While addressing soldiers at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, the president started giving shout outs to different military units “in the house,” each time eliciting cheers from the crowd. But after calling out a couple of those names, he quickly turned to evoking his own: “And we’ve got me in the house.”
They cheered.
The Washington Free Beacon captured the moment:
Obama to troops: You've got me in the house
Avast antivirus stopped the link from downloading a virus.
Racial Demographic, single mothers, and perfumed princes looking for political leverage.
Not at all. You don't have to applaud. You just can't be insubordinate. I'd love to know how many of them cheered without really listening, thinking he'd just said some other unit or something like that...
“...As Joe Biden told us, the raid to get Bin Laden was the most audacious military action of the last 500 years....”
The Isreali raid on Entebee was a pretty good military action. Total death toll in the raid was less than ten, IIRC. Carried out in total secrecy and succeeded.
Feel sorry for those poor guys; clearly they were FORCED to attend. As if working 16 hour days/7 days a week isn’t enough punishment! Did they have to leave their weapons outside again???
Perhaps the Bradley Manning types.
Wow, that was a tepid response.
“And we’ve got me in the house.”
It was a Howard Dean moment
It well may be the case that Obama had Osama taken out only as a ‘symbolic payback’ for his (bin Laden) going against the Soviets in the 80s. It did take place on commie May Day. Commies are big on symbolism, and ‘special dates’ and anniversaries. Perhaps his pal KGB Putin asked him to do it. There are also reports that the Russians trained al-qaueda #2 prior to 911 (”dead men tell no tales”?) Obama obviously has no problem with terrorists attacking the Pentagon or other US military facilities. He launched his political career in the living room of Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. His “spiritual adviser” of twenty plus years said we deserved 911: “America’s chickens...are coming home...TO ROOST”. He’s currently bending over backwards to strengthen Putin. Putin is planning a return of the Soviet Union. Obama (in the 80s) and his late “Uncle Frank” (Frank Marshall Davis) are/were diehard supporters of the communist Soviet Union.
My o’ my
My o’ my
Yeah, sure it was. I'm sure that some officials high in the Paki Gov/Military were in on it($), and held back the Cops/Troops from coming to that compound until we had left. Meantime China is reverse engineering our stealth Copter.
interesting video

Did he really? Even assuming ignorance of most of that time period, surely a man of Joe Biden's generation has heard of the Doolittle Raid ... or if he wanted some anti-American points, the attack on Pearl Harbor!
I wonder if Slow Joe is really *that stupid*, or if it doesn't gall him, in his secret heart, to have to suck up to Chicago's Mister Fabulous 2008.

From the unreliable Wikipedia:
In AD 40, Caligula began appearing in public dressed as various gods and demigods such as Hercules, Mercury, Venus and Apollo. Reportedly, he began referring to himself as a god when meeting with politicians and he was referred to as Jupiter on occasion in public documents.
And this:
Caligula had the heads removed from various statues of gods and replaced with his own in various temples. It is said that he wished to be worshipped as Neos Helios, the New Sun. Indeed, he was represented as a sun god on Egyptian coins.
And this:
Caligula's religious policy was a departure from that of his predecessors. According to Cassius Dio, living Emperors could be worshipped as divine in the east and dead Emperors could be worshipped as divine in Rome. Augustus had the public worship his spirit on occasion, but Dio describes this as an extreme act that emperors generally shied away from. Caligula took things a step further and had those in Rome, including Senators, worship him as a physical living god.
Thanks - I was pretty PO’d by this - I needed a chuckle...
They were probably just ‘sighting’ him in.!
For that reason he really needs to stay on script. It's easy to tell when he goes off: I, me, my are every fifth word. Why should we be so impressed when a sociopath orders a killing? Because he has all the executive talent of Jimmy Carter?
It would be fascinating to find out who directs and writes the scripts. Who is behind the curtain? It certainly isn't the shell brand "Barky".
Obama is such a douchebag.
Stat psych consult!
