....Obama is coming to West Point Wednesday to give the graduation address....
...excitement over West Point graduation tends to focus more on the cadets than on the speaker...

LOL! Great idea!
You have got to be kidding me. This is the speech a president gives in the first year or two of his presidency -- the Iraq War and Afghanistan ended with Bush for all intents and purposes. Yet here we are, almost to the end of the Obama debacle, and he is "laying out a broad vision of his approach to foreign policy for the remaining two and a half years of his presidency, in the wake of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan." It means he has done nothing useful over the past 6 years.
I’m not going to argue that. You have to admit, though, that his election was not entirely legit. If you set aside fraud, you still have the media conspiracy to lie about his record and ignore anything that would be harmful to him. That being true, “WE” didn’t put him in there. This was nothing short of a coup. The cadets don’t know all that. You’d have to spend a lot of time on FR to know that. For all they know, he’s the legitimate president, constitutionally elected by the people, but in reality, they should shun him as an enemy and a criminal.
When I graduated we had the former president of the school speak, the next year’s class had then president GWB.
I see that point, believe me. And don’t underestimate the kids. They get their news from the source, unfiltered.
But if we cannot keep some incompetent anti American from taking office, we’d better look somewhere else than the military, certainly a group of academy new grads to get our views known.
...the majority of their mandatory service won’t be under him.

That remains to be seen. Or maybe it will be under Michelle....
I would love to see the cadets file in silently...and then remain completely silent and emotionless during all of Obama’s interaction with them. That would be dramatic!
The good news for the graduating classes at Annapolis and the Air Force Academy: Obama is going to West Point this year.
The bad news? The midshipmen at the USNA got stuck with Chuck Hagel, while the zoomies at the AFA wound up with Joe Biden.
I’ll go out on a limb and say the speeches will probably be the low point of graduation week at all three schools. Incidentally, the commencement speaker at the Coast Guard Academy was Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, one of Obama’s political lackeys. I’m sure that was an inspirational address.
Kudos to grads from each graduating class at the academies this year. They deserve plaudits for a job well done and embarking on a career of service to our nation. Just a shame that they have to listen to one of those hacks before getting their diploma and commission.
I was an OTS product. Didn’t have to worry about sitting through some politician’s “speech” before we got our gold bars.
IMHO, the entire Corps of Cadets, Superintendent and cadres are in violation of the Honor Code.
The Honor Code was never developed to allow homosexuals into the Corps. That it has been usurped by “modernists” renders it worthless.
And now the islamist enemy comes to call, who, like “Predator” further peruses the skulls of those he would murder.
The excitement: “That a**hole will snarl traffic for the whole day!”
They wouldn’t. Attending graduation is mandatory for cadets. UCMJ applies to them too.
Even the applause will be compelled to a certain extent.
Agreed.
Booing the Benghazi Coward in Chief Obama would feel good at the time, but these are not times of free speech.
Sickening in light of Benghazi.
Obozamma is yammering now...
He said that during WWII the US Govt did not understand the operations, sent military into bad situations without reviewing outcomes...that we did NOT have a joint operation with other nations???? Uh, we were the “ALLIES”...
Doesn’t want to send military all over the place to solve world’s problems. Not our job...unless US interests are threatened...Uh, Obozo, LIBERTY is always in the interest of PEOPLE!!
Filthy disgusting LIAR!!
After embarrassing pause it sounded as if only 2 people clapped to break the silence.
I just saw him sitting there, chin tilted up like a Third World dictator.......oh wait....
Now he is defending his foreign policies. Poor graduates. They expect a congratulatory speech not one making excuses!
What a small man BO is! I am so ashamed of him and those who put him in Office. I forced myself to watch.....I’m gone now!
He just said he is going to arm Syrian “rebels”...AKA, Muzzie Brotherhood. I thought we had AlQaeda on the run??
Then for more transparency,
He will make the Military the spokesman.
So the Military leaders are now co-opted and made a part of the Regieme?
