Liberals Vow to 'Spank' Obama for Sending More Troops to Afghanistan
President Obama is days away from announcing a new Afghan strategy, but his immediate battle could come from liberals within his own party who are vowing to "spank" the president for committing tens of thousands of more troops to the eight-year conflict.
President Obama is days away from announcing a new Afghan strategy, but his immediate battle could come from liberals within his own party who are vowing to "spank" the president for committing tens of thousands of more troops to the eight-year conflict.
In a prime-time speech Tuesday from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Obama is expected to announce that he is sending up to 35,000 additional troops to Afghanistan beginning next year.
The figure is short of the 40,000 troops his top commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, requested -- but enough to anger many congressional Democrats who oppose any potential troop surge, arguing that the mission is too expensive and lacks a clear objective.
"I think there will be some disillusionment within his base," said Paul Kawika Martin, political director for Peace Action, a grassroots organization, who added that thousands of activists are planning to protest following the president's announcement.
"We're going to spank him for sending more troops," he told FoxNews.com, adding that they may also "thank him" if he announces a quick exit strategy.

Another 2-3 point hit to Obama’s approval rating. Obama will be at -18 at some point next week.
The best part is he is losing among Liberals AND Moderate Independents.
Nobody is happy with the job he is doing except race-biased voters.
Oh yeah, spank him, Libs, do.
Do it for us!
So, how are they going to do that?
just send Larry Sinclair over.
I still like the strategy I heard years ago. Carpet bomb the country and leave. If it becomes a problem in the future, carpet bomb again. Don’t waste American lives defending a Muslim government.
This idiot Soetoro even manages to screw up screwing up.
Barney would be more than happy......
35,000? I’ll believe that when the TOTUS actually reads it. And looking forward to his explanation of exactly why almost 90% of what the general requested, is ok, but 100% is not.
Hope Barney does not provide only lip service to this task.
Actually, you’re wrong. The race-based voters don’t have an opinion on the job he is doing, for the most part. They’re only happy with him because of the color of his skin. Nothing else seems to matter with them (yet).
“We’re going to spank him for sending more troops,”
...imagine this same language being used in regard to Reagan or Bush? A true leader doesn’t warrant a “spanking”! Or even a reference to same. Wearing a dunce cap, standing in the corner, time out, “spanking” are all appropriate for such an imbocilic imposter theifOTUS..
“looking forward to his explanation of exactly why almost 90% of what the general requested, is ok, but 100% is not”.
...he just did what Axelrod and Rham told him to. Trying to play both sides. Now he’s pissed off libs, conservatives, linguini spined independants, libertarians...
What a bizarre way to threaten B. Hussein. I am sure a smack on his pansy ass will only compel the first metrosexual resident.
You liberals may be giving him just what he has longed for in a fetish sort of way.
“Will Barney Frank do the spanking??”
He’s currently the highest bidder.
I hope he doesn't wear blue dress.
