One day , after BO is out of office, they will sell tapes of his speeches as a cure for insomnia.

Fortunately we here at FR and some others have seen through him from the beginning. Our country is too strong to lose to this guy. We will eventually win out.

**************
I agree with you about your first point. That’s our only consolation at this point. We saw what was coming.

On the second point, not so much. The very character of the country has changed in very significant ways and an obsession with political correctness has virtually paralyzed us. If we are to find a salvation, it will take a national national calamity to wake people up. Just my humble opinion.

I can’t figure out why he was invited to speak there.

What makes you think he was 'invited' ?

A copuple of weeks ago I had the privilege of running into a group of conservatives from Massachusetts! I too live in a deep blue state so we commiserated at length and shared our mutual concerns over the current sad state of affairs. :)

I unfortunately agree but I am too naive to realise it.

Obama has also politicized the military in a disturbing way.

I too am a vet. Obama makes me sick.

I don’t understand that statement.....

It means the government will set up a central storage site for all vet owned weapons.

If you need your gun, just drive to the facility, present proper ID, sign some forms, be scanned, photographed, and pay the $75 retrieval fee... you have your gun.

(you only will be allowed to have it for a limited time interval, for such events as WWII enactments. All ammo in gun is kept in the central facility and the owner may only use 'blanks' while the gun is out on 'loan' to the owner)

Obama never speaks. He lectures.

Even then, he doesn't say anything of substance. It's like a sentence where the noun and the verb have nothing to do with each other.

I meant no disrespect. Just trying to keep it real. I struggle daily to understand this existential crisis myself.

Our rapid national decline is nothing short of alarming. I treally believe that the only thing that will save us, ironically, is a national calamity that wakes people up. Again, my humble opinion and I hope I’m wrong. Maybe I am underestimating our ability to recover.

So... what you are saying is that

The Legion invited Obama even though they didn’t want him to come, and Obama went even though he didn’t want to go.

No wonder the crowd was so supportive.(/s)

He lectures.

****************

He pontificates. He is nothing but a purveyor of platitudes and pompous pontification. He is the Lyin’ King.

As a vet, I am disappointed that the members didn’t stand up an turn their back on him

Just proves that the Vets have more respect for the OFFICE of President than he does.

He was playing to another audience that wasn’t in the arena.

Who, the Russians or the Muslims ?

Exactly what I was thinking. If this was a golf gallery I could understand some light applause for a double bogey. But our vets clapping for this clown? They need to get real.

My husband keeps commenting he is looking thinner and thinner all the time—like a stick.
