Here are some of the vermin in the left wing media expressing their anger at Obama for his audacity in praising the accomplishments and professionalism of the United States military and (how dare he!), referring to the US as an "exceptional" nation, and, to make things even more horrible for these liberal paragons of elitism, Obama up and mentioned God, too! Oh, the injustice! This is the pervasive attitude of the scum in the mainstream left-wing media... A sample: These days he can barely open his mouth without also bowing down before the U.S. military in ways that once would have struck Americans as embarrassing, if not incomprehensible. In addition, he regularly prostrates himself before this country's special mission to the world and never ceases to emphasize that the United States is indeed an exception among nations. Finally, in a way once alien to American presidents, he invokes God's blessing upon the military and the country as regularly as you brush your teeth.
Think of these as the triumvirate without which no Obama foreign-policy moment would be complete: greatest military, greatest nation, our God. And in this he follows directly, if awkwardly, in Bush's footsteps. www.salon.com/news/politics/barack_obama/index.html?story=/politics/war_room/2011/06/30/obama_afghanistan_speech

Obama praising the military ?? Usually he screws up and gets names wrong, or says something completely stupid...if that is praise?? Rather insincere or not too well prepared Ed
NECN) - The White House is admitting President Barack Obama made a painful mistake in an address to soldiers in Fort Drum, New York.
The president misspoke about a medal of honor winner coming home alive, says Obama spokesman Josh Earnest. That soldier, Sgt. 1st Class Jared Monti of Raynham, Massachusetts, was killed in action. Earnest notes Obama paid tribute to Monti in March of 2010, but Salvatore Giunta was the first living recipient of the medal among veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

I would say he disgraced the office of the Presidency with that stupid comment and owes the country an apology or at least the members of the 10th Mountain Division...this guy is one disaster after another and proved it with his stupid news conference yesterday Re: his Debt Reduction BS..

"proved it with his stupid news conference yesterday Re: his Debt Reduction BS.. " ----------------------------------------------------- Funny how a address by some one can be looked at in a completely different way by two individuals..where one thinks "stupid' another thinks well presented, covers all the points addressed so well..great to see how diversity can be present in our interrelationships and we still go swimmingly along in the ability to get along with each other.. ;D

further proof that Obama is Bush Lite. I'd say he is more Bush Dark, and I don't mean that in a racial way. I mean he is all the bad parts of Bush, the overspending, the debt, the abuse of power, the secrecy, the cronyism, only worse and more extreme; everything Obama does is what Bush did taken to the next level...

Good. I hope they all get so angry they stay home on election day. But they won't, of course. Anger and protest is what the left does. In the end they will throw their votes to the one that lied to them.

[/quote] If I wanted to ignore you, I'd put on the ignore button. You do make some good points, and I sometime agree with you. I'm not sure what your issue is with me. Oh, I know what the 10th Mountain Division is, I've just never seen it abbreviated that way. Fort Drum is huge, and expanding, and critical to our nation's mission in Afghanistan since the winter climate at Fort Drum most closely resembles that in Afghanistan. I'm sure it did go viral, I take your word for it. It was a huge mistake, but he did apologize. You commented on the mistake, and I think it's fair comment to show, from a credible and public source that he did apologize personally to the family.

Ahh finally, but the other.."aid, abet Iran ..., would you mind explaining that one ..? Come on Dezi, seriously? Did Al Jazeera not cover this? Is that why you haven't heard? Obama supported Iran's nuclear ambitions since day one of his presidency, and he continues to stand by and do absolutely nothing while they make nuclear weapons, which they have clearly stated their intention to use... www.politicsdaily.com/2009/06/02/obama-supports-a-nuclear-iran/"President Barack Obama suggested that Iran may have some right to nuclear energy -- provided it proves by the end of the year that its aspirations are peaceful."
This, of course, is sort of like saying that one supports the right for Jeffrey Dahmer to have dinner with friends as long as his plans are for friendship.Aside from the fact that this is a dangerously naive position, it should also be noted that Iran is already flush with oil and doesn't need nuclear power.
It also strikes me as ironic that Democrats are keen on depriving American citizens of the right to bear arms, yet President Obama has no problem with Iran's right to bear nuclear arms.
As the WaPost reported, "Obama's interview offered a preview of a speech he is to deliver in Egypt this week, saying he hoped the address would warm relations between Americans and Muslims abroad."
If President Obama truly does go on to pursue an apology tour in the Middle East, as this story implies he will, he may prove himself to be not only naive regarding foreign policy, but also more politically naive than one might have expected. Is he really trying to become Jimmy Carter 2.0?

