We'd rather scrubbing latrines rather than be stuck in here listening to this clown."

I think that's a fair summation.

Every uniformed soldier I have spoken with has, directly or indirectly, confirmed their contempt for Obama. I cannot resist comparing their attitudes to those of the Army and National Guard members I sat with in October of 2002, when President Bush spoke to us at the Armory in Manchester, NH. The pride in and respect for the former President were palpable and the cheers for him were genuine, and deafening.

Obama’s a politician, not a soldier, and therefore doesn’t even rate being a REMF in my book. He’s just a ..MF.

Wow.

Even the “soldiers of color” don’t look too happy to see the anti-American a$$wipe.

Is he bowing before the grave of his namesake, the al Tikriti?

That pic was not from Baghdad.

Marines give Obama a cool Yule reception

Vacationing in Hawaii, President-elect Barack Obama dropped in on the Kaneche Bay U.S. Marine base to say hello last night, and the reception he received from the Leathernecks was... cool.

Allow me to defer to your wisdom on this point. I stand corrected.

What does this picture tell you?

Obama is inducing the thousand yard stare into the troops.

By the way: when was the last time anyone saw our President in a church? Any bets on whether he attends services on Sunday?

"That pic was not from Baghdad."

That picture is from Obama's February 27,2009 to Camp LeJeune N.C. when he announced the imminent troop withdrawals from Iraq.

Thank you!

I couldn’t remember where and one of the sources I went to said it was somewhere else.

This is what he said at the embassy: “So I don’t care whether you are a Sailor, a Soldier, an Airmen, or Marine. A National Guard, a Reservist, active duty, we just want to say thank you,” Obama said.

There’s something about that statement that has a ring of disrespect and negativity.

“I would love to see some true pictures of what the soldiers thought about the snake.”

I work with the military on a regular basis. They loved W. They roll their eyes when you speak of Obama.

This is interesting....a poll taken shortly before the November election. There are two pages here:
