How Do Marines Feel About Obama? When Silence Is Golden

Watching this video contrasting the reception given by Marines to George Bush with that given to Barack Obama is a gift that just keeps on giving:

Watch the short Youtube video.

Reading the comments on Atlas Shrugs was kind of fun, too.

I got a tear in my eye seeing the jubilant, heartfelt outpouring of love and support the Marines had for the President who put them into harm's way. They believed in their President, and they believed in the mission he sent them to accomplish.

And I got a pain in my side laughing at the contrast in response when Barack Obama visited Marines. If you listen real hard, you can hear the crickets chirping.

Obama may as well have been appearing in a silent movie compared to the outburst given to Bush.

I was laughing hard enough at the excruciatingly polite reception the Marines gave to Obama before the video footage cut to the CNN reporter who said:

"Uh,the President's Iraq speech at Camp Lejeune. And many may, uh, take note of the mostly - you would have to say - tepid response."

I wrote a predictive article back in October. I'm glad I was right.

May God bless and protect our troops. They are our magnificent warriors - and we should be so proud of our men and women who have chosen to put on the uniform in time of war and sacrifice.

It turns out that, besides being heroic, they aint stupid, either.

Thank you very much for the post.

I'm glad that so many people are receiving this video the same way I did when I saw it.

There's hope yet.

One of many such topics, but I loved this:

Uh,the President's Iraq speech at Camp Lejeune. And many may, uh, take note of the mostly - you would have to say - tepid response.

Notice that only the BIG brass clapped when the sneaky little bitch, Obama, swished up to the stage.

Obama doesn’t deserve to even be in the room with the Military.

You're overly kind. He doesn't rate even being on the same planet...

BO must have been p@ssed at that big time!

Since its his own attitudes which cause the counter attitudes, he can live with it and like, live with it, and not like it, but if he absolutely, positively, can't live with it, well, he knows where the effing door to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC is, and shouldn't let it hit him on the keister on his way back to Chicago...

Notice, as well, that even that was merely perfunctorily polite, never enthusiastic...

I’m sure the active duty Marines will treat Obama with the same courtesy and respect that I was obligated to show to Clinton.

I was always amused at the stories of soldiers having to attend mandatory sexual harassment training in rooms with pictures of the Commander in Chief (Clinton) on the wall.

When Obama walked into the room, I thought it must be protocol to hold applause. Then I saw the brass applauding (with no enthusiasm) and realized that everyone else was deliberately withholding their applause. That speaks volumes.
