to do is produce his original birth certificate. Everybody will then see that he was indeed born in Hawaii, not Kenya. But he won’t, not because he’s actually a Kenyan, but because satisfying the concerns of the “little people” is “beneath him.”
When the leadership is basically law-abiding, this officer’s actions would be ludicrious. However, when nearly all of the “leaders” of the United States of America, up to and including the POTUS, illegally and openly undermine our very Republic......well, this type of rebellion is the only avenue left, short of armed-uprising.
We can’t turn to public officials (corrupt, mostly liberals); judges (ditto); law-makers (double-ditto), etc.
This is more the reason I believe the pseudo-POTUS wants a Black Panther-like civilian “army”, such as he was talking about early-on. He knows the military will side with “we the people” if/when he gets too froggy.
I feel sorry for that officer, and he darn sure is sticking his neck out on the line for his beliefs. He also has “a set” which is more than the nancy-boys inside the beltway have.
Well I think this officer has cajones of steel. I applaud him. He’s just upholding the constitution which states that the president shall be a natural born citizen of the USA. I have to prove I’m a citizen to get a crap temp job, but Obama gets a pass? In case you didn’t notice, Obama isn’t politics as usual.
I could not find any pictures of Obama visiting the troops on the Army website.
They do however have a great pic of Robert E. Lee
What? trouble in the ranks?
