President Obama needed a little help from the troops in Afghanistan on Friday as he thanked the military branches for their work but forgot to mention the Coast Guard.

“I think we've got every service here tonight,” Obama said at Bagram Air Base. He then called on the branches as their members cheered: “We’ve got Army. We’ve got Navy. We’ve got Air Force. I think we may have a few Marines around, too.”

Moving to his remarks, Obama said, “Now, here in Afghanistan ...” Then, someone in the crowd shouted out, “Coast Guard!”

Your sarcasm will not be appreciated by tHE oNE. He is SO super-smart that such trivial oversights happen simply because he thinks so damned fast...

The Coast Guard in Afghanistan?

I wonder if it was a Navy CorpseMan who hollered it out.

Right now, someone in Bagram is collecting on a bet...

As an ex-Coastie, I’d say the CG is better off when he forgets about them. :-)

As much as I can’t stand Obama, I think this accusation is a little over the top. One, the Coast Guard was not there, and two, when others slip up and not mention the Coast Guard we don’t treat it like a mortal sin. Like in this Great! Gene Simmons tribute to the Military, that we were all on here a few weeks ago going crazy about. Nobody mentioned he didn’t mention the Coast Guard.
