Obama Gives Himself a Shout Out While Addressing Troops: ‘We’ve Got Me In the House’

While addressing soldiers at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, the president started giving shout outs to different military units “in the house,” each time eliciting cheers from the crowd. But after calling out a couple of those names, he quickly turned to evoking his own: “And we’ve got me in the house.”

They cheered.

The Washington Free Beacon captured the moment:

Obama to troops: You've got me in the house

First he’ll want the names of everyone who voted against him.

They sure are overplaying their hand on celebrating the Bin Laden raid anniversary.

Applause under threat of Article 15.

I would not be surprised if we see a new MOS in the military.

Comrade Political Officer.

As Joe Biden told us, the raid to get Bin Laden was the most audacious military action of the last 500 years.

Yea, it was far more cunning and dangerous than Doolittle's Raid. It dwarfed the scale and epic planning and strategic deception and execution of the D-Day Invasion. The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagosaki, wasn't THAT kind of audacious?

I do not take anything away from the Bin Laden coupe. It was certainly daring and a terrifying testiment to our enemies about the capabilities of America's finest. It also sent one hell of a message to the world, "Don't doubt what America will do or what we are capable of." Obama should get the credit as he is the sitting president and he did give the go order.

Frankly, Obama's war record with regards to the aggressive hunt and killing of terrorist is worthy of respect. He may have taken enhanced interrogation off the table but he did implement a "kill them all" strategy, which can be just as effective when terrorist are deciding who should be in charge next and whose house should be base for planning purposes.

However, his leadership with regards to Iran and N. Korea is abysmal. Maybe he will yet surprise us with those situations (I actually do hope).

One of our resident Photoshop experts need to update this pic to reflect Obama. It definitely fits his opinion of himself.

If he loses, he’s got 2 and a half months. I, too, have wondered what he might do.

Do the troops actually like this guy?

A lot do. Momma Obama interacts a lot with active duty families, while some of the active duty are bewitched by Obama’s charm and “sincerity”.

The man is a disgrace to his race. The human race.

Several alien races have also expressed disapproval.

And more generally, I think it's time for this whole "shout-out" thing, from what are supposed to be responsible public figures, to end. You didn't just, finally, get called up on "The Price is Right," and getting people to cheer for themselves ought to stop when they leave elementary school.

Obama’s favorite words — “I” and “Me”

What a disgusting piece of human excrement he is.

“Frankly, Obama’s war record with regards to the aggressive hunt and killing of terrorist{s?} is worthy of respect.”
