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.

Because he doesn’t believe them, and was never brought up as an “American”.

You’re a brave man for watching that bunch of leftist fags.

Have an extra shot of Pepto Bismol on me.

And they said Bush was the devil... the left loved this video before; I wonder who they think of now when they hear the lyrics?

As Megadeth would say, ‘Peace Sells’. /s

I just checked the transcript: ZERO USE OF “WIN” OR “VICTORY”. Heaven help us all.

Thank you. I appreciate having my recollection verified by cold facts. I can now run with that with full confidence.

Unfortunately I have no confidence from the meaning of the speech which needs no fact checking. We are indeed in deep doo. Heaven help our courageous young warriors most of all.

CNN—On Wolf Blitzer, discussing the speech tonight, Gerghan looks at all on set and says many of us here have advised the president about Afghanistan.....

Get it on big boy and start with telling me that preemption doctrine is OK for us but no good for China?

No, there is nothing American about him. He could have the most solid BC possible but his heart and mind are foreign.

NEVER! In fact, *this* speech, whomever
conceived and wrote it, is an abomination
that shouldn’t have been given anywhere.

If there’s anything our enemies can spot,
it’s weakness ... he oozes with it .. every
inch and pore of his arrogant persona.

God help us all.

I missed Bill slamming Barry but heard the end when he then flipped and defended him for wanting to pull the troops out because “we’ve been there long enough and it’s time the Afghanis pull their weight...” And I believe I also heard him again call him “bright and charismatic.”

I hear Obama wants to have his face etched into Mt Rushmore.

(or somewhere in the Black Hills of the midwest).

The difference is a man with a heart and soul as opposed to a person with evil, avarice, and ignorance in his being.

... and no inborn love for America.

I noticed the ethnicity of the crowd, the yawns, the dosers, and the “I’m being forced to applause” types.
They didn’t dream of being under his command. The troops always pushed to get ahead and shake GWB’s hand...no bum rush here.
