Oh, I said ‘stop’ out of respect for the cadets you are insulting.

And now you are comparing them to Nazi Hitler followers, and you demand respect.

That’s the end of this conversation.

I am NOT advocating a coup or even overt defiance...

Yes, you are.

but being able to express your disagreement, respectfully, or council otherwise is a soldier’s right.

Openly, and against the CinC? The CinC who's changing out in two years? What possible good could come from such idiocy? It would make Random Internet Guy feel better? Some comfort as your newly earned commission is yanked away.

When you sign up, you do not throw your own Constitutional rights away.

How much do you want to bet on that?

That’s not how promotion boards work. I’ve sat on 5 of them. I hear you, but JAGs have no more stroke than any other career field, and there are only 2 per board max.

I digress! That’s a waste of perfectly good oranges!

Perhaps a bag full of old musty potatoes? Surely you can compromise.

I hope it was obvious he was being disrespected by the majority though.

Seems to me the 75% who didn't respond means a large percentage of our Military Cadets are better informed than those who still blindly support Obama.

You are correct his speech was an embarrassment...that is not how you speak to our Military Cadets.... But then Obama has no regard nor respect for our Military as we have witnessed many times.

Last I heard, the Obamacare “back end”, (Obamacode for “Billing”), has never been completed.

This is very surprising given Barry’s known expertise in “Leading from Behind.”

In a Transparent World, one would think that THE ONE who leads from behind would have his back end ready to go first.

Now if Obama’s back end can’t go, and he is leading from behind, who in their right mind would follow someone who looks like a constipated Ass?

Beckley is a nice term. He is such a moron but you can witness his transformation. It is lively.

25% stoop up? Unless the MSM said 25% did and there were maybe 2 people who did. (Unless they were told THEY had too applaud him.)

Yes, they were really duking it out today at The Five. Love that Jessie Watters (sp), Kimberly G. and Eric Bolling. Goody Two Shoes Perino, well, sometimes I just don't’ know about her. Beckel is feeling the pressure and reality of his “party.” But in the end he blows up in defense of his leader, obozo. And when he suffers, I cheer for our side. I want to see the left suffer, burn and crash. That means you, too, Beckel.

“The ones that applauded are the gays and trannies.”

Don't forget most of the black graduates as well, I would guess. Are there any pics of the audience during the “standing ovation?”

He is one nasty mean ahole...weak body image, limp-wristed, faggy wimp, a cocky big mouth, who'd rather do dope, dream, and get even with the rest of us, and imitate the likes of Musollini, Hitler This ahole is a sociopath, dangerous and a bully. A real big shot pResident who will deny WWII veterans the opportunity to see their WWII Memorial That's right, bozo, pick on the elderly vets, NEVER on any one your size. But payback will really be a bitch, and we owe this bully big time for what he has done to this country.

Why did Fox News cut the sound, rathern than let the public hear the silence of few/no hands clapping? Why are they protecting the azz of obozo?

President Bush at West Point. Amazing though - as soon as he said “thank you, sit down” it was SILENT!

Thank you for the link. Watched it and it gave me the chills..the audience loved President Bush and it was a mutual admiration society. It did my heart good to see that which I miss so dearly...a President, who, with flaws and all, was a damn good leader where the military is concerned, and our need was great after 9/11. What a contrast to obozo’s West Point address. LOVED IT!
