"CHRISTMASTIME IS HERE"

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year

Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share

Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there

Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year...

[Allison_Wonderland]

let me be clear....

As I’ve said before...

Hey, where is that Obama bingo card?

[BuckyKat]

Leave off the “jack” and add a suffix that rhymes with mole and I might agree with you.

[Sarah Barracuda]

He knows what he’s saying. Every time an American soldier dies, he high fives his communist buddies. It’s ALL about him

[spectre]

They hate him

[tiredoflaundry]

I betcha he has on Mohamed underware on....

[fhayek]

"Always consider the long term consequences of our actions"

BWAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAHAAA!

[maggief]

I, I, I, I, I, I ...

[Right_in_Virginia]

“In 18 months our troops will begin to come home”.

(Repeating it in case our enemies missed that nugget.)

[LA Woman3]

Those poor cadets having to sit there and listen to BHO.

[nascarnation]

I see firsthand the terrible weight of the war

[MikeGranby]

He sees first hand the ravages of war???

[Diogenesis]

20:11 Pres_ _ent Obama blames GOP for war.
(smirks), calls them “partisans”, then talks about
how HE has visited military caskets, etc.

[South40]

It’s not as if you’re ever going to get any surprises with this guy.

I don't know; I'm surprised he's going to send more troops to Afghanistan.

[jennyjenny]

You haven’t seen jack, bambi! Shut up.

[Dinah Lord]

This is just disgusting.

It’s SO all about him ALL the time, isn’t it?

[pyx]

Has ZERO lost what part of a mind he may still have ?

I ask because, ZERO has just announced to the enemy that he is pulling troops out of Afghanistan by the end of 2011. He just announced to the enemy to hang on or dig in for a specific period of time. ZERO's "strategy" is pathetic and is almost unbelievable but then, he is from the LEFT.

[SE Mom]

This is why I don’t listen to him most of the time- I can FEEL my blood pressure rising.

OMG- He has sent letters of condolence to the families of the fallen...........AND HE wants to be SURE we KNOW IT.

This speech is directed singly to the Daily Kos, et al.

[Robwin]

“He’s seen first hand the terrible wages of war” which means he watched some Oliver Stone movie about ‘Nam.
