The Teleprompter & Chief: Barack Obama Calls Navy Corpsman … Pronounces it Navy Corpseman

From the intellectual and smartest President ever to grace 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue …

YOU SERIOUS!!! The most intelligent President ever elected in the United States with the highest IQ can’t pronouce the word Navy Corpsman? UNREAL!!! You have got to be kidding. Does Obama from now on need phonetics on the teleprompter?

And the LEFT called George W. Bush stupid? Um, I guess this is more change you can believe while The Chosen One’s mispronunciation of the word “corpsman” in praising American military personnel at the National Prayer Breakfast. Obama Calls Navy Corpsman … a ‘Corpse Man’

What might be more disturbing that this was coming from the President, the Commander and Chief of our Armed Forces? Out of curiosity, what does he refer to Marines as … the Marine Corpse?

Weasel Zippers wonders whether he can pronounce other words properly?

Funny, Obama has no problem pronouncing ACORN, tax increases, record deficit spending and budgets, socialism, Marxism, bailouts, Mirandizing terrorists or Overseas Contingency Operation.

Isn’t the double standard just remarkable. If GWB had made such a gaffe the MSM would have perpetuated him as they did when he said nuclear or when Dan Quayle misspelled potato”e”.  Where was the MSM’s laughter at this idiotic Obama moment?

Venezuelan Leader Hugo Chavez Accuses United States of Causing Haiti Earthquake

As actors, actresses, singers and other celebrities come out and offer their help to aid Haiti, “Hope for Haiti Now,” in the wake of the devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake, the Hollywood LEFT’s favorite Marxits, socialist, Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez accused the US for the  earthquake in Haiti last week.

Once again we are blessed with the comments of Hugo Chavez:

Russia Today: Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez has once again accused the United States of playing God. But this time it’s Haiti’s disastrous earthquake that he thinks the U.S. was behind. Spanish newspaper ABC quotes Chavez as saying that the U.S. Navy launched a weapon capable of inducing a powerful earthquake off the shore of Haiti. He adds that this time it was only a drill and the final target is … destroying and taking over Iran.

Hugo’s Lost that Loving Feeling?

According to the Venezuelan voice of sanity, the United States apparently possesses an “earthquake weapon” that set off the catastrophic quake in Haiti and killed 200,000 innocents.

Wonder why Chavez would think that Comrade Obama would do such a thing seeing that he considers Obama more LEFT than he or Castro. Or is it that Chavez thinks all US Presidents are the Devil.

Milblogger Michael Yon, the Face Of Terrorism to TSA & Obama Administration … Handcuffed & Detained!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! YOU JUST CAN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP!

How SCREWED UP up is the war on terror under President Barack Obama?  Under the Obama administration we let an individual like Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who we had been warned by his father that he was a threat, who was not put on a no-fly list, who was allowed to board a plane with no luggage, no passport and a ticket paid for in cash.

Obama in Wonderland continues … Obama’s war on terror is more than a screw up, it is a complete joke. When are we going to actually target the people who really want us killed?

Welcome to Obama’s war on terror: Milblogger/independent war correspondent extraordinaire Michael Yon handcuffed

Welcome to Barack Obama’s tough stance on terrorism …

Who is not allowed on a plain, is detained and even handcuffed as a suspected terrorist … Beret/military blogger-journalist extraordinaire, Michael Yon. That is correct, HANDCUFFED! From Big Government.com comes the following regarding the ‘Alice in Wonderland’ approach to terrorism under Barack Hussein Obama:

“Award winning war correspondent Michael Yon was detained and handcuffed at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Yesterday by Transportation Security Administration (TSA) personnel.

This is why the term WTF was invented. As Flopping Aces states, That’s our national security in action all right. Al-qaeda must be laughing them self silly. It’s the TSA GONE WILD … feeling safe America?

But apparently it wasn’t enough to merely examine his bags and find nada… nothing… of interest to a terrorist. Like they’d need a toothbrush to blow themselves up? Then the questions got personal… and Yon decided to remain silent. That didn’t sit so well with the frustrated TSA types. I mean, we’re talking handcuffs, folks!

As Michelle Malkin states, file this one under Home Land Security JOKE!

Former British PM Tony Blair Defends War in Iraq, Lack of WMD’s and Removal of Sadam Hussein … “I would still have thought it right to remove him”

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair defends the war in Iraq and the ousting of Saddam Hussein, even with out the presence of WMD’s, weapons of mass destruction.

“I would still have thought it right to remove him.”

Tony Blair, hardly a conservative, defended the justification of the removal of Saddam Hussein even without the finding of WMD’s. One would think that the removal of a tyrant, rape rooms, and a future of of his two sons ruling the country would be a positive for the people and woman of Iraq.

If you asked the people of Iraq, do you think the majority of them would say they are better off without Saddam? Face it, in the end … GWB and Blair were right.

Reporting from London - Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair has said he would have found a justification for invading Iraq even without the now-discredited evidence that Saddam Hussein was trying to produce weapons of mass destruction.

