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.

[Captain Kirk]

I wish the troops would rebel against this traitor!!!!!!

If their rebellion took the form of a refusal to deploy, they could stop this deployment right now.

This clown is so slick! He claims "we much rebuild here at home" while he is bankrupting the nation daily/hourly.

Slick,triangulation, smells of Axelrod all the way.

[Minnesocold]

Are some cadets looking down/closing eyes on purpose? Or are they napping?

[TigersEye]

Day 0! Day ay ay 0! Day light come and de Tolly-bon home free.

Obama is not used to giving speeches that aren’t interrupted with orchastrated applause. I think he might actually be boring himself to death.

LOL, he's boring ME to death.

[MikeGranby]

And now he’s talking about global nuclear disarmament...

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

HA! she’s sooooo right!

Ask her if she remembers “Professor Irwin Cory” on Johnny Carson?

[Skywarner]

They bumped Charlie Brown for this crap?!?

[abishai]

The cameras can’t get a good shot of the audience without showing someone asleep.

[lookout88]

Mark has to stop pushing Goldline. THEY SUCK!!!

[Candor7]

Obama is a disaster.

His polls will plumment because of his whining, beggarly speech.

[jackv]
