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.

Beautiful. Go, Vets! The Thug doesn’t respect you at all. He just mouths the words.

Here, the obamanation is in, for him, a “foreign land” when he talks with the Veterans. These people are HEROS, American HEROS. this obamanation is committing TREASON... reverse TREASON... and they know it.

Applause apparently coming from the 50 or so Obama officials in the front rows.

ACORN and union thugs bused in no doubt. The Veterans probably had to sit in the back.

Says he’s going to remove all troops from Iraq by 2011. Isn’t that slightly different than his campaign promises? LOL

“We will remove all our troops from Iraq by 2011”... silence from audience. “My new comprehensive strategy of March is moving ahead.” Silence. “Our new strategy has defined missions and goals.” Silence. “We are supplying our troops with thr armor and gear they need.” Obama appointees applaud.

Zero:

All troops out of Iraq by 2011. So we can concentrate on AQ and extremist allies in Pah-keestan.

He’s head flipping at 20+ per minute.
That’s always an indicator of nervousness.
When calmer, he headflips in the 12-16 range.

He should have become a social member. Maybe they would have given him some applause then. I’m sure the crickets can be heard though...

What would have been even better would have been if the Vets remained silent but all of them turned their backs when he walked to the podium.