“I would still have thought it right to remove him. I mean, obviously you would have had to use and deploy different arguments about the nature of the threat,” Blair told the BBC in an interview to be broadcast this morning.

It was a startling admission from the onetime British leader, who was President Bush’s staunchest ally in the decision to invade Iraq in 2003.

Blair’s comments were immediately denounced by critics who accused him of using false pretenses to drag Britain into an unpopular war that has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of allied troops and tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians.

Speaking to broadcaster Fern Britton, Blair insisted that ousting Hussein had improved the situation in Iraq by laying the foundation for a more democratic country. He described the upcoming Iraqi elections as “probably the single most significant thing that’s happened to that region for many years.”

90 Year Old Medal of Honor Recipient Retired Army Col. Van T. Barfoot Allowed to Keep US Flag Flying

The story of a real American hero and his victory …

90 year old Van T. Barfoot, a Medal of Honor recipient and retired Army Col. is allowed to keep flying his American flag on his 21 foot flag pole. I am glad to see we still live in America.

A 90-year-old Medal of Honor recipient can keep his 21-foot flagpole in his front yard after a homeowner’s association dropped its request to remove it, a spokesman for Democratic Virginia Sen. Mark Warner said Tuesday.

The Sussex Square homeowners’ association likewise has agreed to drop threats to take legal action against retired Army Col. Van T. Barfoot, Warner spokesman Kevin Hall said.

The association had threatened to take Barfoot to court if he failed to remove the pole from his suburban Richmond home by Friday. It had said the pole violated the neighborhood’s aesthetic guidelines.

Personally this home owners association and every member on it can go #%@% them self. As stated at the Jawa Report, Col. Van T. Barfoot has earned the right to fly any American flag he wants on any size flag pole he wants. The service that this man has provided to this country is more than the petty trivialness of some association board member with a Napoleon complex.

From Hot Air … A Happy Ending and watch the video of the story of retired Col. Van T. Barfoot.

Heroes like this should be honored, especially in their later years of life, not have their stones broke by PC Americans. The people on this association owe this man a debt of gratitude, not trying to take away his freedoms that he put his life on the line for in serving in the US Army.

KUDOS to Col. Van T. Barfoot’s victory!

Pearl Harbor Day … A Date That Will Live in Infamy

DO NOT EVER FORGET PEARL HARBOR, THE BRAVE MEN AND WOMAN THAT WERE LOST AND THE ENDURING MESSAGE.

December 7, 1941 is a date that will live in infamy. Do not ever forget what happened in past history or we shall be destined to repeat it. Be very careful of those that would look to present the image of peace, while they behind the scenes look to destroy the United States and its way of life. It is all too easy to stick one’s head in the sand and think that real threats do not exist.

Let the memories of Pearl Harbor serve as a reminder to all Americans that there has always been evil in the world looking to harm America. This is not a recent event or due to the actions of any recent Presidents. Let this also be a reminder for all to take the time, a moment of silence and say a prayer for all those lost on December 7, 1941.

Every day we lose so many from America’s Greatest Generation, these brave heroes that faught so that we can be free. As we lose these national treasure’s and living breathing history books, it is out duty to remember these people, our brave military, and carry on their knowledge of remembering the history of these events. We owe that to their legacy.

Pearl Harbor Remembered:

FDR’s address on December 8, 1941:

December 7, 1941, a date that will live in infamy from President FDR’s address on December 8, 1941.

Yesterday, December 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.

Obama Afghan Speech: Never before has a speech by President Barack Obama felt as false

Der Spiegel was not impressed with President Obama’s speech on Afghanistan. It had all the ramblings and the nuances, promises and feel of a campaign speech. As Der Spiegel stated, “never before has a speech by a President felt so false”. Maybe because it was. It would have appeared that the President did not need to convince the cadets at West Point, the American people, our allies, our enemies, Republicans, Democrats or Independents. The President needed to convince himself of his own rhetoric.

The fact of the matter is that Obama’s speech was political in front of a military audience. If his goal was to muster the troops like a Commander & Chief is supposed to do, he failed. Once again, instead of a Commander & Chief, Obama was the Campaigner & Chief.

Never before has a speech by President Barack Obama felt as false as his Tuesday address announcing America’s new strategy for Afghanistan. It seemed like a campaign speech combined with Bush rhetoric — and left both dreamers and realists feeling distraught.

Daily Commentary - Thursday, December 3rd, 2009 - Who Does Chris Matthews Consider the Enemy?

• Comments on the “enemy camp” quote and various other lib-media debacles of the past couple weeks like their lack of reporting on global warming when there is proof positive cover up, conspiracy, fraud and an attempt to misrepresent the truth.

If you haven’t seen the video, watch it HERE.

In the end the truth comes out and the liberal MSM wonders where their ratings went. Left, Right or Center, most thinking people want a credible media … maybe that can explain the shift in viewership.

