Obama Lands in Afghanistan In Surprise Visit
CNNi ^ | 5-1-12 | CNN Wire Staff

Posted on 05/01/2012 12:11:45 PM PDT by tcrlaf

President Barack Obama made a previously unannounced visit to Afghanistan on Tuesday, the first anniversary of the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden in neighboring Pakistan.

The president will make a televised address from Afghanistan at 7:30 p.m. ET.

The trip was Obama's third to Afghanistan since taking office. He visited in March 2010 and returned in December of the same year. He also visited Afghanistan in 2008 as a presidential candidate.

Tuesday's visit came at a particularly delicate time in relations between the United States and Afghanistan. The countries have been negotiating a strategic agreement that would outline the basis for U.S.-Afghan cooperation after most U.S. and allied troops withdraw in 2014.

I wish someone would photoshop a picture of Obama posing over Osama’s dead body like the soldiers got in trouble for. Sort of like a trophy kill.

He’s there to claim victory for the Taliban and to secretly tell them that he really had nothing to do with Osama Bin Laden’s death.

Even some members of the die-hard MSM kneepad brigade are a bit queasy over this blatant showboating....now he’s just looking silly and everyone except him realizes it.

Guess that’s what happens when you only have one positive piece of news in your entire Presidency - and you were huddled in the corner sucking your thumb when the real men made it possible!

“Doing the Icky Shuffle in the end zone.”

Why are you insulting Icky by comparing him to 0bama? Icky actually carried the ball over the goal line while 0bama was at home sitting in front of the TV.

He could probably pop in on a few old friends while in the -”....Stahns”...he must have some ex-BF’s from his old college-stahn days.

I am soooo tired of him...

Apparently he has found the 51st state. I wonder how much this campaign appearance is costing us. And no doubt the TV networks will show his speech, after denying Romneys request last week. The Blood Pressure is starting to rise.

“This is beyond reprehensible. The sorry son of a b!tch.”

What did you expect? Axelrod said that Obama would WIN in 2012 because “He killed Osama”. Anyone remember that?

It’s the ONLY foreign policy win the Obamunists have, EVERY OTHER try has been an amateurish FAIL.

Obama has not right to go to Afghanistan on a tax payer funded campaign trip during an Election Year.

No other president would do such a thing.

Yes, Mr Pesident go down that alley and turn right and then turn left.
There are a group of locals who want to meet the great Barack Obama.
