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.

He said "First, there are those who suggest that Afghanistan is another Vietnam."

He's trying to appease the left who are totally against sending more troops thus the analogy.

I think he’ll push a war tax on the wealthy and probably get it. It is only party a sop to the small anti-war left faction, however IMHO. He doesn’t really need them, especially when he can count of conservatives to support the deployment!

Obama makes Castro look like a centrist. He reminds me of Arafat

Obama skipped over "God Bless our troops" at the end of the speech.

From the text:

Thank you, God Bless you, God Bless our troops, and may God Bless the United States of America. ###

Yes—yes—just like Castro....stringing together a bunch of endless words and phrases from all his other speeches.

It was a Frankenstein of a speech!

Ok, I don’t like the guy but regardless that was one of the most boring, rambling speeches I have ever heard.
