President Obama's Joke Calling Troops 'Santa in Fatigues' Silences Audience
Breitbart ^ | 12/15/14 | Breitbart TV

Posted on 12/15/2014 2:58:19 PM PST by Nachum

Monday, at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey, during an address to the troops, President Obama made a joke that they are like "'Santa in Fatigues," which was received with complete silence, prompting the president to nervously name-drop the military aircraft C-130 to evoke a response.

President Obama said, "We are free and safe and secure over here because you are willing to serve over there," adding "You never stop serving, you never stop giving, you guys are like Santa in fatigues. Although I bet one of those C-130's is a little more efficient then Santa's sleigh."

...maybe they got word of the slashed pay raise and BAH reduction passed yesterday?

***
Or perhaps they simply knew they were in the presence of the left’s currently most effective weapon in their war on our nation.

It’s at the clip I provided in the post. The Klopek’s address is 669. When Art and Ray bang on the door one of those numbers is shaken loose and rotates down.

Mandatory audience duty: schedule the venue, fill it to the roof.

While I was in the AF, President G.W. Bush visited Eglin AFB in FL. Due to ticket demand, they had to get a bigger venue. He filled an aircraft hangar.

Yep.

A good indicator is when the President presses the flesh with the troops. Do the troops reach out for him, or does he have to reach out to the troops?

President Bush loved and respected the troops, and we knew it. We never doubted he had our back. He shook as many hands as he could in the time he had with his troops.

We despised Clinton. He had to reach.

The clip was aired by Jimmy Fallon on Tonight Show, bringing incredulous ridicule. ‘Bout time.
