Considering the fact that you do not have a tab for non commitment,,,This is an honest statement that I am appalled that you do not have the integrity to deliver your 12/1 speech to an audience of adults……but rather choose the photo op of West Point Cadets, who are bound by the integrity of their youth and appointment to sit in deference to your platitudes…which you fully understand and have painfully exploited. You are an empty suit. You should be appalled that you are a puppet of Pellosi and Reed. You have been bought and sold by a liberal fringe…. I hope you are enjoying your “moment of glory”. You have nothing but an empty suit and the ephemeral “Chicago Political Mob” to keep you in place.
It is totally possible to fool some of the people some of the time…………BUT………..You do not have the charisma to fool all of the people all of the tome.

Obama has taken more lessons from George Bush. Always have an audience that can only agree because he’s really their boss, not their elected official.

I would not have lost respect with Obama after tonight if he had made this speech before a cross section of citizens from all walks of life.

There were two General Order # 11’s The one Truman’s family was taken under was in Missouri, and affected the some 20,000 women, children and old men considered disloyal by the commanders in the area (turned in by their unionists neighbors), the one that my ancestors were subject to was in the Department of the Tennessee and affect “Jews as a class” regardless of sympathies…

They burned her house down under that Order #11 thing. I thought that order applied to Jews.

As I said, it depends on perspective…and why would I want the GOP in? But a liar is a liar…it obviously doesn’t mean to you what it means to this household and to our boy who has served in Bosnia, Kossovo, Iraq and Afghanistan and is now being threatened with another “tour” while the two men who brought him to responsible adulthood when left orphaned are treated as second class citizens?

I too dislike the escalation, but methinks some of this bitterness against Obama has little to do with that decision. Rather, some people on this blog would rather see a gay-hating Republican elected president than tolerate an Obama who as yet has taken no action to end DADT or to take any other action in support of gay marriage.

I don’t think that way. While I would like to see an end to homophobia in all its forms, I’m not so desperate for that goal that I would willingly see Hades visited on the American populace again.

Sakina–

Harry Truman integrated the Armed Forces against all conventional “wisdom.” Ima Gonna continues to dither on DADT, against all conventional wisdom. The greatest what? Sorry but that Messiah don’t walk on water to this houseboat…jus’ sayin’ as a matter of perspective….

President Obama is the BEST President that AMERICA has ever had. President Obama had a difficult decision to make; however, I do agree with him which is LET US STOP THE CANCER FROM SPREADING…. Of course, tears come to my eyes to think of 30,000 more military sent to WAR with my relatives that are serving in ACTIVE DUTY included. Since he has like no other President given us a date to send the Military home of 2011, let’s pray for President Obama’s total VICTORY IN THE DECISION TO END THE WAR! PLEASE, STOP HATING AND START PRAYING!! IN JESUS NAME, WE HAVE THE VICTORY –Sakina R. Sweetney!
