President Obama zipped through Afghanistan

Zipped?

Must have been a dog buffet on the other side. Best when fresh.

[Revolting cat!]

Afghans are said to be especially delicious, and are preferred by gay gourmands.

Here ya go :

yikes .. sorry ‘bout the size of that one !

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

I just saw a clip where he said the tide had turned these past three years. Can’t wait until he parts the sea.

What a pompous, arrogant ass. Disgusting.

[JediJones]

Just like when Krusty the Klown made his special appearance for the kids at Kamp Krusty.

[NormsRevenge]

Mission uhhh Complete!

That's what will happen in this home tonight .... NO interest in his prime time speech.

LOL.

I had no idea he gave a prime time speech, until just now, reading about it here.

“It was much cooler when Bush and Rummie did it.”

Well, back then it was more like a reward for the troops.

I bet they hate being trotted out to see Obama. It reminds me of those forced photo ops with Geraldo.

[DBeers]

I was almost asleep with my eyes shut listening and heard him say “Chicago” and I sat up to see if he was off teleprompter and mis-spoke.

I was surprised to hear mention of such. Unlike with the Olympics it would seem 0b0z0 can now proclaim Chicago as the host city to any number of progressive meetings. It does seem fitting that the city known for promoting scum would as well host scum.

kept patriot act

deployed more to Afghanistan

followed Bush Iraq timetable

increased drone strikes

increased Pakistan probes.

they won’t be back any time soon...

[PghBaldy]

Note it was at 7:30pm ET (if he was on time). 8-11 is PrimeTime. I bet no one would preempt for him... ;)

[onyx]

LOLOLOL. Thank you for pointing that out!

[onyx]

Having to practice his salute is outrageous and he still has it incorrect.

[evad]

"We have devastated AlQaeda"

Borak Hussein Obami

[jennings2004]

Excellent!

[JudgemAll]

Little children “from dark cloud of war”... THIS IS SO GAAAAAAAAAY!

[ETL]

It’s only a “dark cloud” when it involves the US freeing some miserable country from a brutal dictatorship. But Leftist uprisings, revolutions and overthrows are considered “Liberation”, according to commie scum like BHO.

Katy Perry does the ‘Part of Me’ Video re: a woman going into the Marines. Does anyone think this is due to pure support for the troops (she did the Diva for the troops shindig with Kathy Griffin, spit). Or do you think it’s part of the push for the next step of women on the front lines re: combat?

Here’s the vid:

All of a sudden, he’s a war time “president”. His Dukakis moment was standing in front of those big-a$$ trucks. Made him look smaller than the man we know he is.
