He should have just started with "I'm bringing everybody home so I can get re-elected" and then walked out.

Barky should just continue to let the Afghani people sell us heroin, we're goin' to need it to get through the coming days.  Problem solved.

I'm sorry, what's the difference?

We aren't declaring victory, though. I guess we're on "a path to victory", in Barkie-speak. Or, we saved or created a victory. It's one of those.

Posted by: progressoverpeace at June 22, 2011 08:09 PM (G/MYk)

There is no Victory in either overseas contingency operations, or Kinetic Military actions...

Because in order for there to be a Victor, someone must lose.... and that might make them angry...

No surge protector on TOTUS.

Prosperity? Is he doing cocaine?

And now the economic pick me up speech. What the heck. Economy and now back to the troops?

Can anyone tell what this "pragmatic" and "middle course" talk means?

Not really victory, not really defeat.

Hell yes. He gets to mix up Osama bin Laden and makework TARP projects all in one speech.

Ah, now it make sense. 2 wars against people who aided/ abetted/ sheltered/ sponsored the guys that caused the worst attack on US soil in history and/ presented a clear and present danger to US interest= overextended

Bombing shit in Libya & Yemen for no apparent reason without Congressional authorization= centered

2 wars= overextended

4 wars= centered

Glad that he cleared that up.

Telecommander-In-Chief.

Does that mean he's whipped out the "Auto-penis" to sign something?  I'm not watching him, so I can't see. 

Posted by: arhooley at June 22, 2011 08:11 PM (Z6WkI)

Pragmatic, middle course= Libya & Yemen

Overextended, distraction= Afghanistan & Iraq

Today, Rush said you all need to take a swig of an adult beverage every time he says "I killed Osama Bin Laden".  Do I need to take a swig yet?  (I just can't watch or listen to that guy any more!)  Ugh!

Has he broken out the "Negro dialect" yet? 

Barry was on time for once, I give him that.

The campaign, it's on!

Glad that he cleared that up.

Well he usually is "perfectly clear" when he speaks so there's that I guess.

Tautologies cannot be proven.

Oh, yesterday or a few days ago, the 500th troop died under Obama's command. Nothing mentioned in the media unlike their Bush's death count.

Remember the MFM with their little "death tally" on the screen?  How about the idiot that does Doonesbury, he always ran a strip a couple of times of year that mentioned the names of the dead troops.  Oh, that's right, his "heart is in the right place" unlike that evil Bushitler who reveled in sending the troops to their deaths.  Unbelievable. 

He opened with it....Drink Away

Thank you so much!  I'll go pour myself a nice glass of something.

 As I have said, I cannot focus on his voice.

Depends on which voice shows up.  Was it the down home local voice, the see I have street cred voice, the angry teacher voice?  There's more I know, can't keep track of them all except they are all pretty annoying.

Momma I do. My man is leaving for stan in 48 hours. Hes not in the house so im crying my guts out while he visits his mom and brothers. This lawfare war really fucks him up. I dont know whats worse... Losing him for months on end, or dreading the emotional damage when he gets back...please pray for us momma.

So sorry to hear that Gushka.  I wish we had a CIC who was worthy of your man.  Thank you and him for your sacrifice.  I will keep you in my prayers.

It's why I'm not watching it.  He gets me so angry, it's really unhealthy. 

Heh!  It's probably the secret plan of the Democrats to rid themselves of the opposition.  Get him out there early and often to stroke us out, constrict our coronaries, and basically ruin our mental health.  I'd have to say it's a heck of a plan, and it seems to be working.  My blood pressure shoots up 80 points when I see his smugly face or hear his lying voice.

Did you see all the media reports today that she cancelled her bus tour?  She then posted a 'I did?  Why didn't anyone tell me' on FB.

If you all notice, he is wearing the same shirt and tie he wore at West Point 18 months ago. This speech was also taped 18 months ago. Bami is out playing golf somewhere right now

Yup!  I knew it!  He's using the "Auto-Penis" while he's out there on the back nine.

Like they used to ask....

When Malia hits eighteen, is HIS kid going to sign up for any branch of the military?

Amusing mental picture.

Picture Obama in the military.

Yeah, the one where he drops his "g"s at the end of words?  That one?  Even though Sarah Palin is supposedly stupid when she does it.

Well at least our president knows that the Germans speak Austrian so we've go that.

It was his "I'm a tough guy" voice.

With extra tense eyebrows

Oh no not the extra tense eyebrows!!  What about the chin position - defiant up in he air?  or the cops acated stupidly chin position?

I can't watch, ulcer is acting up.

Thank you, President Bush.

As for Ubama, his voice makes my skin crawl. Primeval reflex to evil.

"I'm telling you, he uses an hypnotic cadence.  I've been with my mom (pain) and my sister (fear of needles/nightmares) were both hypnotized and it sounds just like BO talking."

