Posing. He doesn’t care about America. Or our allies. Or the gas prices we pay. Or the food prices. Or our insurance premiums.

He doesn’t give a damn.

They probably cannot shoot back.

As usual, Americans are being set up
by the unConstitutional Tyrant
and his EXEMPT docile enablers
for Islam and the Enemies of the USA.

Although the additional troops are equipped for combat, Obama states that they aren’t combat troops.
This guy could give lessons in dissembling to the Clintons.

200? 800? 1000?

Against thousandS of religio/political fanatics with no human qualities ?

I'd refuse and take the courts martial ...with any luck, I could at least get a public statement out about the maniac in the white house.

He was against it before he was for it before he was against and now for it ..!!???

Code Pink and Cindy Sheeham are awfully quiet.

Is Sean Penn going to Iraq and form a human shield to protect the innocent??

Will John Kerry state he doesn’t want the troops to die for a mistake??

Oh how the worm has turned....

Isn’t it amazing how quiet congress is these days? Maybe we’d be better off if they were just defunded?

“Maybe we’d be better off if they were just defunded?”

Agree completely.
It’s not like they’re objecting to Obamagumbe wearing=out his own US Treasury checkbook.
Absolute moratoriums on spending and immigration, excepting only payroll payments to troops and pending citizenship applications by bona fide immigrants.
Of course the critters would complain that dogs would soon be sleeping with cats, End of Days, etc.
But when was the last time you got a check from the feds or an immigrant did something for you?

Defund them. I just wrote my Rep critter and, as politely as I could manage, urged him to get off his a** & do something—to impeach Obama.

In a perverse way, the Clown Fool intentionally does "give a damn". It is just that he cares about destroying our Republic and destroying our Freedoms. He cares. Everything this fool does is intentional. He should be in prison.
