The Marines at Camp Lejeuene are maintaining a stony silence during Obama's speech on his plans to withdraw combat brigades from Iraq by August 31, 2010 and all troops by the end of 2011.
The contrast of the enthusiasm the military had for President Bush and this occupant of the White House is stunning.

I turned the sound down. I just can’t listen to that huckster anymore, and he’s on every single day. I just mute it and watch the market in the corner of the screen.

They’re trying to figure out which hand holds the knife with which Obama will stab them in the back.
They know when, they just don’t know where.

I thought it seemed rather quite compared to Bush as well. I bet he is very uncomfortable, a very different crowd compared to his normal Jesus status.

is this the one on http://www.c-span.org?
Reminds me when they ORDERED soldiers to applaud for clinton.
The side by side is going to be interesting.
Obama is giving a racism speech to the military?

The Marines are men of honor and they take their oaths very seriously, I kid you not.
By all accounts, BHO has a hefty dose of contempt for the Constituion, and I kid you not on that also!

My good friend is going back to Afghanistan in April. Words cannot describe his feelings about Obama being Commander In Chief :( Not a single person in his Troop like the man. You should hear all of these seasoned, battle hardened vets after they’ve had a few beers talk about Obama!
We must all support our fighting men and women like never before! They’re going to need it.

The idea that Obama is the one "ending the war"...is such a farce, it's disgusting.
The idea of taking "war money" and using it for social programs is his goal. THAT'S why he put the cost in the new budget....He created a "kitty".

The Marines’ silence has less to do with military spending cuts and military wage freezes than that he is destroying the republic whose Constitution they have taken an oath to uphold.

He keeps trying to suck up to the Marines. We need tens of thousands of Marines and other soldiers in a suit asking to see his Kenyan BC.
A commie rat like him is unfit to lead our brave soldiers. they know he will sell us out to Islam and that he is owned by the Saudis.

newsflash the expanding veterans care means to include acorn volunteers. remember obama wants to include community organizers in the gi bill.
is the applause timed exactly? it is precisly the same amount of time.
is there an applause sign.
it seems they are scheduled applause cues.
raise pay. IOW obama is trying to buy the soldiers (what a doof he keeps cracking jokes) with “free stuff”
this is what they did during the french revolution.
