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.

Unless of course the teleprompter is broken on one side. Then he doesn’t head flip at all.

Il Duce used to love his head flips and nods....

He just committed to pulling out ALL troops from Iran in 2011.
What happened to his first 6 months in office promise. LOL
His word means nothing.

"In Afghanistan we will be there to help the Afghanis defeat Al Queda." Silence. "We need to fully adapt to the post-Cold War years. The current troop mix is 20 years out of date and is unacceptable." Obama staff applauds. "So we need to ask hard questions about the weapons we buy" (I guess this explains Obama's gutting of the Navy). Silence. This is painful. LOL!
To: pabianice
The silence is deafening....do you hear the echo? This is awesome.

This guy cannot speak from the heart. He continues to read from a teleprompter. Does he really think people don’t see this? What does he know about being a Commander in Chief? He knows nothing about the military. God help our troops and I hope we have better than good Military Commanders.

OMG. I was just watching this and commenting on the same thing to my husband sure enough I go to FR and it is the first post. LOL. You can feel the lack of love. Finally. No manufactured, hand picked audience like the 'Health Care Town Hall Meetings' Montana, Colorado Marxist conventions.

From the news desk of any SRM outlet:
Obama wows Vets speechless
Obama delivered his global-saving message of healthcare reform to former American terrorists, as they listened raptly in reverent silence....

I was not aware we had troops in IRAN? Maybe you meant Iraq?

To: nutmeg
I did just that in Houston in the early 90s. Al Gore came to town to award one of his hokey golden hammers and my boss made me go (I was with DoJ). I on on the 2nd row pretty close to the middle and never unfolded my arms the entire time. When we got back in the car my boss told me I should have at least pretended I wasn’t po’d about being there and politely applauded and I told him not in my lifetime would I ever clap for some dumbass lib.....he cracked up!