So what happened to Bin Laden was bad? Well, I guess you're entitled to your opinion. And gee, I remember Bush giving up on him. And here's a list of his accomplishments substantiated with links kaystreet.wordpress.com/2010/10/30/obama-administration%E2%80%99s-achievements-thus-far/ And LOL at Conservatives who spent their time adamantly defending Bush when he was President. Funny how they all disappeared, same with all the "they're gonna clean house with a new broom" T.P.ers LOL, an opinion article. Oh that's right, it's okay when Conservatives do it. Hypocrite much? And hey, let's put some icing on that crapola cake: it was written "2 years ago"! Why I guess nothing at all has changed since then, huh! Now, I'll show you how the big people do it. Take notes if you wish: "Obama says new U.S. sanctions show international resolve in Iran issue" articles.cnn.com/2010-07-01/politics/obama.iran.sanctions_1_nuclear-program-nuclear-non-proliferation-treaty-iran-s-islamic-revolutionary-guard?_s=PM:POLITICSJuly 01, 2010 <--- note how it says 2010, making it about a year old. 1 year is more recent than two years. President Barack Obama on Thursday signed into law new U.S. sanctions on Iran that he called another step in demonstrating that "the United States and the international community are determined to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons." Which do you think is better: a two year old opinion article that uses a sentence (and note Obama's "maybe," that doesn't sound very supportive, does it?) as a basis for its article, or an article about a LAW (that puts sanctions on Iran because of nuclear of weapons) signed in by Obama? Which do you think carries more weight, hmmmm? Ah, the Sgt. Schultz routine. *closes eyes* I see nothing! LOL, a ten second Google search does wonders (well one that isn't something like <Obama does nothing about Iran>). I mean you spent enough time combing the internet for that 2 year old article, did you pointedly ignore the other sites? I just typed in "iran nuclear weapons obama" and got that CNN article. If I were you, I'd review your strategy. Taking off those ruby red partisian glasses might help too. Class dismissed.

So the United States has been duly elected by the "world government" to decide which nations have a right to nuclear energy and which do not?
It's odd how we pride ourselves on democracy as long as it's for us, but then you expect us to exert dictatorial control over some OTHER nation's people.
Uh ... no it's not. How many nations has Iran attacked in the last 2,000 years? I'll wait here for the sure-to-be extensive list.
Ah, so this is an op ed piece, not a news story. Got it.
Why yes, because we all know how many bills the Democrats have been proposing to eliminate the 2nd Amendment. Although I must assume the plethora of anti-gun laws are written in invisible ink on invisible paper. That must be it.
Ed could type in crayon and write some letters backward, but as long as you agree with his point, his posts will be "much better" than "some others." This is kind of a no-brainer, P.I.

No, it's not "The left" who is angry. It is one author who put up a blog at "The Salon," which isn't exactly mainstream media.

I agree with this dj and your previous post. He upped the military 30k and is now slowly taking them out over the next year. I really don't take that as a follow through on his promise to withdraw troops, then again he was not lying. He also did get into the Libya, so I would say he is pro-military/war. The facts speak for themselves.

Iran has the right to have nuclear power if that is what they want..their new plant is supposed to go on line I belive as we speak..build by Russia I beleive..it's the nucs they are not to have...and there is no way I can see except by attacking them with military force , to stop them from going ahead in building them, if they could reach the facilities that are making the weapons grade euranium that is needed, which is a act of war..is this what you are suggesting?
Obama has and is doing as much as he can with sanctions against the country, more then any other president and is in the lead in getting other countries to go along with those sanctions.
There are 80 million Iranians my friend..so we should start ANOTHER war..and just say we did, attack their facilities, and we caused some kind of radioactuive fallout, we are talking about nuclear material here, and next to Iran is Turkey, Russia, Afganistan, Iraq, the Stans, many of them, Pakistan and China..then it moves to Europe..
If they rettaliated against us, our friends, your saying they wouldn't have the right, the other countries if affected by the fall out felt this was a act of war against them...they are getting hit with this fall out..
Obama did nothing to encourage Iran to develope NNuclear Weapons, your statement is just another "edism" with no basis for intelligent consideration..and that is a fact.
