It's bad enough that Barack Obama's trip to the Middle East is getting an insane amount of MSM coverage (the three big network news anchors? Whoa!); now, NBC News believes it apt to compare Obama's sojourn to ... an actual military tour of duty.

Sickening liberal media throwup. Look here’s Obama he’s going to save the world, he’s pretty, he’s clean, he’s intellectual and he’s for change. Need we say more? qualified? thats a racist remark!

No suprise.
The Saturday CBSNews report of Obama's welcome to Kuwait
(by some blond reporterette) made it clear that Obama was sacrificing
precious time from Presidential campaigning in the USA in order
to make this visit to Iraq/Afghanistan.
The reporterette made it sound like some G-d had come down from
the top of Mount Olympus to visit the mere mortals.

He's over-rated but the media are complicit in this. The media has a vested interest in having a black at quarterback as President.
To: chessplayer
The news anchors can only be in grave danger if Obama is in grave danger. Hero by proxy syndrome.

Did any of the three network orifices ask Barry why he did not hold any hearings on the war while he was doing his temporary tour of duty in the Senate? He has been “off duty” in the Senate for some time, but c’mon.

He wants a tour of duty? Suit him up, give him an M-16 (unloaded natch) and let him walk the walk. He would be down calling for Michelle within a mile!

Laura Ingraham played the NBC soundbite this morning. Expect it be a quote of the week. She also mentioned playing a sound effect of a needle scratching on a record as in a "waitaminute, what'd they just say?!!!" way.

New definition of infinity:
Put Obama in front of an infinite number of microphones for an infinite number of hours in front of an infinite number of reporters and not only will he eventually say something intelligent, but at least one member of the MSM will report it.

(p) Get use to it, they (MSM) nominated our Republican nominee and now they are starting to elect the next President. This is happening right before our eyes and it seems we (the ones that vote anyhow) can’t do a thing about it except gripe. Its a dam shame how so many people do not pay attention to what is going on and either do not vote or just listen to what the TV and papers tell them.

re: “Tour of Duty”
Well now all Obambi needs to do is to give a Kerry-esque salute in front of his next press conference and declare that he is “REPORTING FOR DUTY!”
Wow, so now a snivelling socialist who despises the military can claim a “tour of duty” simply for enjoying a VIP trip for a few days...... what a mind-warp.

Just be glad Obama hasn’t yet demanded to be presented with a Silver Star... Don't laugh. That is exactly the award LBJ got for riding along in a B-26 aircraft on one combat mission in the Pacific during WWII - and the aircraft never even got to it's target! He wore his Silver Star throughout all his election campaigns and during his Presidency.
The story behind LBJ's Silver Star
I expect before this trip is all over, we will be reading of similar tales of "heroism" by Barack Hussein Obama...
