Live Thread: Barack Obama Afghan Speech 8 p.m. EST - "Hello I Must Be Going"
Tuesday, December 1, 2009 | Kristinn

Live from New York...it's Barack Obama!

On the banks of the Hudson River at West Point, Obama will give his military strategy for Afghanistan, based on the tactical genius of Capt. Spaulding, aka Groucho Marx:

Hello, I Must Be Going

Oh dear, he is coming, At last he's here.

(Spaulding) Hello, I must be going, I cannot stay, I came to say, I must be going. I'm glad I came, but just the same I must be going. La La.

(Mrs. Rittenhouse) For my sake you must stay. If you should go away, You'd spoil this party I am throwing.

(Spaulding) I'll stay a week or two, I'll stay the summer thru, But I am telling you, I must be going.

(All) Before you go, Will you oblige us, And tell us of your deeds so glowing?

(Spaulding) I'll do anything you say, In fact I'll even stay!

(All) Good!

(Spaulding) But I must be going.

Are some cadets looking down/closing eyes on purpose? Or are they napping?

They are praying.

This thing sounds like a High School graduation speech.

A BAD one!

My God, Obama has in one speech confused and demoralized our fighting men and women....there is nothing uplifting, nothing energizing, nothing compelling about what this “gifted” man is saying tonight.

I wish he had phoned it in.

Empty barrels make the most noise, the nuns always said.

Was that clapping because he’s almost done? It didn’t sound very enthusiastic.

Absolutely correct!

This guy will sacrifice anything; an economy, troops,jobs,a way of life, anything for the sake of advancing socialism/Communism,it's their way.

LOL

He stopped, waited for applause.

They finally applauded — they thought he was finished.

He wasn’t.
