Barry’s biggest morale destroyer was putting fairies in the military. I think the Kenyan wanted to bring the military down a few notches. Obama is a scumbag.

OK, admit it, who sold this bozo a clue?

He surely isn't bright enough to have come up with it on his own.

I'd like Congress to gut the government programs that are abused by Obama’s constituency.

“It is my suspicion that the White House and congressional Democrats” designed the supercommittee process “for one purpose: to force Republicans to choose between raising taxes or gutting defense,”

Welcome to the party, Buck, that was immediately apparent to most Americans.

No, they ALL know it...he’s the one who has said it out loud. Petraeus, for example, is just counting the months until the happiest day of his life which is Obama’s last day 2013, will he finally receive no orders from this a-hole.

Wow...is the military turning against the messiah? I’m not sure I’ve ever heard such a high rank blast the (so-called) Commander and Chief before.

But.. I thought Boehner achieved a victory with the debt compromise. They have known this all along but now act surprised simply to maintain the illusion that they did not cave during the debt ceiling compromise.

Of course that cockroach is anti military. So was Clinton. So was Carter.

It's in the demoRAT creed.
