Live Thread: Barack Obama Afghan Speech 8 p.m. EST - "Hello I Must Be Going"
Tuesday, December 1, 2009 | Kristinn

Live from New York...it's Barack Obama!

On the banks of the Hudson River at West Point, Obama will give his military strategy for Afghanistan, based on the tactical genius of Capt. Spaulding, aka Groucho Marx:

Hello, I Must Be Going

Oh dear, he is coming, At last he's here.

(Spaulding) Hello, I must be going, I cannot stay, I came to say, I must be going. I'm glad I came, but just the same I must be going. La La.

(Mrs. Rittenhouse) For my sake you must stay. If you should go away, You'd spoil this party I am throwing.

(Spaulding) I'll stay a week or two, I'll stay the summer thru, But I am telling you, I must be going.

(All) Before you go, Will you oblige us, And tell us of your deeds so glowing?

(Spaulding) I'll do anything you say, In fact I'll even stay!

(All) Good!

(Spaulding) But I must be going.

Mark Levin: “He’s quoting the Bush Doctrine ...although he’s not giving the Generals what they asked for and says we’re out in 18 months.”

20:17 Pres_ _ent Obama’s goal is to “end the war”.

Pres_ _ent Obama wants to stop the “momentum” of the
the “Talley—ban”, not kill and destroy them.

In all seriousness, may God bless and protect our troops and comfort their families. And may He bring wisdom and true love of America to the heart of Barack Obama. Oh, and may He smite our enemies real good. Amen.

~~~~~~~~~

AMEN ~!!

He is giving the Generals 30,000 troops. Too bad the Generals asked for 33% more than that.

He is not supposed to know what he is saying. He will never have to defend,hes a front man only its up to the DBM to defend totus.

This is a fatal attempt to appease all sides which can not be done. By giving the troops he appeases the middle but by giving a go home date he appeases his far left kook base.

He also appeases his terrorist buddies who put him in office with huge money from the mid east by giving the go home date. They know the mid east is theirs when we leave.

Instead what will end up happening is he will piss everyone off. Never interrupt your enemy when he is in the midst of self destructing.

You would think he would at least try to fake a little enthusiasm and passion for those he's sending into harm's way. But the same old monotone...blardy, blardy humming tone. He's addressing them as if he's at a corporate board meeting.

What a shabby dirtbag , make that scumbag.
Make that a cockroach.
He ignored Afghanistan for almost a year.
He can’t be man enough to just describe what he plans on doing,
he has to throw dirt on a former President and Vice President.
Two men who have more dignity and patriotism and gravitas and character in a single cell that this creature has in his entire body.
The Taliban must be celebrating tonight .
He’s yelling and looks sweaty and shifty.
And every time he says Tollybon-I think Cinnabon.

Those cadets are so disciplined. They must have been ordered to keep their poker faces on during this long crappy narcissistic speech.

We can only imagine how many of them who are sitting there right now will, in 2011, b sitting ducks for the Taliban.

God bless them and God bless all our military.

"Who the heck writes this? Haven't they gotten the message yet? "

It's a horrible speech. It's partisan and completely political in front of a military audience; Totally inappropriate and unacceptable.
