(CNSNews.com) - In a speech at MacDill Air Force Base, in Tampa, Florida on Tuesday, President Obama focused on his eight-year effort to protect the homeland, fight terrorism, and strengthen U.S. allies. He said he wanted to "talk about the foundation that we will leave for the next administration."

On the way to Florida, Obama's spokesman Josh Earnest said told reporters, "This is a speech that President Obama was prepared to give before the election." But at times, it didn't sound like it.

At one point, Obama reminded the troops "that each of us has...the universal right to speak your minds and to protest against authority; to live in a society that's open and free; that can criticize our president without retribution."

Re - Your links to articles about military members being punished for anti-Obama comments.

Once again, why do we amateurs continually have to do the job the MSM refuse to do? Obama made a blatant falsehood, easily disproven, and NO ONE at ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN/NYT/WP will call him on it. Meanwhile, virtually every comment by Trump is parsed and nitpicked.

According to Wiki that is part of the problem. What a disgusting and gross thought that is.

Oh really. Over the past eight years we were told over and over we couldn’t criticize 0bama. I was even called on the carpet by a flag for doing so.

The photo shows a typical current group of fawning little snowflake military members that are supposed to protect us.

Oh, yeah, I'm real confident about being protected by those alternate lifestyle, gender neutal, diverse military members.
