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.

The problem with “Bob” is just because your older doesn’t make you smarter. The left is imploding because they are very naive. Obama got briefed on the situation and must respond. We knew that that terrorism would reach the US, we just didn’t know when. The left is about as stupid as they come.

Not only that, he did not end the speech with ‘God bless our Troops’.

The idiot doesn’t know American Protocol because he was raised to hate it, and not even Emanuel or Axlerod knows protocol enough to warn him.

No wonder our allies laugh at him.

When you seek out Marxist professors so you don’t feel like a sell out you don’t get much on American protocol. Or American anything.

Looks like Tom and Dennis have their backs turned to the Obozo. I’d do the same.

Thank you for the links to Bush’s wonderful speeches. How quickly our country forgot how proud we were of him at that time.

This picture screams volumes about the Obamination's true feelings for our military. It's right there, in his eyes.

My heart breaks for the men and women who have to call that evil man their CiC.

Indeed! The subject of the thread is not “Revisionist History of The Gulf War - Iraq War Years.” Although I’m sure 0ba-Mao’s Marxist professors are working up that curriculum as we speak.

The picture of the night!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here’s a clear-thinking cadet who was in the audience sending a clear message of unwavering resolve. Matthews won’t get a leg tingle, but he might wet his pants over it:

A U.S. Army cadet reads a book entitled "Kill Bin Laden" as he waits with other cadets for U.S. President Barack Obama to deliver an address on U.S. policy and the war in Afghanistan at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, New York December 1, 2009.

It’s a great photo and it’s a good thing for the cadet that the media was kind enough to make certain the caption accurately pointed out he was reading BEFORE the speech.

I think you might be right ............. ;)

“Don’t think we’re not keeping score, brother.”

That’s what President Barack Obama said to Rep. Peter DeFazio in a closed-door meeting of the House Democratic Caucus last week, according to the Associated Press.
