Obama refers to 'my military' at Medal of Honor ceremony (Video)(3rd time)
Examiner.Com ^ | October 16, 2013

On Tuesday, Barack Obama presented the Medal of Honor -- the nation's highest military honor -- to Army Captain William D. Swenson. But for the third time, Obama referred to "my military" during the ceremony, according to a transcript at the official website of the U.S. Army.

"So, Will Swenson was there for his brothers. He was there for their families. As a nation, we thank God that patriots like him are there for us all. So, Will, God bless you and all the men you've fought alongside, and for everything you've done for us. God bless all of our men and women in uniform. God bless the United States of America," he said.

"With that, I'd like my military to read the citation please," he added.

The reference also showed up in a transcript at ABC News.

"It’s not a 'slip of the tongue,'" said a post at the Tea Party News Network, citing the fact that Obama has used the phrase multiple times.

Swensen looked like he hated the fact that Obama was giving him the medal. He has more integrity and honor in his little finger than the whole worthless Obama family.

I hope all GIs read this and their hearts swell with pride to know that they are owned by their CinC and that he considers them chattel.

The Thug In Chief seems to be trying to make it “his” military, what with the firing of generals, inclusion of openly avowed sodomites, etc. Gang tactics.

Noticably absent of any responsibility for ‘his’ military when the dear leader refused to pay death benefits for ‘his’ military a few weeks ago.

He really thinks like a Roman Emperor:

"Quintili Vare, legiones redde!“ ('Quintilius Varus, give me back my legions!') -- Caesar Augustus, after the defeat at Teutoburgerwald Forest.

He’s making it his military to fire upon U.S. citizens.

Exactly as any tin-pot dictator in Africa would have said it.

He treats his dog better than he treats “his” military.

The Communist residing in the Peoples House thinks and acts like a Communist. Can the Ethiopian change his skin?Or the leopard it’s spots? Then too shall you do do that are schooled to do evil. Of course the enemy foreign or domesticated refers to it as “my military” Just as the NationalParks are “his” to barricade.Just as the National Mall is “his to barricade—or open for the useful idiots.Just as our Laws and Our constitution are “his “ to either enforce—or change—or just ignore.He can’t think outside his zipper.
