Same here. Words can’t express my visceral hate for Obama.

If nothing else, we need a congressional investigation.

This message by the communist leader of the US was preceded by an effusive congratulatory message to the Taliban.

“Obama? Sorrow for the troops?”

Hey barry, save it, you worthless lying POS. We don’t need any blathering from your phony ilk. Go back and party with your rappers, where you belong. We will give our fallen brothers the respect they deserve.

I’m just so disgusted with our American boys dying for these savages- and all the money going down Muslim sh*tholes while Americans suffer.

"Yes, and extra cheese. Do I get a free 2 liter of coke with that? Okay, fine..."

Can you tell from this picture that it's election season? he doesn't give an Obama about the military.

As someone who doesn’t go in for conspiracy theories, I can only hope that this is some sort of fabrication as a way to shuffle these members into an identity protection program.

And then I realize Obama couldn’t care less.

RIP. This doesn't bode well for those they were dispatched to rescue.

Will Obama rethink is Afghanistan drawdown which his commanders said was not recommended?

Of course, I believed after 9/11 that we should go in and seek out those responsible, but how long does this go on?
Will it ever end?
How many American troops have to die for these ignorant savages? How many more billions do we pour down Muslim rat holes?
What have we accomplished?
Enough is enough!

“White House photo of President Obama learning about the helicopter crash in Afghanistan that claimed 31 U.S. lives, including over 20 members of SEAL Team 6, the same unit that killed Osama bin Laden. None of the members who took part in the bin Laden raid itself are believed to be among the dead. “

What is your source for this photo? I haven’t been able to find an “official” source.

Obama was at Camp David and WH photographers caught the moment he received the call?

Of course we know Obama is capable to stoop low enough to get a photo-op of him receiving the news. My question is: Was this a photo-op re-enactment?

He is equally capable of stooping that low as well.

“My thoughts and prayers go out to the families and loved ones of the Americans who were lost earlier today in Afghanistan,” Obama said in a statement. “Their deaths are a reminder of the extraordinary sacrifices made by the men and women of our military and their families, including all who have served in Afghanistan.”

Obama said their deaths would be not be in vain.

“We will draw inspiration from their lives, and continue the work of securing our country and standing up for the values that they embodied,” he said.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Could his response have been any more tepid?

His only concept of sacrifice is when other people bend to his will. His only concept of war is sending out his union thugs to do his bidding against the Tea Party Americans who want to maintain our legitimate Constitutional government and fiscal accountability from our public SERVANTS.

A rare faux pas. Clinton’s timing was off.

If the Taliban brought this helicopter of Seals down, it deserves a vicious response. You can be certain, even if Obama gets irrefutable intelligence, he will make no response until he polls enough focus groups to get a wind test to see if he needs to do anything at all.

Until then, Obama will speak in the editorial we...“We will draw inspiration from their lives...”

Obama does not have a minute to lose. He should resign and move to a country with which we do not have an extradition treaty.
