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.

Even the enemy believes in what they are doing.(That makes them dangerous,,,,They see us in the same light.)

Lies are lies ..They’re lost..

Hope you understand what I’m sayin’.

Obama just created a quagmire war of attrition.
Call in Vietnam II or whatever.

This is sick beyond any thing I have seen in American politics.

This is the most disgusting bunch of crap I have ever seen
come out of the mouth of a president of the United States.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he brings up the Tiger Woods accident. I bet he’ll say “Oh come on, can’t a brother catch a break”

The Cadillac acted stupidly!

All networks carried a pool feed. Bad production though.

Intentional? If so, my hat's off to the West Point video crew.

I'll sum it up.

Dipsh-t cut the baby in half. Then he says in one breath we have to win in Afghanistan and in the next breath that we're leaving in 18 months.

I don't know how todays young troops feel but I imagine that most of them will have the same reaction that I had to one of my CIC's Jimmy Carter. Disgust, disdain and disillusionment.

Maybe it’s just me, but wouldn’t a better strategy to Afghanistan be, hey if you don’t get your Sh** together, we’re staying here FOREVER AND TAKING OVER COMPLETELY.

Tonight was a command performance required by this Bozo POS.

The defiance of the required atendance is, the look on the faces these poor folks under direct orders to set and listen to this scumb bag A$$ clown!

You know it's bad when Bob Schieffer says "He's trying to have it both ways, building up with the largest buildup since 2002, while promising to pull everyone out in three years."

Poor ol' Bob was befuddled.

It was a very demoralizing message to the troops overseas, and to their commanders as well.

Here’s the problem libs face, Americans won’t give up their freedom. We will fight this asshole. And the crowd that thinks they control the world. The military has our backs, not the commies.

Who is "we"? You mean 5% of Americans are going to do exactly what? Nothing of consequence really. You have a mob of people who will benefit fom socialism and THEY will not let you push your views on them. Rule No 1: You have to have the numbers / votes. We don't. Also - the military isn't going to do squat except what they are told.

We’re a military family, the enlisted are completely disgusted with this guy, of course they can’t publicly admit that. I pray every day my kids are safe. My son-in-law has had orders for 6 months or so, he’s heading to Afghanstan in January. And there is a HUGE sentiment in the military, They’re staying in. They won’t/can’t quit now, because our country needs them now more than ever. I just LOVE our kids who serve! They are true patriots! Please pray for our military, they need us now more than ever!
