Obama under fire for being 'proud generally' of troops
Washington Examiner ^ | 03/13/12 | Paul Bedard

President Obama's comments to a Denver TV station that he is "proud generally" of U.S. forces in Afghanistan is angering his conservative critics who were already riled by his apology over the accidental burning of Quorans by troops.

"Generally proud of our troops? What a loser," said nationally syndicated radio host Michael Brown, the former Bush-era FEMA boss. "I am generally disgusted by this man."

Katie Pavlich, the news editor of the conservative website Townhall, added, "The calculated shooting of innocent civilians is nothing to be proud of, however, President Obama's generalization of the U.S. military as a whole because of this isolated incident is disturbing."

There isn't much, if anything, about America that either of them actually like or have pride in.

They make a half-hearted effort of pretending once in a while but they can't hide their deep rooted disdain and dislike.

LOL. A picture is worth a thousand words.

“proud generally”? He is not fit to be the CinC. And that’s the most polite thing I can say.

you've got that right...none of them look like they're being addressed by someone they respect...they look on alert as if the enemy is in their midst

mho

I’m extremely proud of our troops. I am extremely disappointed in the POTUS moronic statement. He has reached rock bottom and continually tries to dig.

So, will the troops ever do anything about barry? These poor young men. Worry is written all over their faces. They are drawn, notice the hands over the mouths, the sideward looks even though the POS is directly in front of them. Pitiful, just pitiful.

He pontificates to them and they doubt every word.

Sort of like when Moochelle was “proud” of her country “for the first time in her adult life” - only after Obambi was nominated.

This comment will ensure he will never be elected again! Conservatives couldn't come up with better reason to give people NOT to vote for such a loser!

My raggedy ass dog will get elected to POTUS before this derelict ever does again!

If only you were right.

The average American won’t hear this comment. And if they do, it will be presented quickly, in a throw away fashion so as to not point out what it really means.

Gingrich would have this stored, and ready as ammo for his presidential run. Romney is too “civilized”.

His comments are exhibit one for what I and others have been saying all along. The man is not very intelligent and he has a tin ear. I KNOW he isn’t smart enough to say this kind of stuff as a political tool to massage his base....he is an idiot of the first degree.

Drudge has this picture of Afghans burning Barky in effigy.



The similarity is striking. It does look like a giant turd.
