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.

My son had a soccer game tonight and we stopped at a sports bar for a bite after the game. My husband and son arrived before me and when I got there all the TV’s were tuned to a sporting event. I said “thank goodness no Obama” and they told me it had come on but was promptly changed!

I don’t know if it was because it didn’t fit the sports theme or whether they knew it would cause patrons to lose their appetites but either way I’m glad it wasn’t on!

O’Reilly was annoying with his constant reference to Obama being an ‘academic.’ He really fell in love with that phrase.

Obama is not an academic. If he were, why hide all his grades and papers?

"Preemption is a violation of international law." "Peace in our time" - Neville Chamberlain, assuring the British public after a conference with Hitler. Or Barack Obama telling us he can talk to the Islamic terrorists. Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Listen, you little commie, the UN has no authority over the U.S. We were in a state of war with Iraq, had a cease fire agreement and Iraq broke it. That's more than enough reason to resume action in that war and we don't need permission from anyone to act in our own defense.

Is history repeating itself?

Could be, but not without the news media and thus far, with only a few missteps, it takes its marching orders from the WH.

The photos! I watched the cadets expressions during the speech and those three photos are good representations.

Thank you, Starwise!

Tell that to my relatives who have been serving there
since the start of the war, the majority being Marine officers.
Also another relative who is fluent in Russian and Arabic
who spends time in Iraq, Afghn. and Gitmo.

Being a smart ass to overcompensate your lack of knowledge
doesn’t become you

This could be part of the problem with the poster you are responding to.

How did they break the cease fire? Do you mean that 10 years after the war when we violated airspace that we took 7 years after the war— they violated the cease fire? Give me a break. You just remember this-— what is good for the goose is real good for that gander.

I might add, this speech was unpresidented.
