Obama Gives Himself a Shout Out While Addressing Troops: ‘We’ve Got Me In the House’

While addressing soldiers at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, the president started giving shout outs to different military units “in the house,” each time eliciting cheers from the crowd. But after calling out a couple of those names, he quickly turned to evoking his own: “And we’ve got me in the house.”

They cheered.

The Washington Free Beacon captured the moment:

Obama to troops: You've got me in the house

If Obama loses, I figure Michelle will spend the last two and a half months jetting around the world to all the vacation spots she wants to see...while she can do so at taxpayer expense.

“Obama should get the credit as he is the sitting president and he did give the go order.”

DID he give the go order?

How much else should we be believing from ABCCBSCNNNBCFOX/AP?

Make that:
Any troops that like this treasonous POS don’t know very much about him...and his friends.

This is a case where Obama should getting a ribbon for participating, just so he doesn’t have his feelings hurt.

What do you expect from a prima donna who `wrote’ two books about himself—and before he was 45 years old?
I put wrote in parenthesis because he didn’t actually write them. A fellow Marxist named Ayers wrote one.

True, a lot of his AD supporters seem to be the same demographic in the private sector.

Racial Demographic, single mothers, and perfumed princes looking for political leverage.

Applause under threat of Article 15.

Not at all. You don't have to applaud. You just can't be insubordinate. I'd love to know how many of them cheered without really listening, thinking he'd just said some other unit or something like that...

“...As Joe Biden told us, the raid to get Bin Laden was the most audacious military action of the last 500 years....”

The Isreali raid on Entebee was a pretty good military action. Total death toll in the raid was less than ten, IIRC. Carried out in total secrecy and succeeded.

Feel sorry for those poor guys; clearly they were FORCED to attend. As if working 16 hour days/7 days a week isn’t enough punishment! Did they have to leave their weapons outside again???

Do the troops actually like this guy?

Perhaps the Bradley Manning types.

It well may be the case that Obama had Osama taken out only as a ‘symbolic payback’ for his (bin Laden) going against the Soviets in the 80s. It did take place on commie May Day. Commies are big on symbolism, and ‘special dates’ and anniversaries. Perhaps his pal KGB Putin asked him to do it. There are also reports that the Russians trained al-qaueda #2 prior to 911 (”dead men tell no tales”?) Obama obviously has no problem with terrorists attacking the Pentagon or other US military facilities. He launched his political career in the living room of Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. His “spiritual adviser” of twenty plus years said we deserved 911: “America’s chickens...are coming home...TO ROOST”. He’s currently bending over backwards to strengthen Putin. Putin is planning a return of the Soviet Union. Obama (in the 80s) and his late “Uncle Frank” (Frank Marshall Davis) are/were diehard supporters of the communist Soviet Union.
