Lackluster Response by West Point Cadets

Posted on 12/01/2009 5:38:54 PM PST by DBCJR

Anyone notice how the cadets clapped without energy, on cue, and the almost slouching seating? They were instructed to be polite, to show respect, but their hearts were not in it.

Yes, I also noticed a lot of the cadets were sleeping. They know this President is about defeatism.

Not watching it- but - you better believe the MSM will give glowing reports on how well received Barry was and hoe the cadets were jumping up and down with excitement, giving standing O’s and all that .....

I don’t watch anything he does. I change the channel when his face appears.

I do not think that I could applaud,”I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I....”.

Obama is just awful.

Unlike with Bush, who would be swarmed every time he visited one of the war zones.

Chris Matthews just called the audience the “enemy camp” in his speech follow up on MSNBC...

That will soon change. The first to stop clapping will be the one brought up on charges and sent to wherever. Reference to The Gulag Archepelago.

We’re not watching. We don’t want to give them the ratings and are sick and tired of seeing and hearing the Liar in chief.

“I don’t watch anything he does. I change the channel when his face appears.”

So do I but it sure amounts to a lot of channel changing, doesn’t it?

Did I hear correctly that he promised to “Write a letter to every family who loses a soldier in this fight.” ????

The cadets showed the necessary pro forma response to the CinC but yes, they knew they were listening to a phoney.

Watching on CBS: after the speech Bob Schieffer gave a remarkably skeptical response to the Obama plan. Basically, Schieffer asked "How do you convince the Aghanis that you're with them for the long haul and at the same time begin to pull troops out after 18 months?"

I was cruising the channels and I instantly saw two different shots.
NO ONE looked happy. Wasn't surprised.

He looked pitiful tonight, virtually contradicting himself sentence to sentence: Vitally important, withdrawing in 18 months.
