No Naval Swords for U.S.N.A. Graduation this year Threat to the Dear Leader Inside the Beltway

From today's you couldn't make it up if you tried file.......Obama's protectors have ordered graduating Midshipmen....and I suppose Commissioned Officers through Flag rank...to leave their swords at home. Full Dress White includes "wear sword". More to the point...those badges of office have been earned in a manner Obongo and his minions just wouldn't begin to understand. Important traditions that inspire are kind of lost on the red banner crowd, apparently.

Further, ceremonial swords never seemed to bother the Secret Service for any previous President. And before World War II, the swords were not particularly "ceremonial", I've seen some of those blades, boarding actions did occur on the China Station pre-war against river pirates, warlords, etc. Those swords were worn not just to graduation, but to Inaugurations, in the receiving line at the White House afterward, to the Inaugural Ball. Somehow nobody gave it a second thought. Somehow even Presidents in the past didn't presume to specify items of uniform.

But of course, what worked for Harry Truman, Ronald Reagan, F.D.R., the Bushes, T.R., any other rational non-cult leader.....doesn't work for this former state senator anointed by the Chicago machine.

Pres. Bush among many other Presidents were not afraid to stand with our military who carried swords...But Obama, well what can I say....

I love this comment the was at the Obama Files news site which also had a story about this

"Wow! Obama sure is paranoid. Does he expect some middie to go all jihad and cut his head off?

Just last week we learned he had a food taster on his trip to the Mideast and Europe -- now, this "threat." It must suck to be Obama."

What a wuss

[WellyP]

Muzzies know all about head chopping!

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Maybe after Obama cuts the Navy Budget he will have reason to fear his own sailors. This sounds more like a tin pot dictator than a president of the US of A.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Worst president, ever.

We The Libs have elected a most chickenshit un-President. What a sorry excuse for a Leader.

[detective]

Next they are going to take away their guns and send them to Afghanistan and other wars carrying Democrat policy papers. Our great country is doomed.

The pussy in chief doesn’t like sharp objects.

[Tuketu]

Dismayed over the banned sabers; overjoyed at Zeros paranoia!. More, more, more, I say.

[Tarpon]

Does anybody else find the just over the top funny?

The naive man-child is a coward as well.

[BenLurkin]

Is this satire?

[stboz]

I guess this partly answers whether the military will stand with the People or the government.

He won't stand with the military......so......

[Costumed Vigilante]

No previous President was ever a domestic enemy of the Constitution, the people, the military, and the entire country before.

Congratulations Barry. You're a first. Let's hope you're the last, too.

Paranoia often stems from a guilty conscience.

[hence the old saying “Nobody has more locks on their door than a thief”]

[Cementjungle]

I guess he won’t be visiting any battleships... hard to remove those huge guns.

[ataDude]

POtuS pretty much sums it up.

[tired1]

I once read about some guy in Germany, years ago, that had his own SS that was supposed to protect him. WTH, it was just another gbmnt job and the bennies were real good.

Obambi = WUSS
