They get away with it because they know that many people won’t be put off by it and if they are, they will forget it soon.

That doesn’t include us, though.

And you expect something different?

Here's a helpful hint:

Never watch NBC News again.

It works for me.

Depends on what your definition of “Duty” is.

Well it makes sense if you think like a marxist: Obama needs to be labeled as the man that won the Iraq war, and put America on track to win in Afghanistan, so it makes sense for them to make this trip his tour of duty, and when he comes back they’ll greet him like he’s a war hero.

This is straight out of the marxist handbook.

Maybe they meant to say that some of the troops thought Obama looked like Howdy Doody.

Well, to be fair, Obama’s “tour of duty” was only slightly shorter than John F’n Kerry’s.

Just sayin’.

This tactic didn’t work for Kerry (who was actually in the military) .. what makes NBC think it will work for Obama ..??

These dems are in total denial about what a buffoon Obama really is.

RE: How can they get away with this????

How? Try a variation of an old favorite, Swoon Over Obami

or.. something that's maybe from a remake of the movie Being There:

Headline:

Most precise, concise plan ever! Doable! say journalists
"My plan for national security? Kumquats."
"No one before Obama has enunciated a better plan," say leading experts.

I guess that when you are “the one we have been waiting for”, you can do things and others can do things in your name which would, in lesser entities, be considered crass and arrogant.

I hear you! And that is why I'm not watching any news this weekend. Below is a link to the first hand account of what happened last weekend at Wanat, A-stan. Now those are the true Soldiers of this WOT.

“Depends on what your definition of “Duty” is.”

That’s the term we use when our dog has to do his business out in the back yard.

I never watch NBC news.

I promise to continue never watching it.

I also never watch CBS or ABC and will continue that path.

That’ll work just fine, no?

I wish more Freepers would share your view.

However, sadly, many Freepers continue to watch the Liberal Media.
