Count the number of times he uses the word “I” in the speech.
Obama needs to play some Walmart parking lots first and get the speech down first...teleprompters would look bad at Ground Zero
If he keeps making this all about how great it was that HE planned and executed this operation there is going to be a massive backlash.
The folks who are mostly likely to support his decision to go ahead with this operation are also the mostly likely to know that it’s a very small man that tries to grab credit for himself rather than deflecting it and acknowledging who really did the heavy lifting.
History is not kind to the self-congratulating.
Not smart.
Obama is overplaying this. People can see through what he is doing.
Wonder if Michelle will be with him?
She never goes there. Before the 2008 election on the 9/11 Memorial Service, she stayed home and attended a fundraiser north of Indy.
The Obama’s actually share Rev Wright’s view that 9/11 was “America’s chickens coming home ...to Rooost!”
I have no respect for either Obama showing up at Ground Zero. If he didn’t need to get re-elected, he would not be going to Ground Zero, well, unless the mega mosque was done being constructed.
“President Obama’s Thursday visit to Ground Zero, his first since taking office”
Air Force 1 buzzed it with a low fly-by. Does that count?
Greek columns. I think he needs Greek columns.
You can accomplish great things - if you are not interested in taking credit for yourself
Self aggrandizement, the hallmark of Obama is not becoming, nor are his claims true
From the article:
“Having Bush there would have helped Obama show himself, in the words of one Democratic strategist turned TV host, as “master and commander.” But Obama, who likes the chance to makes high-stakes speeches, will be swinging for the rhetorical fences anyway.”
Good grief....this is sickening. Glad Bush saw straight through the ruse. Obama as ‘master and commander’?
ROTFLOL!!
And I hope Giuliani declines, also. I dare the Marxist to ask Col Lakin.
The separation of Americans and him should be wide and made visible. He’s not one of us and may no one be conned into submitting to PC.
Worse than pathetic.
Didn’t the libs whine that Republicans were using Ground Zero for political gain?
With each passing day, I despise them more and more and this guy, our president, most of all.
Let Rudy show up and use his speech to thank Bush, Cheney, et al for having the vision to set up gitmo, enhanced interrogation and other measures and the guts to keep them going in the face of the left’s “J’accuse” orgy (of which dear leader was a head cheerleader).
Here’s hoping Bambi goes all out!
Ticker tape parade for himself, Greek columns, crown of laurels, the works!
And may he cap it all off with a droning, condescending, hectoring bore-fest of a speech saying that now is the moment for us all to put aside our individual, petty personal agendas and unite as one behind the sweeping, righteous wisdom that is Obama’s personal agenda, whatever that is.
The horrid things Obama said campaigning and since- even his admin threatening to prosecute our C.I.A. agents..then wants Bush who protected our forces to stand with him...
Obama’s hypocrisy is thick.
Gallup: 89% of Americans Credit Military for Finding, Killing Bin Laden—35% Credit Obama
Will the white house control who gets into the crowd? If not, zero runs the risk of being booed or heckled. I hope that happens.
Delusional. Everyone knows he's a pu$$y.
Obama appetitie for self-promotion insatiable and disgusting.
