TROOP TRICKS: OBAMA STAGES FAKE MILITARY RALLY

This is so evil ..... and the corrupt media is in lock step, goose step.

I watched that poor piece of theater and I knew it ........ well, at least we know the few in the military who are anti-American. Obama’s Potemkin Military Reception Flopping Aces (hat tip Dave)

“Cheered wildly by U.S. troops,” begins Jennifer Democratic Operative Loven’s AP report on Obama’s surprise visit to Iraq on Tuesday. Quite a contrast to the silent treatment Marines gave Obama at his Camp LeJeune speech in late February. Just how did Obama manage to fix that little problem? According to a sergeant in Iraq :

We were pre-screened, asked by officials “Who voted for Obama?”, and then those who raised their hands were shuffled to the front of the receiving line. They even handed out digital cameras and asked them to hold them up. [Via Macsmind.

As supporting evidence for the digital-cameras part of the story, the sergeant (or Mac, can’t tell which), suggests that the identical cameras can be verified in the AP photos. Looks right:

....Snip!...

I figured it was a set up but now we know it for sure. I'm expecting the redstream media to jump into action and begin ignoring this story immediately! (You may want to take a humor break to calm down after this disgusting bit of news so click on those dogged defenders of truth if that is the case)

WTH would the military agree to fraud?

[Venturer]

I am sure this has been done before,but it is pretty shameful.

[nuconvert]

hey, the Iranian regime does this kind of cr&p, why not Obama?

WTH would the military agree to fraud?

I think they did not know they were being played. You have a bunch of men and somebody comes out and says "who voted for Obama ?" A bunch of men raise their hands. They are asked to step forward and some are given cameras. They are then told where to stand. Of course with the sycophants up front it gives the appearance of a love in but if you look at the faces in the back it reveals the true contempt.

Violation of the Military Code of Conduct and the Hatch Act and they know it. Every one should be prosecuted.

I would have figured this much. Nothing this admin does is transparent or dignified.

I knew it was a set up in Iraq when the MSM said Obama made a surprise visit.

It wasn’t a surprise. Fox was reporting he was going there before Obama left Turkey.

4 years of lies and manipulation is too much.

[wolfcreek]

Faux emotions for the Faux president.

Interesting. Could you please elaborate?

Using the military as phony propaganda is nothing but desperation of a failing political party.

[gov_bean_ counter]

If they kept the cameras, they illegally took gifts, the participated in an openly partisan political event and received special privileges as a result of their political affiliation.

Not to mention the manhours of OPSEC training down the drain if these people honestly didn't realize they were being played.

By whom?

My thoughts exactly. Notice post #62 and the date. That's why I made this post, I admit it, I'm bragging.

[RaceBannon]

Wow, you are dead on there!!

Good Thinking!

To be fair to Zeros willing idiots here: If they are guilty of anything it is of being naive and/or ignorant. If they were use to only watching the lamestream news how could they have known what a dirt bag Zero is ? The training was meant for working against known enemies , they honestly don't realize Zero is their enemy. They only see a president that they have come to believe is the second coming of Camelot , in black no less.

That morning my husband and I laughed when the MSM kept saying it was a surprise. Maybe they meant it was a surprise he was even bothering to go there. LOL He probably had to make it look like the troops all loved him after spending the prior 6 days denouncing America to the whole world and blaming Boosh for all the problems.

I bet there wasn't a dust storm either. Some of the photos didn't support that report.

The O admin is so predictable. They are an embarrassment. Just like Hillary and Biden have always been embarrassments with their lies and exaggerations.

Obies failure to visit the IZ last week and the excuse his staff gave still frosts me. Helicopters were flying in Baghdad that day and there was no bad weather. The Iraqis had to convoy out to him. The truth is if the weather is too bad to fly, then it is too bad for a high value convoy because you can't get air support and lose some of the intel support you have in good weather. I just think the guy was too scared to come.

Or he is racist. (Found out that Gurkhas guard a lot of our bases now.)

[napscoordinator]

They want the military folks who support the Commander in Chief to be in the audience. I remember when President Bush came to our base in Korea. They asked us who wanted to go see President Bush. Those who wanted to went. We were briefed not to boo or have any shout outs that were derogatory etc. This is standard. I think the media is making much ado about nothing.
