COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- President Obama told Air Force Academy cadets Wednesday America was stronger and more respected around the world than ever before despite impending cuts to the nation's armed forces. The president delivered the commencement address to over 1,000 graduates at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo. "Around the world there is a new feeling about America," he told cadets. "There is a new confidence in our leadership.

"Today I think we can say with pride that America is stronger and safer and more respected in the world," Obama added.He noted the class of 2012 would be the first to "graduate into a world where no Americans are fighting in Iraq and where Usama bin Laden is no longer a threat to our country."

Each of Newt, Santorum, Perry, Bachman, et al had shortcomings that as candidates...and as conservatives.

I agree with that. Another poster mentioned Dem crossover voters who wanted to shut out any conservative which I'm sure was a factor.

All candidates have shortcomings, as I'm sure you'll concede, but who are those who do not have major shortcomings? Rubio too young and inexperienced, ditto Paul Ryan. I could go on and it would be easy to cite shortcomings for any potential candidate. Even Ronald Reagan had shortcomings. Abraham Lincoln is my favorite historical figure and he is pilloried with regularity for his shortcomings on FR.

There is a new confidence in our leadership!

Certainly not in your leadership which is ZERO .
How any sane human being can vote for this man is a mystery.

Don’t be so sure.
The Air Force Academy now has a site on campus for Wiccans to practice their “religion”. Then there are the pervert homosexuals on campus.
The progressives have been progressively destroy Americas once fine military.

” More respected...” We have a Russian General publicly threatening to bomb US defensive missile sites in Europe while his country plays footsie with Iran and Syria. We have China thwarting our policies in N Korea, Syria and Iran. Pakistan denies us over the road Afghan resupply while jailing the Pakistani who helped find Bin Laden. Two bit countries like Iran, India and Venezuela suck up to the Iranians while ignoring our pleas for sanctions....What on earth is he talking about?

I wonder how obama was received by the crowd, that was in essence, held captive to listen to him.

Barry is likely green with jealousy about how much the Military loves Bush and cannot help himself but to put Bush down in front of them. He is actually a demon in disguise, one filled with jealousy, pride and unholy contempt. As a Christian with the gift of spiritual discernment I can literally, at times, see and hear it. It is detectable on a spiritual level much of the time.

“The sad thing is that in the short run Obama’s probably right.”

No, not even in the short run. America is NOT safer, stronger or more respected since BHO’s been CIC.

But he knows this - and is smirking about it.

"The sad thing is that in the short run Obama’s probably right. Bush made some terrible foreign policy and military blunders and Obama’s abominable moves like the gaying of the military wont have full effect until years later. "

The "dumbass" post of the month. There is so much COS in your comment that bandwidth restrictions defies a detailed response.

Zer0 would never get the security clearance to do anything in the military. I remember the questionnaire I filled out to get my top secret clearance. I heard from my neighbors who got visits from government agents to look into my background. They said the agents were very polite and asked a lot of questions. Fortunately, most of my neighbors had their lawns mowed by me, and had lots of good things to say. What they found out about Zer0 would have been grounds for a general discharge. What a squirrel Zer0 is.

Florida does not have open primaries. That is where Mittens got the surge and where Newt sat on his laurels of the SC win. The reality is that too many people still watch network TV and Mitt’s Super PACs knew it and used it to bamboozle the out of touch electorate.

It always goes back to education. With that I’ll add that some of the most educated people I know couldn’t pour piss out of their boot with directions on the heel.

mitt did not get a majority of votes until everyone else quit... the MAJORITY of primary voters voted for someone else... and NOT mitt.
