Obama: Commander-in-Chief; The soldiers hate him

Post by _bcspace »

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.

His praise for the soldiers — and for his own national-security policies — won cheers from only a small proportion of the soldiers and families in the cavernous aircraft-hangar.

The audience remains quiet even when the commander-in-chief thanked the soldiers’ families, and cited the 198 deaths of their comrades in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The audience’s reaction was so flat that the president tried twice to elicit a reaction from the crowd.

“Hey, I hear you,” he said amid silence.

The selected soldiers who were arrayed behind the president sat quietly throughout the speech.

CNN and MSNBC ended their coverage of the speech before it was half-over.

I guarantee you Obama's shills in the Pentagon are running interference on the military vote.

You're quoting the same stupid sources that said there was no booing when Romney/Ryan started bad mouthing Obamacare. You're basically trusting a subjective perception from a notoriously biased source that is designed to put an anti-Obama spin on everything in existence, and you have the audacity to say this means "soldiers hate him"?

It seems you've crawled into the depths of moral bankruptcy along with Romney.

The American military troops support Barack Obama over John McCain, but not just a little. By a whopping 6x more! These are the men and women who are actually out in the field, fighting our battles and who have facts-on-the-ground knowledge of what wars are about.

They are putting their money where their mouths are and donating against McCain and against the republicans. If you respect our military, you might want to take note of this. Given that they are in the mix directly, they likely have a good idea of who THEY want to be their Commander in Chief - and it isn't John McCain.

Remember SIX TIMES MORE - that's a whopping 600% and surely a sign that when it comes to who is ready to lead this country, the marines, army, navy and air force troops are in support of Barack Obama.

According to Reuters, "If the election were held today, Obama would win the veteran vote by as much as seven points over Romney, higher than his margin in the general population."

According to USNEWS: "Poll: Veterans Overwhelmingly Support Romney Over Obama"

Have these soldiers been exposed to some form of genetic engineering turning them into conservobots? If so, perhaps Bc and myself can ask them if they would like to know more about the true Church.
