LOL!

[mojitojoe]

Ah, that one! I thought you meant the troop picture.

[truthandlife]

Wow, they look really happy to see their Commander In Chief. There probably thinking to themselves if I knew I would have this kind of leader I would have never signed up for this.

[Osage Orange]

Oh brother....

That's my fault...

Sorry!

I have Fox Cable on and hearing all the 'cheering' in the background going on.

I took a look & zerO is strutting around - waving his arms while addressing the troops. The audio is terrible - think they said his mic is not hooked up to the video, so it's not clear what he is saying to them.

Wonder if there will be a transcript. I'm sure the MSM will give glowing reports. So far, the Fox reporter is saying that the troops love this CIC because he is young and in good physical condition!!

The posted pictures of the troops look like they are 'thrilled and excited' about him being there!!!!!

** Fox reporter is saying that the troops love this CIC because he is young and in good physical condition!!**

hm. Wonder if that’s a direct quote from the troops as a whole or a required statement from ‘O’s minions.

As to being in good physical condition, President Bush was in excellent condition - ran a mile in 7 minutes if I’m not mistaken. Was a little older than ‘O’ but very likely in even better condition.

W didn’t smoke.

**W didn’t smoke**

How right you are. :o)

I love the picture(s) of President Bush running with members of our military.

"hm. Wonder if that’s a direct quote from the troops as a whole or a required statement from ‘O’s minions."

Looking at the troops pictured on this thread - the troops don't look like they are 'bonding' with zerO, do they?? LOL

[Snappy1MarineMom]

LOL My son was forced to sit through that speech. He said the civilians were the only ones really clapping. He said he only clappped when zero promised them all a raise.

[Syncro]

Civilians were the only ones really clapping

The military looked quite professional, determined, and ready to fight.

The contrast between these pictures and ones posted when President Bush visited is immense.

With Bush, you knew they were ready to fight, but they showed him their happy faces and were quite relaxed in his presence.

[April Lexington]

Wow! One picture is worth a thousand words!

[mylife]

Hooahh!

[DustyMoment]

Wow! Looking at the expressions on their faces, the soldiers in these pictures look like they’d rather be on patrol or in a skirmish with al-Qaeda than listening to the Obamoron.

Obviously they were ordered to attend, but the officers know that they can’t order the troops to like their unqualified, amateur, president-in-training (PIT)!

‘W didn’t smoke’

....and W loved America and our troops more than his own popularity.

[A.A. Cunningham]

Those are Marines, not soldiers.

[Clinging Bitterly]

Early on in this Fox Radio played a bite of one of his talks before the troops. Can't remember what he said but it was reminiscent of a theme from some of Dubya’s appearances - difference coming from the mouth of 044 only a complete fool would have thought for a second it carried a molecule of sincerity. Reaction of the audience was audible and it was clearly not a good one.

Comfort is, I think, it's clear in the mind of most of those guys their oath is to protect and defend a set of laws, not a man - and should they need to make a choice sometime down the line they'll make the right one.

Tomato, tomahto. Boots on the ground are boots on the ground. “Soldiers” was used as a generic term for ground troops.
