The President's Speech: Being a leader is about more than reading off a teleprompter
The Washington Times ^ | 3/28/11 | Staff

Posted on 03/28/2011 6:16:25 PM PDT by Nachum

When King George VI gave his Sept. 3, 1939, war message to the people of the British Empire, it was a time of great moment. It was a “grave hour,” he began, “perhaps the most fateful in our history.” The king said that “for the second time in the lives of most of us, we are at war.” That, however, was back when war was war.

I’m taking a peek over at the DUmmies. It’s pretty, darned humerous. LOL!

It takes a community organizer to start a kinetic military activity.

WOT = ‘overseas contingency operation’
military strike = ‘kinetic military activity’

twisting all up in a pretzel, to AVOID saying words like:

war, defense

‘n’ stuff.

Instead of the “look to the left and look to the right,” he looked the viewers in the eye tonight.

kinetic action, police action, peacekeeping. All it means is that we aren’t allowed to win.

Boehner, Daniels, Cantor et al. You are politically dead to me.

You have done absolutely nothing since January but do head fakes.

I am wondering why the hell we need you anymore.

You have ZERO opposition to this administration and are totally and completely worthless.

Ditto that. Obama is a dangerous, dangerous man. We had Tea Party rallies all across the country. We had enormous elections victories in November ...

And the GOP?

... well, they're not sure if they want to expend precious political capital by actually opposing this guy.

If I vote third party, I will not win. But I'm not likely to win with the GOP either.

They are saying that Trump stupid, i don’t think they realize what he is doing yet about showing a short form birth certificate. They are really dumb not to know what Trump is doing.

The Republican nominee could run that as his or her only campaign ad in 2012 and win in a landslide.

The constitutionality of Zero’s actions concerning Libya, that he sounds just like Bush.

LOL!

Dennis K. is not being supported and they’re calling him a kook.

These guys are acting like whinny little girls.

Trust me. Barry ain’t that intellectually focused nor does he have sufficient horsepower in the thing that looks like a head upon his shoulders.

How hard can it be to push this guy around? He doesn’t have the power of the purse.

Thanks. I bet the Mods are getting a work out. The ant farm is probably in high dudgeon.
