obama fort bliss speech met with silence

[thereisnospoon]

LOL, most of those guys were ordered to be there and most didn't want to be. Been there, done that. Hardly anyone in the military likes or trusts Obama, except of course most of the blacks. But you do what you are told and god help you if show any sign of not liking the boss. Those guys did well and sat thru his bullshit.

You people are disgusting bags of deusche. You obviously didn't see the speach or the men and women soldiers all waiting around smiliing and all getting personal attention from Obama.

Fuck you..ya lying ignorant pieces of shit.

Tell your lies someplace else bitches... Some us watched the damn thing.. You are all OWNED on this one.

Absolutely no chance any of that was staged? Or no chance those who made the stage with Obama were not hand picked? Or those appearing with Obama were not under strict orders to smile, wave and act like this was the greatest day in their lives?
Please.
Everything Obama does is is programmed, staged, scripted and sanitized.

Did any of the rw's take time to notice the reason for President Obama's speech?

Our military is in desperate need of mental health assistance. They are not getting the care they need and DESERVE. Screw the damn pubs and pots. If this is in place, the useless GObP/pubs/pots will have a hard time taking away the benefits.

Oh shut the fuck up or

PROVE IT.

You idiots pulling this crap out of thin air is really tiresome.

Try one whole day of posting nothing but facts. If you did, you wouldn't have anything to say.

President pigfucker is the asshole.

The Military will vote more than 75% Romney.

Don't hold your breath

Has nothing to do with holding my breath, it has everything to do with being ex-military and knowing how we think.

Why do you think Gore tried to get the Military absentee ballots thrown out?

An average of 1/3 of military absentee ballots are never counted. It's a serious issue that never comes up in voter fraud talks.

Also, not to disparage your own personal expierence but the military are by and large, not partisan. They have a huge majority who identify as "moderate"

 

[francoHFW]

Pure Pubcrappe from the Pub propaganda machine and the stupid hater/dupes...

I know, let's cut taxes on the bloated rich, destroy Medicare and health reform, raise taxes and fees on the nonrich, let corporate cheats run wild, cut aid to states and localities, raise military spending to more than the rest of the world combined, and worry about the debt in 2035.

Absolute idiocy, dupes.

I was finishing my breakfast at one of my favorite dining establishments. My partner and I meet there a couple of times a week to discuss business. Today, it was pretty busy so they seated us in the bar. Initially, the TV was turned to some kind of sales network, hawking all kinds of shit. By the time we finished eating, there were six people in the bar: two guys and a gal seated at the bar, an older gent opposite them, my partner and I at a table.
The channel changed and here we have obama glad-handing the troops, what a photo op. Then he mounted the podium and started drooling his diarrhea of the mouth. Both the younger guys and the gal dropped money on the bar to cover their tabs. They made it very obvious they had no desire to have this shit inflicted upon them. I asked the bartender if she could change the channel to some sports show and she told me the older guy (the boss) had selected that channel. I paid my tab and we left immediately. I doubt the boss even noticed that he had pretty much cleared the bar.
My partner was embarrassed because I made it clear why I was leaving. I will not let them seat me in the bar again, ever.

Way to advertise the fact that you are an asshole. Congratulations.

President pigfucker is the asshole.

The loudmouth twits like you, you mean.

Can't stand to listen to the president talking to the troops, hater/dupe? NOT covered on Fox, I know...doesn't meld with their un-American hater BS, I know.

 

[courseofhistory]

really? I just saw a clip on the evening news that showed the soldiers chanting.

Well, you know, you weren't supposed to actually CHECK the truth of the OP. Shame on you.

Maybe if you actually read the article you would have seen this

President Barack Obama was greeted with fleeting applause and extended periods of silence as he offered profuse praise to soldiers and their families during an Aug. 31 speech in Fort Bliss, Texas.

Certainly not the obsequious applause Bam Bam is used to

If you knew anything about presidents speaking before the military, you'd know that they are instructed to be quiet and respectful. To applaud at appropriate times if they desire but generally they are disciplined and subdued whenever any president speaks.

Good for you, gallantwarrior.

Most of the American people are glad they're getting the opportunity to vote him out in the very near future. He can bs his way everywhere, but not to our troops who see where the rubber hits the road every day, and it is not on the golf course.

Right. Like Obama was trying to deny Ohio military people the vote this election.

You people really need to scrape together an ounce or so of human dignity and see if it might, by some chance,

lift you an inch or two above the pond scum.

And during the Ft. Bliss visit, Obama announced he will sign an executive order to improve veterans' mental health care.

What were they chanting? Fuck you? Fuck You? Fuck You?

That's all he deserves from our brave men and women

Except the FACTS are... the only 'fuck you' between our troops and our president was from Bush and McCain saying fuck you to our brave troops.

Senate passes expanded GI bill despite Bush, McCain opposition

By a vote of 75-22, the Senate approved an expanded version of the GI bill today. Proposed by Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., it’s the biggest expansion of the bill in the past quarter-century, according to the New York Times. But it has also been opposed by, among others, President Bush and presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain.

Bush, McCain and the others who’ve opposed Webb’s bill argue that the expanded provisions — the government would pay tuition and expenses at a four-year public university for anyone who spent three years in the military after 9/11 — will hurt the military’s efforts to retain its troops. Bush has threatened to veto Webb’s bill, and McCain introduced one of his own. He did not vote today.

Oh, you mean this total Pubcrappe, idiot Pub dupe?

The bulk of these disqualifications, however, were not due to supposed technicalities, but to gross irregularities such as voting in the wrong county, voting while unregistered, voting more than once (many overseas absentees in Florida were sent two ballots and returned them both, but only one was counted) or the absence of a signature attesting to the voter's identity. After the Bush campaign filed a blizzard of lawsuits and most counties rechecked the overseas ballots, only a few hundred votes were restored out of the over 1,500 disqualified.

Even these votes included major irregularities, such as votes postmarked or witnessed after Election Day, ballots which arrived after the November 17 deadline, and even ballots that were faxed in. One county election supervisor admitted that, in response to Republican protests, she had done exactly what the Republicans claimed to oppose: “It changed from following strict adherence to statutory law to a more general interpretation based on new information, basically,'' said Stephanie Thomas, assistant supervisor of elections in Clay County.

President Obama Remarks on Military Veterans - C-SPAN Video Library

Watch it for yourselves, dummies.

Those soldiers loved him. No doubt.

The OP was overly critical. Yes, there were extended periods of silence. VERY extended periods, but there were some scattered cheers periodically as well. The video has a crap-load of dubbed music at the end, and was an extremely tight shot, so I have no idea what the crowd was doing.

I do think it is fair to say that his welcome was not nearly as warm as one would expect for a sitting President.

I saw no chanting.
