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

Posted on 12/01/2009 3:54:38 PM PST by 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.

The SOB does not look at the camera to speak to the American people, but he does when he speaks to the Muslim world.

If you missed George W Bush address to both houses of congress following 9/11 you missed the greatest speech of all time.

So the ChickenHawk in Chief goes half in. They guy is a dipsh-t. He’s neither a leader of men nor a genius, simply a dipsh-t.

Now Obama is blathering on about community organizing.

All these inconsistant goals with only 30 thousand troops.

> They must have been ordered to keep their poker
> faces on during this long crappy narcissistic speech.

They were. If you watched the feed on C-SPAN, you’d have seen some high-up come and give them a pep-talk beforehand about how they have to be respectful and clap when certain key phrases are mentioned eg. acking a disabled veteran.

Yes, HE not the generals has determined that we need more troops in Afghanistan.

Well....as President, it was HE? He's the commander in chief, not McChrystal. We're not a military dictatorship....yet. Unfortunately, Obama made the wrong choice. He should have brought them home, not sent more.

He has dark evil eyes, and his lips are particularly blue this evening.

I bet it’s the standard dueling teleprompters and when he looks directly into the camera - which he never does because of his jug ears (but did tonight), he is reading off a big screen tv down in front of the stage.

Glad all is well!
