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.

Obama wows Vets speechless Vets listen in respectful silence (rather than boo him off the stage).

Really brings new life and color to the old line about dealing with FUBAR officers by just a “Salute The Shirt”...

That is all he knows how to do. It is all he has ever done in his entire life. Campaigning is his resume. He has not so much as had a paper route or worked in a fast food joint or owned a hot dog stand. He campaigns. That's what he does. That's who he is. The best description I have ever seen...but he has his hand on the nuclear trigger...;(

Didn’t ANYONE tell OBOZO that John F’ing Kerry fought in Vietnam and NOT in Europe? Also, did anyone tell OBOZO that John F’ing Kerry was awarded THREE PURPL HEARTS in Three Months before he was sent home early as a HANOI(NORTH VIETNAM) SPECIAL WAR HERO?
Did anyone of the VFW Vets ask “WHAT OBOZO did for His Homeland of KENYA?”

Announcer says crowd numbers 13,000. Perhaps 50 applauded. An astonishing beat-down.

SRM talking bozo leftist: “President Obama addressed the VFW today regarding his health care plan, to a very warm reception...” Now, on to other ‘news’ (that we consider important to indoctrinate you about..)

“Obama pledged to reform the procurement process so that troops have the best equipment possible at the best cost to taxpayers.”
Why not pay the contractors for the ‘quality’ of the arms they provide our troops. We’ll call it ObamaDefenseCare. Sounds great at face value, until you get into the details.

Remember that the men & women of our military are of a far more adult caliber than the Infant-President.

How true is this? Please add the Democrat party to this compare and contrast.

Last Veterans Day, I went to a gathering honoring my father. It was after the election, and the general sentiment was - the people just voted for everything we sacrificed so much to defeat.

Yes, it’s VERY sad...we can ony hope we’ve woken up from this nightmare, before it’s too late.

VFW Leadership was clobbered. I sent one of the nastiest emails I ever sent to the head of the VFW. Told him that he dishonered my Father and other Vets who fought for this Country.Good for you. They deserve to be clobbered.
To: HIDEK6
He’d be better off talking about the veterans of Tet, Khe Sanh, Hue and Tay Ninh province.

Doesn’t jive with the socialist approved narrative.

Did anyone mention to Obozo that members of the VFW DID turn their backs on Hanoi John during a 2004 campaign speech?
To: Aria
MY new bill? Hes claiming this bill that he didnt write and admittedly is unfamiliar with?
++++++++++++
Kind of like claiming he was a US Senator once and actually authored anything. More pathetic - more to come, I’m sure.
