The difference in garb really rubs it in. If this were GWB he’d have a raincoat or sumfin on himself.


Well, it isn’t Bush and comparisons are worthless at this point.

This man is disgusting. He did this just like he uses his middle finger to scratch his face (who does that) when he wants to send a subtle insult to someone (remember Hillary, Romney?) He is an incourageable, impertinent child who is still trying to get attention and prove he is special like he learned to do when he was a little boy whose mother abandoned him, his father ignored him, and whose grandparents got stuck raising him. What a heartful of hate he carries.

Bush out classes Obama in any way you can possibly think. What do you mean no comparison, are you being kitten silly?

Well... I would say he needs a psychiatrist, but he really needs to come sincerely to Jesus Christ. He’s so full of spiritual holes he is like the swiss cheese of soul.

That depends, LOL.

Do you disagree that there is no comparison between Bush and Obama?

Can you compare an avocado to a grape?

Suffice to say, we are on the same page.

A rotten avocado and a big huge yummy fresh grape... I guess they are biomass, that’s about the only similarity.

I was so damned tempted to Photoshop these images to correct them but had to restrain myself. I’m sure they would come after me.

It’s gotta be a drag being trained as a marine, only to be used by the C in C as a prop.

The Marine did fine. It’s not his fault that the CIC is a classless clown with no clue about military regulations or tradition.

To Obama, the Marines are merely a prop, a photo op. He even said that the Marines would “look good” standing next to the two heads of state...in his mind, better than an aide in a suit. Then the jerk added insult to injury by placing his hands on the Marine to position him.

IMHO, Obama comes off looking like a pussy Persian Sultan, and it was certainly a dumb move given the scandals that have finally surfaced this week. In a broader sense, it makes me convinced even more deeply that Obama could write off an ambasodor and some former SEALs under attack as mere “props”, expendables of no concern other for how they made him look.

Yes, it makes me furious, but however he did it, Obama got sworn in, so the Marine did right.

The point we need to repeat over and over is that he had no problem deploying Marines when he was getting wet, but when someone else was being attacked by terrorists, he refused to deploy them.

He cares more about whether he gets wet in the rain than he does about whether Americans die during a terrorist attack in Benghazi.

Thats it,,,play stupid. If you want to use the full word, fine, but this is the internet, so guess who’s watching. If you want a SWAT team kicking your door in at 1 a.m. with guns blazing, hey, go for it.

The Marine is a corporal.

A Corporal is an NCO - noncommissioned officer.

ROTFLMAO!

I said:
“It’s like he, and his administration is openly inviting assasination attempts.”


Kind of like how “insane” this POTUS and his Administration are in blaming a little known You-Tube video for the murederous terrorist attacks on State Department and CIA compounds in Benghazi on 9/11/2012 ?
Or as the insane thinking that a cartoon printed somewhere in Europe justifies riots throughout the Islamic nations, because of mild insults?

Do you mean that level of insane?

Or do you just mean I should STFU, lest merely stating the opinion that this administration is itching to provoke an “incident” to use all that ammo they have purchased against USA citizens, is now somehow subversive?

Not much of a chessplayer, are you chessplayer?

This POTUS, and his entire adminstration stated it is perfectly logical to think that random people who merely heard a story about an offensive video, were incited to murderous riots and mayhem in other countries, but we should all respect their opinions and not place any judgement on them. After all it is a cultural thing we must respect....

You can twist yourself into.... oblivion for all I care.

P.J. O'Rourke once wrote about a trip to the almost bare rock called Iwo Jima. There was a group Marines there at the same time, sleeping in tents in the triple digit heat, and hiking up volcanic Mt. Suribachi before dawn so they could watch the sun rise from its summit. A Marine representative explained that the trip to Iwo Jima was a reward for outstanding young Marines

P.J. wondered, if getting sent to live in a tent on a tropical rock, in the summer, and spending the night climbing a mountain composed of sharp and abrasive volcanic stones, in the dark, in stifling heat, and 100% humidity, was a reward for outstanding service, just what the Marine Corps did to junior enlisted men it was not pleased with...
