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.

3 minutes- for him- that’s on time.

The audience did not have many smiling faces.

He'll claim a standing ovation.

At least he was on time for a change.

They didn’t look too enthused to me!

Gag me - did he just call Islam one of the world’s great religions?

He doesn’t give a damn about the troops, only himself. “Its all about me me me” he is nothing but a lying sack of crap

Murdered? MURDERED????

No, Mr. President, they ATTACKED our country- it wasn’t a criminal act. It was an act of WAR.

Unreal.

Well, at least the d+ckhead admits Congress and the WH were 9/11 targets.

First speech I’ve ever watched of his.

MINIMAL applause. Thinking of their careers, they gave the bare minimum to not make him look like the complete tool he is.

Hooray for Captain Spaulding, The African explorer.
He brought his name undying fame
And that is why we say, Hooray, Hooray, Hooray.

This was Groucho’s theme for “You Bet Your Life.”
