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.

Tell me a little more about that, if you don’t mind. He actually was talking about a nuclear attack and laughed? What was the context of the remark? Was he actually laughing at the notion that we could ever suffer a nuclear attack?

I understand there were about 13,000 people there. You could only the applause of about 50. That should tell him something. Like was said, he probably couldn’t wait to get out of there. He hardly ever looked them in the eye. He looked only at the teleprompter.

Re: “His words have NO meaning. He is a Marxist. Every word out of his mouth is a damn lie”

*********

Who is he, really? Just a puppet of the left — set up by Soros et al — the dream bi-racial ‘candidate’ propped up to thrill the masses. But wait... truths are coming out — though we here knew those truths all along.

People scoffed at me when I said he was a Marxist before the election. Now they unhappily nod in agreement. Some leftist aquaintances are not pleased at all and don’t trust him anymore.

We must make sure he is a one-termer, if not removed from office even before end of this term. Oh, and by the way: WHERE’S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?

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

3. Where are the peace demonstrators?

Right. Hypocrites. If they were protesting him, they’d at least have consistency. Not even that.

Thanks for the further info. Did he actually talk about a nuclear attack and laugh as though fear of that is silly?

Viacom had $8million tied up in advance money for her autobiography. They wanted to preserve her legacy.

I didn’t hear the whole speach. Once I saw he was just reading the teleprompter....I just listened if I wasn’t doing anything. Can you imagine ole Blood and Guts standing in frot of the VFW and reading from a teleprompter?

Interesting context. Makes it an even grosser lie.

“I understand there were about 13,000 people there. You could only (hear) the applause of about 50.”...

Probably the Secret Service dispersed among the crowd who were ordered to clap.

The media has been corrupt in their responsiblities to the public for a LONG time. They serve the Democrat Party, not the public interest or even an objective interest in recording history.

Kanye West made a racist remark about GW Bush and from it the public was informed (that in the words of at least on celebrity at a network fundraiser for the Katrian victims) “George Bush doesn’t like black people”.

The double standard was glaring.

Obambi can’t handle the pressure of the office. GW Bush faced a far more hostile media and public. The media laughed when an Iraqi journalist threw a shoe at Bush and they wished it’d hit him. And yes I question the patriotism of US journalists. Go to YouTube and search for the clip of Peter Jennings and Mike Wallace saying they’d keep mum about a planned hit on our troops if they had a scoop (a journalist’s “non-intervention” role, don’t you know).

They were’t protesting war. They were protesting Bush.

Dang it, I deleted the e-mail...

Connie, can you post the link to the misleading YouTube video you sent out on e-mail?

I was able to get a couple of snapshots before I had to walk the rest of the way to work this morning. The folks in charge made sure there was a street or two or three between the probamas and the antibamas. I did, however, see a few antibamas in the middle of the probamas, but they were just trying to get to some coffee and they had their signs down.

I think it was about even steven in terms of numbers. I saw some good signage from our side [antibama] and I took a couple of pictures.

Just so happened that the demonstrations took place right by my work, so I was just a few minutes late getting to my seat in cubeville.
