this is Mr Eloquent? Mr Smart? What a crock. Sans teleprompter, this guy's as dumb as Rachel Maddow.

Yes, that's what the commander-in-chief said to his troops today in South Korea. Well, give the bas**** credit for being honest for once.
Buried at the end of a Washington Post report on his decision to not decide on Afghanistan until after Thanksgiving is this George Washington moment for Barack Obama:
Obama arrived on the base 3:19 p.m. local time (1 a.m. Eastern Standard Time), and received a rousing welcome from 1,500 troops in camouflage uniforms, many holding cameras or pointing cell phones to snap pictures.
"You guys make a pretty good photo op," the president said.
Standing on a riser wearing a blue suit and red tie, with a cluster of troops and a large American flag behind him, Obama expressed "the gratitude of the American public" and said his meetings in four countries over eight days in Asia will help deliver a "safer more prosperous world for all of us."
He got a huge cheer when he told them he was increasing military pay. "That's what you call an applause line," he said, before boarding his jet and taking off at 4:11 p.m.
What an arrogant as*wipe...
How on earth did they find 1500 Democrats in the military?
Gawd I despise this ‘man’.
I saw this on Drudge and couldn’t believe it. I hope this statement haunts him to the grave.
Keepin’ it classy and dignified for our troops.
“...He got a huge cheer when he told them he was increasing military pay. “That’s what you call an applause line,”...”
Yep, it is also a line worthy of Caligula.
Okay, we’ll be good little mercenaries now that we have a pay raise.
“How on earth did they find 1500 Democrats in the military?
“
Inner city recruiting, illegal aliens, etc.
video on this?
he told them he was increasing military pay

I believe that is left up to congress...
and at the same time he is taking benefits from veterans...
I suppose if George Bush had said something like that, the press would be all over him. Say what you will about Mr. Bush’s presidency, but at least he had class...and a healthy respect for the military.
This guy, on the other hand, is trash.
I can’t figure out if he is an idiot or an a@#hole.
Would it be a good photo-op by coffins?....Brain dead moron!
Actually, they only TOLD him there were 1500 folks there.
"Since they're in camouflage, you can't see them, sir".
if George Bush had said something like that
The heat he took for “Mission Accomplished”!
Obama saying what he means and meaning what he says!
both
I think he already exploited that photo-op...
