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."

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Speech writer fail, or TOTUS fail and ad libbing?
I would love to know who “volunteered” to be there and who was “voluntold” to be there.
Bammy needs to be quarantined to the White Hut for ~2 yr.
If this is anything like Johnny Carsons routines, this is about where he starts tap dancing to “tea for two” because the monologue was bombing.

Wow, the troops hate him. They can force them to stand there at attention, but they can’t make them smile.
Yeah, I don't know about that, but I've been suffering from Obama Fatigue for years now.
Ever noticed the guy has NEVER told a funny joke? Never? Not once?
Hint: They are warriors, not mythological creatures or social workers.
A dumb joke that flopped-—no biggie !

I watched the video. They were silent the whole time and not just after his “joke”. Obama looked very uncomfortable up there.
The more Obama talks, the more his and Democrat numbers go down. I am sure most Veterans will take exception to his ill advised statement also. Obama does not have a clue as to how he is being viewed by the majority.
Or speechwriter or TOTUS intentional fail. This guy can be made to say the stupidest stuff, because he has no knowledge or discernment, only a heart of evil. Kind of like a jihadist waving a sign that declares Death to all Juice.
What a total tone deaf scumbag.
If there was any justice in this world he would be deported back to his native country and anyone who voted for him would be sent there with him.
Shecky Obama.....master of comedy.
No, just a insolent, disrespectful, ignorant bastard
I laughed all the way through the state of the union.
Please!