Barack Obama Speech at West Point on Afghanistan … Wow, that was Underwhelming … Krauthammer and Hayes Dumbfounded by Obama Speech

This was the speech and decision that took three months of dithering? You preempted a Charlie Brown Christmas for that speech? What a disappointment.

If Obama’s speech on Afghanistan last night at West Point was supposed to be a show stopper and one that was supposed to build up the moral of the troops and Americans that we will win the war in Afghanistan against the Taliban … it did not. This might have been one of the worst speeches to try and muster public opinion and support to the war. Was that intentional?

American Power might have stated it best, “Actually, what I did see was a different president, and uncomfortable president, not the uplifting president of old. The weight of office is wearing on the man”. Although I am not sure if Obama was uncomfortable and not uplifting because of the weight of the office. Heck, he hasn’t even been in a year yet. It was the sign of a man who did not believe a word he was saying. He was not talking about the government take over of healthcare, raising taxes on the rich and every one for that matter. He was not talking about himself, although he did reference “I” way too many times. Since Obama was not pushing his socialist agenda, he was like a fish out of water not understanding that he is supposed to be the “Commander” and Chief.

Obama, known for his oratory skills fell completely flat. Or was it the telepromters fault? Not only was the speech uninspiring, it was all over the place. It was a microcosm of Obama’s presidency acting as if he has ADD and not focusing an any one thing to its conclusion.

Charles Krauthammer said, I thought it was a rather strange speech. This was not a speech you would hear from Henry V, Churchill or George Bush when he announced his surge. The speech came off as he didn’t mean it, wants to put his toe in the water, give it a shot, but is ready to leave. All it did was compound the uncertainty.

Charles Krauthammer: I thought it was a rather strange speech. It was defensive and it was a lot of hedging. the president said at the end that our resolve is unwavering. He said in August this was a war of necessity. And then he gives us all of the reasons that we need to start leaving in a year and a half. And among the reasons he gave was that it was a very expensive war and we have a bad economy and that’s at least of equal importance. It’s not exactly the kind of speech you would have heard from Henry V or Churchill. And it’s not exactly the kind of speech you heard from George Bush when he announced his surge.

Stephen Hayes: The most important role of a president is Commander in Chief. This felt very small to me. The president in one sentence called this the common security of the world is at stake. And literally in the very next sentence he said we’re going to get out in July 2011. If it is the case that the common security of the world is at stake you don’t say that we need to figure out the problem in 18 months or we’re out of here.

 CNN has some excerpts; however, hardly the best ones from the speech.

What Powerline heard tonight pretty much echos what most people did as well. It was the speech of “I” and a speech that was nuanced to all of his talking points and those who have issues with his policy. You can’t please every one Mr. President. Some times you have to do the right thing for the United States and care less what the far LEFT thinks.

The war time President Obama is not and with comments like this, it makes us wonder whether Obama and the LEFT know who the real enemy is.

Post Obama Afghan Speech: Did Chris Matthews Just Call West Point the Enemy Camp? YES HE DID!

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews calls West Point … THE ENEMY CAMP. 

Following President Barack Obama’s rather flat, weak and uninspired speech tonight on the Afghan war, Chris Matthews said the unthinkable. Matthews actually said that “He [Obama] went to maybe the enemy camp tonight to make his case.“

ENEMY CAMP!!! Are you kidding me? So this is what liberals in the MSM think our our fine military institutions like United States Military Academy at West Point, the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis and the United States Air Force Academy. They think that there very place that creates the leaders of the United States that defend their rights of Freedom of Speech, the enemy. Unreal.

You heard it from the liberal horses mouth. These people think that the military is the enemy. No Chrissy, if Barack Hussein Obama had given his speech in a Taliban or al-qaeda terror training facility, that would have been the enemy. Or so we guess.

The full comment from NewsBusters:

“I watched the cadets, they were young kids – men and women who were committed to serving their country professionally it must be said, as officers. And, I didn’t see much excitement. But among the older people there, I saw, if not resentment, skepticism. I didn’t see a lot of warmth in that crowd out there. The president chose to address tonight and I thought it was interesting. He went to maybe the enemy camp tonight to make his case.”

So our brave young men and women of West Point did not seem excited an others showed skepticism. Go figure. These people are trained to get results, they are trained to protect and serve the United States of America. They probably do not take kindly to being political pawns for a dithering President. Believe it or not Matthews, it’s not always about Barack Obama, even though the “I” President would find it hard to believe as well.

The brave young men and woman of West Point represent some of the best this country has to offer. They look for leadership from a Commander and Chief, not a ditherer. Respect is earned Mr. President, it does not come from words, a speech or a teleprompter.

Obama showed no conviction or certitude for this surge. A much different story than he did when he defrauded the American people during the 2008 Presidential election.

Why should the people at West Point have been excited, Obama phoned in this speech and it was as flat and weak a speech as this non-War President has ever made. Obama shows more glee and a hop in his step when he looks to promote socialism, higher taxes and government take over of health care than he did mustering the troops to inspire Victory in Afghanistan.
