Read the comments and heartily agree with the majority of them. The only reason OhVomit shoild have been invited was to be horsewhipped then hanged for being a traitor.

[ It would be nice if Oliver North asks for obama to explain where he was on 9-1-2012 when Americans were being shot at and killed with many wounded in Benghazi and just where are the survivers. Ask him if he enjoyed the party the next day and why he punished those that tried to rescue the Americans. Ask him to explain all the weapons going to the terrorists, the overthrow of gov’ts so the muslim brotherhood could take over etc etc etc. ]

After that he should then Dare Obama to take his pension away from him like what has been threatned by his admin to all the admirals inthe serivce currently.

I can’t bear to listen to him anymore. I immediately change the channel or turn off the sound when he starts in.

...the nation's commander-in-chief...

He is NOT the NATION's commander-in-chief! He is commander-in-chief of the ARMED FORCES only.

Does North have the courage to say that Obama is an illegal alien, a foreign agent, a Saudi plant, the only survivor of a group of eight men the Saudis groomed for the White House?

The VA had better be ready to address a major veteran barf outbreak.

I usually do too , but today I thought I’d give hi 5 minutes and at the end of the 5 mins I thought are these people stupid or ignorant to applaud him and what a massive liar he is.
I went out to vote right after and have not put the news on yet

In that audience I’d speculate that 99 percent of the attendees would alos like those questions answered, publically.

"He will be preceded by the great LtCol Oliver North. Let’s hope North pulls no punches!"

--------------------------------->

In my dreams, I'd like to see LtCol Oliver North THROW a punch.

And, in my dream...I smile....

They’ll probably be polite, but they shouldn’t be. They should boo him and shout him down.
