Braking hardly: Obama's teleprompter declares war in Afghanistan then surrenders in the next breath!

Other than that, he is a military genius.

That is all.

[Izzy Dunne]

Does Bin Laden have a Teleprompter?

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

[cripplecreek]

LOL

Oh no he di’int LOL

[Jedidah]

I want to scream at that man. I HATE what he’s saying.

Lord, please help us.

[Lokibob]

Are you logged on?

....Bob

[Jedidah]

And I HATE his stupid fake accent every time he says “PAH-kee-stahn” and “TAHL-e-bahn.” What a poser.

And I’m tired of hearing the “worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.” He’s an idiot with no knowledge of history. He doesn’t even know about the Carter years.

Or maybe he does, and he’ll just repeat the lie until it’s accepted as truth — or until he manages to make it happen.

[GBA]

Other than that, he is a military genius.

And I need a drink.

I just invented a drinking game that makes watching his speech almost enjoyable.

Every time he says "Paaaaakeestan", I take a drink.

At this rate, I should pass out before this speech is over.

[Delta 21]

He sure is taking a bunch of things "very seriously" tonight.

I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.

[Senormechanico]

What’s up with this idiot?
POkystOn, but AfghanistAAAn.

What a pathetic excuse for humanity.

[240B]

Tal-ee-ban
Pak-ee-stan

Indonesian accent.

[manic4organic]

Obama, the primetime a-hole. Pre-empting Charlie Brown for his narcissistic lying.

[MinorityRepublican]

Put this into breaking.

[lacrew]

I had to watch on CNN...heavy use of crowd shots, to use Cadets as backdrop. Were Fox and others this way?

[TiredofItalltoo]

Didn’t he say the war in Iraq was wrong but we did a terrific job there?

[P.O.E.]

Funny how all this nation-building was discredited when Bush did it. Now this genius takes a year to figure out a policy, and it’s the same as the Iraq plan (turn it over to the locals, etc. etc.)

Trouble is, Afghanistan is a bunch of tribesmen, and the Iraq blueprint is inappropriate.

[tongue-tied]

Let me be clear...

My Commander In Chief, is an idiot. And I am ashamed of what he wants this country to become.

[Jedidah]

He’s using the economy as an excuse to run from terrorism. But he’ll break the bank to give every bum free healthcare.

Lord, PLEASE help us.

[hemogoblin]

I was hearing his effete, affected pronunciations over my shoulder and wanting to barf.

[Free ThinkerNY]

[Delta 21]

For the two different countries to be right next to each other, and spelled similarly, he sure does say the parts that are spelled the same, differently.

But I hear he is smarter than Spock from Star Trek so I think I will just blindly trust him.

[Jedidah]

Yes. Probably pool cameras.

[Markos33]

...he is a military genius.

[marstegreg]

They waited 1,000 years to avenge the crusades, what makes him think they won’t just lay low for 18 months, now that they know when we are leaving?

[Jedidah]

ARGHHH! We’re on good terms with the Muslim world!

[highlander_UW]

Does Obama have ADD? He can't seem to stick to a single topic...he wanders all over the place topically.

[netmilsmom]

Yeah, why doesn’t he say Awf-gon-is-ston, like he says Pock-e-ston?

And I do love the little Japanese cookies Pocky. His pronunciation reminds me to buy some.

[offduty]

If he blames the Bush Administration one more time for the war, the economy, I think I'll scream. It's amazing how quickly this poser forgets the seeds of discourse the Democrats spread to undermine the war in Iraq. I wonder how he'd react if the Corps got up and walked out on this phony.

[NightOfTheLivingDems]

Would you expect anything else from a Chicago street punk?

[RummyChick]

can’t this guy talk without a constant noise every few seconds of him hitting the podium with his hand.

[death2tyrants]

Now he’s blaming terrorism on gitmo and interrogation tactics again.

[bruinbirdman]

Practicing his Nobel Surrender Prize speech.

yitbos

[Jim Robinson]

Wonder how our anti-war left likes it now that their great anti-war hero has lied to them too?

[240B]

“Let me be clear”
is a bullshitter’s term for, “I hope they are buying this load of crap”.

This guy talking about America is nonsense. What the hell does he know about American values?

[SnuffaBolshevik]

There goes that bony snoot up in the air.

[bruinbirdman]

This thing is now 20 minutes too long and still going.

yitbos

[SunnyUsa]

that is so funny!!! lol

[freekitty]

Can’t stsnd Obama. Real loser.

[blackbart.223]

"ARGHHH! We’re on good terms with the Muslim world!"

Obama is. I'm not. And further, can't he just shut his mouth.

[GBA]

He hasn’t forgotten. He just expect us to forget. I truly hate his using those fine West Point cadets and officers as a photo op to give him credibility and some sort of twisted gravitas. He doesn’t understand or respect who they are and what they do.

[NormsRevenge]

He forgot. K.I.S.S.

[bruinbirdman]

Three fourths of the cadets are not clapping, sounds like its canned.

yitbos

[Jedidah]

Hey, Zero — the “great trial” this country is going through is YOU!

[AFreeBird]

I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.

It's just the scotch.

[offduty]

WHAT A LOSER....The only way to bring the country back together is to boot this a$$clown from office and take Frank, Pelosi, Murtha, Dodd and the other losers as well.

[I can has Low Taxes?]

Does anyone have any actual substantive comments, or are we just going to complain for this entire thread?

I’m following this on several other live blogs/forums, both left and right wing, and I’m a bit disappointed by the Freep contributions to the debate.

[machogirl]

Couldn’t take listening. Reading the take on FR.

[blackbart.223]

"Three fourths of the cadets are not clapping."

The look on their faces tells the story. Obama has just sunk lower with this speech. What a POS.

[tongue-tied]

I am getting sick. Truly, seriously, sick at hearing what this man has to say.

I hadn't planned on drinking, but this calls for a bender.

Paakistan, Taaliban, yet he still pronounces Afghanistan as we all do. Where's his middle east pronunciation of that? As they say there...Aaf-ghhan-ee-staan. (With a guttural "G").

Good lord, we are all verily screwed by this man. He hates us, he bows to everyone else, and he is spending like a fool to provide for social programs, while screwing the military budget.

I am...well, tongue tied. I am speechless from my anger. ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!

[Fred Hayek]

can’t this guy talk without a constant noise every few seconds of him hitting the podium with his hand.

Maybe he’s trying to imitate Rumsfeld. So he thinks.
