Why is bambi walking around saluting at random?

[nfldgirl]

It's rumored they didn't want her to be the focus over all the other dignitaries there...

If the truth be told/known, PBO didn't want anyone being the focus more than him.

If you have the time listen to Sarkozy’s speech.

Can we please exchange Presidents??

Why is bambi walking around saluting at random?

Medically it's known as a jerk reflex.

I just went to the TOTUS blog...no entry yet on the speech here. If you want to read TOTUS blog, just put totus in a search engine...don’t use Google, I use Dogpile cause they donate to doggie adoptions.

Not sure if we noticed it on the thread- but Gordon Brown has made it to the front page of DRUDGE:

OMAHA BEACH, FRANCE: BRIT PM BROWN DECLARES ‘OBAMA BEACH’ IN D-DAY TRUBUTE SPEECH...

[nfldgirl]

Ha! I was wondering the same thing!

Being male, I lack any fashion sense - but is there ANYTHING Michelle else could do to make her hips look bigger? Short of adding pillows to each hip, I mean...

Good thing she is the most fashionable and sexy First Lady in our nation’s history!

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Great idea!!!

[old_sage_says]

Thanks for the thread and giving all of us a chance to express our feelings.

Gotta go now. Time to tune into Kim Komando and bake a cake and prepare some chicken salad and tuna salad.

[CRBDeuce]

Never thought I would think more of a French president’s speech than our own.

You never HAD to before, ever. Never had a president with such a shallow grasp of history before, ever.

"I was weaned on WW II stories"

ME too. RIP Adolph (I know, unfortunate name) Kulik, Donald Mascia' (both of whom immigrated here in the hopes of fighting Hitler and Mussolini, but wound up fighting the Japanese instead, Harold Plank (one of the Rangers who just harpoon guns to shoot ropes up to the cliffs and climed then under heavy fire), and God bless all of those who gave their blood, their sweat, their tears and their lives in order to free a continent.

[MEG33]

I did not watch at all because I cannot bear to see him there..Just reading the thread is raising my blood pressure..
God help us and save our nation.

Being male, I lack any fashion sense -

Same here. I'm just a guy but isn't Michelle's belt width and placement kinda - peculiar? To me it's ugly.

[jennyjenny]

It’s like he’s wired so someone can buzz him when it’s time to salute and that “someone” is messin’ with him.

[tiredoflaundry]

I threw up in my mouth a little.....

[romanesq]

Goler getting choked up about what? Obama being there?

"Showing The One singing our national anthem- he’s gotten coached in the lyrics."

Did you notice then The Idiot tried standing to attention? He had his bum sticking way out.

“the only concrete expression was the “right of women to wear the hajib”?”

I was thinking he might mention female genital mutilation (female circumcision) that is practiced by muslims. It is reported that an estimated 130 million Muslim women and children, averaging nearly 6,000 a day, have undergone sexual mutilations. This, of course, along with the hajib, is quite a fashion statement.
