LIVE: Obama speaks before silent VFW audience
Fox News Channel | 8/17/09

Posted on 08/17/2009 10:16:00 AM PDT by pabianice

Obama is speaking before the VFW now. Except for a dozen people or so, they are sitting on their hands. Vets know who the real Obama is. Occasional applause for apple pie statements. For the most part, silence.

When Baraq first started giving speeches as POTUS, I did a bit of commentary on FR about his head flip frequency.

Then I forgot about it, noticed someone’s comments on FR today, and started again.
Anybody can do it with a watch having seconds display.

Like a lot of forms of body language, I think it can be used to infer stress level.

Baraq was pretty stressed today with the VFW audience.
When he speaks to ACORN or one of his stacked town hall crews, the flip frequency is much lower.

It his failure mode when his message becomes corrupted and isn’t functioning like it should. Que campaign face, campaign teleprompter, roll cameras.

It makes me wonder about the VFW leadership.

Is this an AARP situation where the leaders are in bed with the politicians?

THis is all about Obama trying to SPIN. The meme (big lie) is this is a debate and he is “equal” in this debate.

There is no balance the OVERWHELMING stand is to stop Obama’s Tax increase. Obama is a little man who is in over his head. Jimmy Carter with a Herbert Hoover crisis.

“I promise that no veteran’s healthcare will be compromised by my new bill. I promise that no new paperwork will affect any veteran’s healthcare. I promise that no veterans will see any drop in their benefits and I am so directing my secretary of veterans affairs.”
++++++++++++++

Even though I haven’t read the bill, and don’t know what’s in the bill and can’t explain the implications and consequences or future possible machinations of the bill...

I’m just asking you to TRUST ME.

Wow!?!

.................to help the Afghanis defeat Al Queda.

1. Did he ask the Afghanis about this?

2. Mr. O what is your exit strategy for Afghan?

3. Where are the peace demonstrators?

“He’s head flipping at 20+ per minute”

I’m sure he’ll get a 10 from the Russian judge for those moves. They always give their own the top scores.

On the anniversary of D Day he apologized for “American mistakes” during WWII...but he’ll probably have a special apology all ready for Japan.

Here is the actual quote. I didn't have it exactly right:

For his bravery, Jim was awarded the Bronze Star. But like so many others, he rarely spoke of what he did or what he saw—reminding us that true love of country is not boisterous or loud but, rather, the “tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.”
