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.

I think your comment sums it up best: A snooze punctuated by WTF moments.

More references to diversity and multiculturalism. Stresses the need for unity yet he is the most polarizing President we have ever had.

IMHO,its only words, all he does is read the totus. He does as he is told. Very little in the way of managing upstairs,he's just a front man.

Thanks for the link, Kristinn.

He said "First, there are those who suggest that Afghanistan is another Vietnam."

Is he out of his mind? Shouldn't he have said IRAQ..NOT Afganistan?

Well, what do you think, why keep them over there if they are configugred for a war of attrition and not victory.Obama should have allocated 60,000 troops.

I also belive that we will have a war tax soon, which is one way he convinced the lefties of this continued deployment.

I wish I could say bring them home now.but he fact is that if victory will happenn in Afghanistan , it will have to come through other NATO members.

Now he is talking about cynicism.BLATHER

I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a group of military members that are so unenthused with their CIC (can’t say as blame them).

He just did- He said “I (I I I) have spent hte better part of this presidency forging new relationships with hte muslim world” or somethign equally as assinine as that- insinuating that it was the US’s fault that Muslims hated us ‘before’ but he- the great savior of the human race, has ‘forged a relationship’ with those who STILL can’t stand us- essentially he said that the reason the world hates us is because we wer4e too harsh on muslims and didn’t understand them (not that there’s much to understand about being called ‘Infidels and scum’ by the muslims)

[[What the hell does the economy have to do with Afghanistan..this speech was supposed to be about the war on terror, not about the economy]]

He’s campaignign again- His ratings have been falling liek a stone, and as a narcissist, he can’t stand it that everyone doesn’t love him unconditionally
