I realize that people are pleased that our military people can see through this empty suit but I cringe at the idea of our military becoming politicized. There is no quicker way to become a third world failed state.

This has been out there for a while. I was proud as hell at the respectfull/disrespectful action of the Marines. Did you notice after mugabe spoke, the flag officers were all clapping, kind of like when stalin would speak, the first one to stop clapping would go missing shortly after. The Americans in uniform know who is watching their backs and who is not.

I remember the libtards getting all full of themselves after one Bush appearance where it appeared as though a female soldier refused to make room for him on the stage (she didn’t have room to move over).

Even the CNN guy said “tepid response”.
Was the music for real in the CNN coverage or did the maker of the video add it?
OMG the music was so......who does barry think he is king? Oh wait answered my own question.

Bush said that he didn't want "Hail to the Chief" played for his entrances.
I think it was Nixon who had revived it after years of disuse.

I expect a military coup when Barry fails this country and military and votes present on the difficult decisions ahead.

Kelly,
I think it’s probably pretty much the same Corps. The key is the different CIC’s. A fairly good one vs. the worst in our history.

Anyone remember Bush's Thanksgiving visit to Iraq?
The troops were told to expect a high-ranking official from the administration for dinner. They didn't know it was him until "Hail to the Chief" starting playing, and then all hell broke loose.

Hail to the Chief sounds korny and hollow whenever Obama shows up. And you can just hear Obama demanding that it be played so’s everyone knows he’s the President.

Ouch!
Smack down!
Can you believe they played ‘Hail to the Chief’ as Obama approached the platform? I’m sure his people required them to do it.
There are some places where Obama will never get respect. In the presence of Marines and in my home are two of them.

My mom’s cousin sat directly next to Bush at the Thanksgiving Dinner in Iraq.
The story is incredible.