At the risk of getting all conspiratorial, this article claims that Obama practices Neuro Linguisitic Programming, and apparently Youtube is filled with video examples demonstrating that cadence.

It wouldn't surprise me.  He probably has Noam Chomsky on speed dial.

Dad served in WWII

I asked Mom and she said "Yes Dear, in his dreams"

It was his "I'm a tough guy" voice.

With extra tense eyebrows

"Barry dear, I'm packing you a pair of extra shoes and your angry eyes, just in case..."

I'm alwasy surpirsed at the polls that say his "personal likeability" is high. 

crickets.  I don't think he's likeable at all.  He comes across really detatched to me, creepily detatched.  But what the hell do I know I'm one of those bitter clingers.

They forced Barry to use only one teleprompter screen...  they may have finally figured out that having him bounce between screens makes him look like he's watching Wimbeldon

Now it just looks like he's losing at Pong....

'It's time to start nation building at home' ~ Obama


Announcing our new stimulus project with, wait for it, SHOVEL READY PROJECTS.

Together We Can Win The Future.

^(fore!!)

so we aren't yet a nation according to Obama?

or doesn't nation building require a military force and tons of cash to rebuild , facilitate it?

so we are clean out of cash, we're ok

crickets.  I don't think he's likeable at all.  He comes across really detatched to me, creepily detatched.  But what the hell do I know I'm one of those bitter clingers.

Detached, yes, but why stop there?  He's also arrogant, condescending, snotty, a big whiny baby, narcissistic, a jackass, selfish, uncaring, cold, calculating, ignorant, insensitive, caddish, overbearing, truculant, petulant, thin skinned, really not that smart, mean spirited, nasty, ill tempered, petty, uninformed, power hungry, egotistical, and a know it all.  Did I miss anything?

Might I suggest a cervical collar and a batting helmet. And no TOTUS TV for you til at least 2013.

I'm alwasy surpirsed at the polls that say his "personal likeability" is high. 

crickets.  I don't think he's likeable at all.  He comes across really detatched to me, creepily detatched.  But what the hell do I know I'm one of those bitter clingers.

If it is indeed true that his personal likability is high, I'm left with one uncomfortable conclusion.  People just aren't that good at reading other people, their hidden selves, so to speak.  I see someone like him as very sinister, not fumbling and bumbling through the presidency, but one who is actively dismantling America on purpose.  I saw his real self as plain as day all the way back to the primaries.  I see liberal politicians mostly as corrupt and corrosive people with bad, devious hearts.  Why do other people fall prey to what some of us can easily see?  It's a mystery indeed.

ace and Llarry are an item?  That's.....unexpected

I dont think hed be doin what hes doin now, but the economy is so cruddy that this is his Job, and we gotta pay the bills, so back he went  

I caught the tail end of the Bibi speech on a break with a co-worker in the staff lounge.  Everyone was just glued to the television--even people who don't pay attention to politics.  It was mesmerizing, and I said outloud, "Wow!  That's one heck of a speech."  And the people sitting there all agreed (and they aren't conservatives either).

I'm so sorry to hear that your guy has been forced to go back to pay the bills--especially under the current CinC.  That so totally sucks.  I hope God keeps him safe and that He holds you up.  I will be praying for you and him, Gushka!

I want to vent but I shall refrain.

CDR M, I was wondering when you would weigh in!  How are you?  I hope you are ok!

As they do, we must learn their lessons. Already this decade of war has caused many to question the nature of America's engagement around the world. Some would have America retreat from our responsibility as an anchor of global security, and embrace an isolation that ignores the very real threats that we face. Others would have America overextend ourselves, confronting every evil that can be found abroad.

We must chart a more centered course. Like generations before, we must embrace America's singular role in the course of human events. But we must be as pragmatic as we are passionate; as strategic as we are resolute. When threatened, we must respond with force — but when that force can be targeted, we need not deploy large armies overseas. When innocents are being slaughtered and global security endangered, we don't have to choose between standing idly by or acting on our own. Instead, we must rally international action, which we are doing in Libya, where we do not have a single soldier on the ground but are supporting allies in protecting the Libyan people and giving them the chance to determine their destiny.

In all that we do, we must remember that what sets America apart is not solely our power — it is the principles upon which our union was founded. We are a nation that brings our enemies to justice while adhering to the rule of law, and respecting the rights of all our citizens. We protect our own freedom and prosperity by extending it to others. We stand not for empire but for self-determination. That is why we have a stake in the democratic aspirations that are now washing across the Arab World. We will support those revolutions with fidelity to our ideals, with the power of our example, and with an unwavering belief that all human beings deserve to live with freedom and dignity.

