Our Commander-in-Chief, Too - Conservative vets will give Obama the chance Democrats denied Bush.

Come on Old Sarge, give the boy a chance.

I have given Obama a chance already. Here is my conclusion: Gaza is Obama’s fault. The economy is not fixed yet and that is Obama’s fault. The US Airways flight that sucked them birds in is Obama’s fault. Almost the entire United States is experiencing cold weather. This is Obama’s fault. We are supposed to be experiencing global warming.

I have given him a chance already and he is failing. All he does is hold a press conference looking for the next photo op to go down in history. He aint fixed nothing yet.

It is Obama’s fault from this day forward.

Here is what Obama thinks of our Military:

Please note: he will slow the development of future combat systems.

I am with you OLD SARGE.

Global cooling is upon us

Full text of Mayor Bloomberg's State of the City Speech The Twilight Zone might be upon us.

Bill would pull plug on reloading

Some noteworthy articles about politics, foreign and military affairs, IMHO, FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.

I am so afraid my son will try to join the military. Not a lot of options for him, but I will do anything in my power to dissuade him. His dad was in the Navy, so he thinks of it as being an opportunity. I cannot allow him to serve under the new CIC(I Hate saying that man’s name).

Thanks a lot for reawakening my suppressed Hellenologophobia,

“If President Obama’s policies work toward the long-term security of our country, we will happily defend him against those who would seek to score short-term political points.”

Big mistake.

[Impy]

I fear this may be a big problem. He’ll be terrible for recruitment and retention. Who the hell wants to be bound by law to obey him? Not the 18 year olds who voted for him, that’s for sure.

[McCloud-Strife]

Obama should be good for retention with the old timers nearing retirement. I for one don’t want his signature on my papers to be honest. Looks like I am in at least another four. Assuming that is, he does not eliminate my job, unit, branch just for fun.

[Lancey Howard]

Thank the scumbag Democrats for politicizing the military through their constant “blame America first” tirades. Obama will never be this old Marine’s president.

Real America is dead and gone, anyway. All that’s left is a land mass populated by selfish cretins and parasites who have absolutely no respect for the military and who vote for big government to confiscate money from their neighbors and “redistribute” it to them. It hardly seems like an America worth defending anymore.

I recommend that anybody currently serving in the military find a way to get out as quickly as possible, especially before Obama sends them off on UN “peacekeeping” missions to Rwanda or Darfur, armed only with rubber bullets and trash bags.

[Lancey Howard]

Hey, I heard you! Good call!

[Impy]

“I for one don’t want his signature on my papers to be honest. “

That means a lot to you huh. Well I hope for everyone’s sake it 4 and not 8.

[Viet Vet in Augusta GA]

You salute and respect the uniform, not the man.
I don’t like O either, but I served under Johnson and Nixon.
Respect and obedience is due the office of CIC, not the man occupying it.

Democrats aren't going to be as nice to opposing nonprofits as Republicans were. The new bailout even gives money to liberal nonprofits. We are going to see a lot of desperation out of conservative nonprofits in the next few months.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[originalbuckeye]

Thanks! When I asked about Pelosi shutting out the Republicans he started complaining about DeLay. I brought up Gingrich and he still complained about DeLay. I wished I had said ‘yeah, you and your willing accomplices in Big Media got rid of Gingrich, didn’t you? You all deserved DeLay’. IIRC, Gingrich resigned the Speakership due to receiving a $300,000 advance on a book. Hillary! received an $8,000,000 advance but that was OK to the Dems as she hadn’t actually been sworn in as Senator yet. Glaring double-standard.

[Squantos]

LMAO !!

[speekinout]

I love this. We’ve just been through 8 years of clinton hating and 8 years of bush hating. That’s hurt us all. I surely will give Obama a chance. If he manages to keep us safe for another 4 years, and keeps our military in fighting form, I will give him credit for that.
I don’t want another food fight. I will reluctantly get in one if it looks like Obama is trying to decimate our military power, but I’m going to wait until he is inaugurated before I assume that he’ll be a disaster.

[gargoyle]

...Bravo, I agree with yer, this is not the time for mutiny...
