Live Thread: Barack Obama Afghan Speech 8 p.m. EST - "Hello I Must Be Going"
Tuesday, December 1, 2009 | Kristinn

Live from New York...it's Barack Obama!

On the banks of the Hudson River at West Point, Obama will give his military strategy for Afghanistan, based on the tactical genius of Capt. Spaulding, aka Groucho Marx:

Hello, I Must Be Going

Oh dear, he is coming, At last he's here.

(Spaulding) Hello, I must be going, I cannot stay, I came to say, I must be going. I'm glad I came, but just the same I must be going. La La.

(Mrs. Rittenhouse) For my sake you must stay. If you should go away, You'd spoil this party I am throwing.

(Spaulding) I'll stay a week or two, I'll stay the summer thru, But I am telling you, I must be going.

(All) Before you go, Will you oblige us, And tell us of your deeds so glowing?

(Spaulding) I'll do anything you say, In fact I'll even stay!

(All) Good!

(Spaulding) But I must be going.

In all seriousness, may God bless and protect our troops and comfort their families. And may He bring wisdom and true love of America to the heart of Barack Obama. Oh, and may He smite our enemies real good. Amen.

I can’t believe Obama is screwing over Charlie Brown. What the hell did Charlie Brown ever to do him

Michael Savage just had a call from a guy whose son was thinking about enlisting. The son talked with a Marine recruited, but will delay making any decision.

The reason: The son didn’t like the new rules of engagement imposed on the military.

I would bet that many potential recruits are more apprehensive of joining due to the ROE.

I’m looking at a TV guide list on the net - ABC & NBC blocked out the whole hour. CBS & FOX have a half hour.

Looks like PBS isn’t cutting into their lineup for this.
Running a repeat Nova instead.

CBS is bumping it to 30 minutes later. It is a rerun, however. NCIS:LA is removed from the evening viewing.

all liberals are globalist “nation builders”. Bush was. They want to take your money and your kids lives and create one world government and destroy our borders and our sovereignty in the name of a contrived boogie man. They must be denied their goal with fierce nationalism and America first resistance. Obama now has blood on his hands.

This announcement should come from behind the desk in the Oval Office..but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO that would not cost in excess of 100K for fuel alone and let's not forget, he needs those cadets for props!
Glad the forces are going to get the additional support they need. But with the announcement of withdrawal time frame...all the terrorists need do now is sit tight and wait this out..

Speaking of which...Congresswoman Carol Che-Porter (Communist-NH) has already hit the airwaves expressing her disgust with Zero sending troops to Afghanistan. She might as well let it rip; since most feel she doesn't have a prayer of being re-elected next year.

Both things I’d enjoy watching, NCIS and the Charlie Brown Christmas show.

Thanks Commie

TVGuide.com (for my cable) is showing it at 7:30 CT. It probably depends on whether Obama's speech runs longer than 30 minutes.
