Likwid Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Obama during campaigning saying he will pull troops out of Afghanistan.Obama saying we're sending more troops.Thanks, not trolling, think it'd be a good reminder we're not a "of the people" government.

Likwid Posted December 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Nothing will ever top "Mission Accomplished" but I'd like these videos side-by-side... it comes close.One of the highest "concerns of voters" was the war in afghanistan and iraq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevysoldier Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Did you see the view of the audience? They looked sleepy, bored and pissed they had to listen to him. And the standing ovation was a military respect, you could tell by how they stood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the standing ovation was a military respect, you could tell by how they stood.that is because they are just there being used as props. this speech should have been done from the oval office, not a military base!!!!

Do you know how many times Bush went and visited wounded troops, without cameras present? Not saying he didn't do photo ops, but that is all Obama has done.

And the standing ovation was a military respect, you could tell by how they stood.Theyre cadets...theyre ALWAYS tired. Go to any commissioning source and youll get the same reaction. I thought the setting was fitting considering those LTs will be commissioned soon going straight to Afghanistan after their tech schools.
