I am sure you are right that his evening at West Point was a great shock to him. He never imagined, much less encountered, a room full of students aspiring to put their whole lives, and if called on give their very lives, for duty, honor and country. It had to make his life, not just his speech, seem trivial, paltry and, to use your word, picayune. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Obama should spend three days a week at West Point, maybe it would rub off.LOL.
He sure picked the right place to make his announcement. LOL. He saw with whom, "the force is strong."
Yoda would be pleased with the quaking now present in the dark side.
We conservatives should take heart and use that same moral force: duty, honor, country, to further dissemble the left.
LOL
Yes, screwed, they shall be, for in them, the truth is not.