Above all, we are a nation whose strength abroad has been anchored in opportunity for our citizens at home. Over the last decade, we have spent a trillion dollars on war, at a time of rising debt and hard economic times. Now, we must invest in America's greatest resource — our people. We must unleash innovation that creates new jobs and industry, while living within our means. We must rebuild our infrastructure and find new and clean sources of energy. And most of all, after a decade of passionate debate, we must recapture the common purpose that we shared at the beginning of this time of war. For our nation draws strength from our differences, and when our union is strong no hill is too steep and no horizon is beyond our reach.

America, it is time to focus on nation building here at home.

If it is indeed true that his personal likability is high, I'm left with one uncomfortable conclusion.  People just aren't that good at reading other people, their hidden selves, so to speak.  I see someone like him as very sinister, not fumbling and bumbling through the presidency, but one who is actively dismantling America on purpose.  I saw his real self as plain as day all the way back to the primaries.  I see liberal politicians mostly as corrupt and corrosive people with bad, devious hearts.  Why do other people fall prey to what some of us can easily see?  It's a mystery indeed.

It isn't that rational.  First, they aren't evaluating him at all.  They want to like him and so they can "personally" like him without consequence. It's subjective.  Second, it's the kind of thing we say in our daily lives to mitigate against a criticism. To me, it's actually an insult. Third, what are you, racist?

No, but NLP is an observed-and-codified thing, based on the actual behaviors of bamboozlin' dudes, and Obama's one of those, so he does those things. Claiming he understands and deploys NLP is tinfoily. The guy's clearly too dumb to learn things.

This has to be the thread winner!

But I think it is due to the fawning MFM operatives who like to show photos of him with that big white smile going from jug ear to jug ear.  The same public that soaks up reality TV shows, DWTS, that pays no attention to the news except for what they see on the tabloid covers in the supermarket line, those are the ones that think they "like" him.

Exactly.  Including members of my family.  And I ask - Why?  What do you find likeable about him.

"Well Bush was an asshole."  - Oh, ok thanks good answer and explanation!

ace has a great voice. Mellow but the snark is always right there. I think all the 'ettes agree.

I've never heard the voice of Ace.  Perhaps I need to go on a retreat in the woods, fast and pray for 3 days so I can hear it.

"We will work with the Pakistani government to root out the cancer of violent extremism, and we will insist that it keep its commitments."

It's perfectly clear he means violent Christian extremism.  Christian extremists pose more of a threat to us than Islamofascists you hater!!!!

@120: "I hate it,I hate what we've done to our country.We are going to be weaker for a long time,weaker than we were pre WW1."

Hey! Remember that war we declared on you, but never actually got around to fighting?  Back on, bitchez!

Oh come now! Don't you think that "cock sucking" is an inappropriate way to describe our President? You clearly have not been paying attention to the man.

If he were actually a cock sucker it would be the closest thing to work that the worthless bastard has ever done in his affirmative action driven life. If anything, the guy is nothing more than a limp "catcher" who needs his teleprompter to tell him to ask for a reach around.

I was upset ( PISSED) at first.

I decided if He isn't going to let our men and women win, we might as well leave, although I'm sure we'll be facing these jerks very shortly again.

Doubtless you're right on all points, Damiano- just trying to keep up the "cock sucker" stats for the blog, so as to keep our google search rank high.

Plus I think King Putt really is a (figurative) cock sucker.

I have seen death a few times myself and each time i told him "Nope. Not today. See you later."

So far i have been accomodated.

Yup, when it's not your time, it's not your time.  A friend of mine had a sudden cardiac arrest while we were running.  I had to do CPR on him.  When the medics finally arrived, he was flat lined (which I knew already).  They only had to zap him once and he came back.  He got cathed and stented that night and was kept in a medically induced coma for a couple of days.  That was 3 years ago.  He's completely fine now with no deficits (despite being down for a little while).  He ran his first post mortem 5k 5 months later and did a marathon 14 months later.  I keep telling him it was the hand of God and that it just wasn't his time yet. 

leider veck, runningRN.  It's not there any more.  

Drats!  To think I missed the Golden Tones of our Head Ewok!

  Yeah, I see that oil is a problem and power/china rising alos is. But in this case as France was gun-ho, maybe we should have let them carry the burden while we stayed focused on afghanistan and iraq.

Gushka-May God Bless You and Your Man and keeep him safe.

I had it on for a few minutes and I can't stand to watch and or listen to him either. What was with the American Dream from him?  Campaign Speech!  If he was on time, it was because he was too cowardly to spread it out, he wanted to get it over with for the lefties. 

Does this mean we are going to stop bombing Libya?  We do not belong there, we don't know who the rebels are? Is this the "just war" or "kinetic action?" No, it's a waste or our money and resources.  The rebels are more than likely Al Queda!  Nice job Barky, good choice you made. 

Afghan constitution?  Why would Barry mention that when he doesn't mention ours or honor ours? 

I wonder if he screws up Obama and Osama as much as Ted K did?
