Obama Joins Virtual Troop Town Hall (*urp*)
Government Video ^ | 9/1/2009

Posted on 09/01/2009 1:31:41 PM PDT by markomalley

The Pentagon, the Department of Homeland Security and other big agencies are already soliciting comment from the public in new online venues. Now the President is about to enter a virtual “Troop Town Hall."



As Obama explains in a video posted at townhall.militaryonesource.com, troops can submit questions online and then vote on them. Questions will be answered later by Obama or Defense Secretary Robert Gates.



“And I promise not to give all the hard ones to Gates,” Obama said on the video


Gates and U.S. Navy Adm. Mike Mullen announced in August they would virtually interact with troops and the public in a town hall on the new, improved Defense.gov Website (a recent Government Video Website of the Week)



DHS is also tapping the Web for public input, invited comments online in its quadrennial review.



The deadline for submission of comments is Sept. 25.

Please state step by step how my soldier buddy can submit his question about whether Obama is even eligible to give orders as CIC.
1. Make a video of his question?
2. Upload video?
3. Is said video voted on?

Mr. Obama, will you recognize that you have failed and step down ..... or will you require patriotic America’s to remove you from office?

GEEZ!...This is what pisses me off so much about the damned Leftist pigs. They think they are so damned smart, and everybody that disagrees with them as to their intellect, and self appraisals are stupid as “H”.

This crap is pure condescension. This is arrogance.

I’ll tell you I had to delete one “H” of a lot of this post as it wasn’t fit for a family site. I’m madder’n “H”. I better post if I’m going to, or I’ll have to delete again.

It’s the condescension of a self righteous, gasbag, idiot, Leftist that really sets me off. Those ah’s haven’t anything to be condescending about. THEY’RE IDIOTS!

The ultimate plant collection!

Let’s see, he’s the CIC, he’s got his head man on line with him, they know me and where I’m at, and I’m under their command, like it or not.

Sure, I’ll ask a hard one!

One of the best memories of my life: I was assistant CQ of HHB 1/75 on the night (relative to Germany) Nixon resigned.

I might even consider going back in if the Zero would promise to do the same.

What part of Town hall meeting/questions across the country don’t they understand? They’ve already hired thugs as pikers. So there will be no repercussions for the wrong questions from the military?

That's because all those will not be answered at all, or even acknowledged.
