Michael Hastings' new book, The Operators, jabs at what could be a vulnerable spot for the Obama Administration, the president's relationship with the troops.
The book describes a visit to Baghdad:
After the talk, out of earshot from the soldiers and diplomats, he starts to complain. He starts to act very un-Obamalike, according to a U.S. embassy official who helped organize the trip in Baghdad.
He’s asked to go out to take a few more pictures with soldiers and embassy staffers. He’s asked to sign copies of his book. “He didn’t want to take pictures with any more soldiers; he was complaining about it,” a State Department official tells me. “Look, I was excited to meet him. I wanted to like him. Let’s just say the scales fell from my eyes after I did. These are people over here who’ve been fighting the war, or working every day for the war effort, and he didn’t want to take f---ing pictures with them?"
We knew Clinton hated us and used us as a handy stage prop whenever he felt threatened by his critics.
We know Obama hates us as well.
Actually, that is quite Obama-like. Actually it is the essence of Obama.

Gosh! Imagine my surprise! I could almost believe “Ulsterman”s “Washington Insider” stories.
I still wonder about the internet rumor being passed around in the nineties that when he was visiting the troops, Our Bill demanded that the Secret Service make sure they had no ammunition in their magazines. President Caligula afraid of his centurions...
I’m thinking this time around it just might be true.
That’s why the left is trying to destroy the military any way they can.
G-d forgive me for the things I think and feel when I read stuff like this.
....do I have to?"
I begged to differ with you. He's also a grifting, lying, conniving, racist, Marxist POS.
All of the above!
Spot on!
And the Obama campaign is officialy started! This will start to pull his fringe-kook base back in (from Paul). Look for O to close Gitmo before the election to get them fully on-board.

They can smell the BS a mile away!
Take 2 minutes to watch this comparison between George Bush’s visit to the Marines vs. Obama’s recent trip. It is incredible.
Thanks for posting this - I saw it on Drudge and came here to see if anyone posted it.
It’s proof positive that this admin is as much or more anti-military than the Clintons and yet they continue to exploit the troops - watch how they use another military wife at the Dem Convention.
And watch how they persecute the marines who peed on the Taleeeebahn bodies - this admin will fight the marines more than the enemy - we need to stand up!!!!!!
And also boo on the senior officers who help him do it and if you’re ever at any events they are at, never let them forget...that includes VFW, DAV, American Legion, anywhere they show up!!!!!!
Of course he was cranky......NO Ladyboys to entertain him!!!!!!!!!
I know well what the military thinks of the Cretin-in-Chief.
And I don’t have enough four letter words to even partially describe those feelings.
May he rest in h....er....Mecca.
