Oh I wish I knew how to put in Jerry the Laughing mouse on that one. That was a riot. None of us know anything unless he tells us right??? Imagine the cadets and families were laughing like crazy.

I would say “despise” is exactly how I feel about Der Fuhrer.

He just is incapable of not insulting good Americans. Every time he opens his yap he insults us.

The damage he’s done is immeasurable.

How it pains me to live through this nightmare.

This November’s election will provide some relief, but Nov.2012 is so far away.

I swear, everything he’s said and done is offensive to America.

I believe he is ineligible to hold the office, and he doesn’t care a wit that he’s a usurper. He laughs at America and how uneducated the public schools have made the populace. He knows that 99 percent of people don’t know The Constitution.

And it just isn’t that he might not have been born on US soil.

He was an Indonesian citizen, named Barry Soetoro, as a child. He is probably still an Indonesian citizen. That’s a disqualifier.

His father was a British Subject, his mother an underage American, at the time of his birth. More disqualifiers.

He applied as a foreign student to US colleges. Why Barry,why?

Multiple Soc.Sec. numbers for him too.

He’s an evil evil man. Religion stated on his Indonesian citizenship papers “ISLAM”.

Dem voters are morons. I still see the bumper stickers, as our country slides towards oblivion.

Ain’t no way to sugar coat it. It’s gonna suck until Jan.20th,2013. Good grief that’s a long way off.

I was just trying to add a little bit of perspective. I do think Obama handled it poorly (as usual).

For the most part the cadets and their families sat in silence.

I noticed one head that mentioned the word ‘tepid’ with regard to the reaction.

His emphasis on diplomacy rather than strength is very troubling.

I was just sort of teasing you.

He isn’t fit to shine the shoes of those graduates, let alone command them. He’s dilusional if he thinks they admire and respect him.

Even with the teleprompter he did a very poor job.

He's like the kid in the class who could read aloud very well but failed the reading comprehension test.

Miscreants at Hudson High are lucky.

At The Citadel, aka Alcatraz on the Ashley, I don't ever remember anyone giving us clemency from having to walk tours as members of the Quad-and-Gun Club.

And they surely would have had the decency not to weasel out of it by leaving the definition of pardonable offenses to whom meted it out in the first place.

He’s no longer even able to read well which brings me to wonder what he’s ingesting.

Tyrant



More likely, that was a warning to the rest of us, that his power over the military is absolute, meaning that he has the power to order the US military to fire on US citizens whom he, in his discretion, decides are enemies of the state.

Thank you. I hope reports of those who were there will keep coming in.
