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.

If you drank at every Tolleebahn and Pockeestahn, you’d have alcohol poisoning now.

O’Reilly compared Obama’s speech to a dry academic lecture. That sounds about right.

Grass growing. Paint drying. Obama speaking.

What about how he said he “signed” many condolence letters to military families?? He didn’t say he wrote them; it sounded like he didn’t even read them. But he got to write Barack Obama on them. Mmm mmm mmm.

Perhaps you missed the millions who marched on the mall on 9-12? Or all the tea parties across America? Urban America doesn’t control America. We do, us flyover people, the millions of us out here. Those on the mall were a tiny percentage of those who wanted to be there. You need to talk to your neighbors.

I noticed that, too, like they were waiting for a cue.

Most of them would rather have thrown rotten tomatoes.

This is very bad news. Obama just made enemies out of 60 % of the country who realize now that they want him gone, as of yesterday.

Of course many of us wanted him gone before his inauguration, but now the tipping point has come. And the left don’t care a wit.They will not change or compromise, and so the hatred will ramp up and up.

Where will it lead? What will America do in this ramped hatred of its own executive branch, and congress?

I have no idea.

I have never heard such a terrible speech. I am blown away by how horrible that was.

He never, never should have done this at West Point.

Yes, he looked straight into the camera for that shout out and it looked memorized too.
I did see lots of eye rolling in the audience on those few occasions when they were clapping.

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

A lot of ROEs are about to be broken. Our troops will now become fire eaters. Will it be enough? I dunno what to say.

I missed the speech but. I bet it was, ‘we will protect you from the throat-cutters and halp you get your sh** together. After that your on your own. Pay no attention to those who are watching you cooperate with us, they are just there to take care of your wife and kids after we’re gone.’ Trust us...
