That Marine needs more leather on that neck :P

We are wondering if he is deliberately leaving our soldiers to die. His aims might be to tear the hearts out of patriotic Americans, to cause pain and misery in the families he despises, and to create diversion from his headlong charge to socialism. The demoralization of the military is an extra added benefit.

Gives me a massive case of the creeps to see Obambi saluting.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

take a look at this brave soldier...it will do your heart good..this is what it's all about!.warning, your screen will go blurry

You're weren't kidding. It's still blurry.

God bless this amazing young man and all of our troops. Thank you for sharing that.

Even after the go ahead to send troops - it takes 6 months to a year to get them there -

his heart is with the Taliban

This is what happens when you elect a community organizer for CIC.

I was critical for GWB’s mishandling of Iraq, but this child in the WH is outdoing both Bush and LBJ.

Pondering??? Pondering??? give the generals what they need or come home

[swheats]

IT WORKS! thank you.

He sure has spend a lot more than 20 hours trying to terrify America into embracing his lousy health reform bill...he has, also, spend more than 20 hours fund raising & campaigning...he has spend more than 20 hours partying every Wednesday at the WH on our dime...and he has, also, probably spend more than 20 hours going on TV shows, letterman, 60 Minutes, Sunday Talk shows, CNN, etc., etc...

Just WOW!

[444Flyer]

LOL.

Never saw a better jaw though.

[444Flyer]

Now it would be an honor to meet that man.

[smedley64]

I totally agree. Could you imagine being one of our troops in Afghanistan hearing that their illustrious CIC has spent a whole TWENTY hours(if that is to be believed) out of the last 10 months, pondering their fate?

Couldn't they have at least lied about the amount of time? They lie about everything else, why make it so apparent that they don't give a crap about the soldiers dying over there?

I loathe you Obama. You truly are a worthless POS. A-hole.

Close to 20 hours means about 16.
He spends more time each month attending the weekly concerts held each Wednesday at the White House.
Throw in the golf games, basketball games, date nights, awards ceremonies, apology speaches, campaining. Its a wonder he has 16 hours a month left to do anything.

[CitizenM]

How can they be certain it is even THAT much? Does he punch a time clock every time he thinks of Afghanastan? Then punch a time clock every time he thinks about Rush Limbaugh or FOX news. I bet he has spent more time on the latter "pondering," than on the war.

A president is supposed to be decisive, able to make quick, accurate decisions. Not to "ponder" for 20 hrs. Good grief, what a sorry soul he is. He is totally lost in space. The space behind that desk in the Oval Office.

[Jet Jaguar]

BTTT

[R0CK3T]

Zero has spent less than the amount of “time” W would have spent in a week.

Wow, so we are supposed to bow down and kiss his royal azz because he spent 20 whole hours of his entire effing life on Afghanistan?

If I were one of those families whose son was lost in this conflict on his watch I would be LIVID.

They give ALL, the last drop of their being FOREVER!

And this idiot thinks he’s going above and beyond the call of duty with a whole 20 M’Fng HOURS?!!!!!!

This thoroughly disgusts me.

[Carley]

20 hours since March.

And of course, if we spend ‘thinking’ time it’s a lot like saved or created.

Damn this evildoer.

[Carley]

More time concerned with his buddy skip gates than on our beloved heroes.

His Bosses haven’t pulled his strings yet,,,

He just does what he’s Told...
