West Point Gives The Cold Shoulder To President Obama
Breitbart ^ | 29 May 2014 | by JORDAN SCHACHTEL

President Barack Obama received a chilly reception for his warnings against the alleged dangers of climate change during his address at West Point Wednesday.

The cadets exhibited little warmth in applauding their Commander in Chief, which should come as little shock when considering the actual dangers these American soldiers will face upon graduating.

The Commander in Chief took the time to warn of the so-called dangers of global warming, urging the cadets to “make commitments to combat climate change.”

Our troops, many of whom lay down their lives each and every day to protect the individual freedoms of every American, were being told that they weren’t doing enough.

With all due respect to the Commander in Chief, they can’t fumigate the place.

The creep considers himself a “citizen of the world”

And he told the USMA grads they will be fighting for “peace and prosperity” not just for America but for other nations as well!

It won't trouble the left in the least. In this video, a NBC foreign affairs reporter I'd unable to name a single country with which we have better relations now than under Bush! Amazingly enough, the reporter blames that on Bush. In short, the reporter says that the Bush foreign policy was so heavy handed and violent that countries cannot yet adjust to the peaceful and ethical policy of Obama. I don't know if Obama learned to lie from the MSM or the other way around. Actually, Obama has prospered his entire life by blatant lying and charming progressives into believing him.

Dig this:

The question you [the American armed forces] will face – is not whether America will lead, but how we will lead, not just to secure our peace and prosperity, but also to extend peace and prosperity around the globe.

These days, cadets know more about foreign policy and national security than this doofus and John Kerry put together. Disgraceful. He’s risking all our lives.
