Stephanopoulos: Obama Considered Joining the Military

http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=184086&title=sarah-palin-gender-card

SARAH PALIN IS NOT ON TRAINING WHEELS WE CAN BELIEVE IN
“There’s a lot of complaining that the McCain campaign won’t allow anyone to interview Sarah Palin. And for the major news outlets that would be in line for such an interview there’s a logic to keeping up the drumbeat. But McCain campaign manager Rick Davis is right: It’s their campaign to run. They can do it how they want. Everyone else should just shut up, stop complaining and call the reality for what it is.
Davis says Palin won’t give any interviews until she feels “comfortable” giving one. And this morning he added that she wouldn’t give any “until the point in time when she’ll be treated with respect and deference.”
Sarah Palin could be the President of the United States in four and a half months. We tend to think of this as an abstraction; but it’s true. And yet today she’s so unprepared and knows so little about the challenges and tasks facing the country that she can’t even give a softball interview.
That’s really all we need to know. Yes, she’s off being prepped at some undisclosed location. And I’ve little doubt that by the time her debate rolls around she’ll be sufficiently pumped full of slogans and bromides to make a show of it. But now, this moment, is the one that tells us all we need to know.
As is so often the case, Palin is the incarnation of the Republican slurs. The darling of the hard-right; she gives a stem-winding speeches. She pushes all their buttons. But she’s such a lightweight, they can’t risk letting her answer a few questions. Not even on Fox. They know she’s not ready and probably never will be. But they think the politics might work for them.”

Hahahahaha…LOL. This guy is about to be president?
You see, the media has been successful to portray that W Bush is dumb guy despite the fact that he went to Yale and Harvard Business School. And as it turned out, his grades were better than those of Al Gore and John Kerry. And now the liberal democrats and their faithful media have been successful to portray that Obama is a genius despite his very poor direct and unscripted communication skills. And he does not even have any publications under his name except his two autobios. What a megalomania guy.
Obama’s candidacy is a fraud.

LMAO!

hippie_chucker,
You’re identifier is “hippie_chucker?” I think I just tuned out.
Have a nice Sunday.

Obama got C in political science whwn he was in Columbia…. They don’t want to talk about his Lost years.

Obama is a serial liar.

from the article: “I graduated in 1979. The Vietnam War had come to an end. We weren’t engaged in an active military conflict at that point. And so, it’s not an option that I ever decided to pursue,”
Personally, I graduated in 1983 and DID enlist in the military.
Leadership from the community organization specialist?

Clinton supporter,
Change your name to “Obama hater” or “Republican,” it would be more honest. Or does honesty matter to you?
BTW – If you were able to dig up all this information, what makes you think the rest of us can’t? Whose intelligence are you disregarding? The people you’re trying to convince? Huh.
Maybe we should ask about your grades.

I would like to know the answer to this question – Did Obama write about considering military service in either one of his 2 memoirs/books?
If the answer is no, I am very suspect of his claim in Sept. 2008.

Obama: Mister panderer. There’s nothing he won’t say!

Let’s not be sexist. Did Sarah “consider” joining the military?

mary
It’s not about serving or not serving.
It’s about Obama and his inability to find truth.

Is there a reason that we cannot address Sarah Palin’s military service?

He’s never mentioned it before, not even in two autobiographies, but Barack Obama has suddenly remembered that he considered joining the military.
Obama disclosed that he had once considered serving in the military.
“You know, I actually did,” Obama said. “I had to sign up for Selective Service when I graduated from high school. And I was growing up in Hawaii. And I have friends whose parents were in the military. There are a lot of Army, military bases there.
“And I actually always thought of the military as an ennobling and, you know, honorable option. But keep in mind that I graduated in 1979. The Vietnam War had come to an end. We weren’t engaged in an active military conflict at that point. And so, it’s not an option that I ever decided to pursue.”
UPDATE at 9/7/08 9:12:26 am:
Just one problem with Obama’s little story.
Registration for selective service was not reinstated until 1980.
On March 25, 1975, Pres. Gerald Ford signed Proclamation 4360, Terminating Registration Procedures Under Military Selective Service Act, eliminating the registration requirement for all 18-25 year old male citizens. Then on July 2, 1980, President Jimmy Carter signed Proclamation 4771, Registration Under the Military Selective Service Act, retroactively re-establishing the Selective Service registration requirement for all 18-26 year old male citizens born on or after January 1, 1960. Only men born between March 29, 1957, and December 31, 1959, were completely exempt from Selective Service registration. The first registrations after Proclamation 4771 took place on Monday, July 21, 1980, for those men born in January, February and March 1960 at U.S. Post Offices.

That statement was just so much more political pandering and probably lies. His whole life has been about his self-centered need for attention, not courage or service.

Obama is THE pick of the Iranian government and Hezbullah. They are cheering him on. Enough said!

Obama is such a pandering jerk.
Oh i considered joing the military.
Well you didnt so stop your bs tactics.
This is why McCain will win!!!!

As far as I know, efforts to confirm his registration have been unsuccessful, and Sen. Obama has failed thus far to offer proof of registration, or authorize this information to the general public. It is in the public’s interest to know whether a potential president followed the law during his lifetime.
However, Obama can lay this issue to rest immediately by providing proof of his Selective Service registration, which is required to serve in the Executive Branch. The President of the United States of America is the head of the Executive Branch of government.
Hmmmmm, don’t tell me, I already know – any “proof” is irretrievably lost.
PUMA! McCain/Palin 2008 – In lieu of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Shame on you Obama, are you an American man??
Do we want this kid of person as commander-in-chief, to command our soldiers??????????????????????????????

Sarah Palin just mislead by saying that she ‘put the luxury jet on eBay’ knowing well that people are not going to see it differently from ‘sold it on eBay’ – that’s the argument campaign used to defend her!
Now the mask is off! McCain said that the part he loved most in Palin’s speech was that she ‘sold the jey on eBay’ – No cover-ups possible..liars are out in the open! Let us wait and see what campaign says for this? Or that Palin mislead John as well?

Palin is in charge of the National Guard in Alaska. She has leadership skills in the military. It pays to read: Greta Van Susteren went and got the facts about Governor Palin’s performance as head of Alaska’s National Guard from Major General Craig E. Campbell.” You can check out the interview for yourself.

It is not too late Obama, you can join the military right now. I will see you in Iraq. Remember to bring your friend with you, Senator Bi N-L-A den.

Depends on which military Obama wanted to join. Not the USA.
He already belonged to the African Muslim God Dmn America military of Chicago, Farrakhan, his native country Kynia madrassa, and his followers who throw the American flag in the garbage.
America, no one has done more for you than John McCain, in blood and flesh. A real American Hero including his grandfather and father.

WHAT IS A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER?

Go ahead we could use you and the rest of your slimy, scumbag colleagues who send other people’s children off to fight. And when your kid stumbles into the theater he/she is safely tucked away from the combat zone, and chaperoned like Al Gore. Join the fight Barack! Join the fight McCain, you wanna “follow bin Laden into the gates of hell”, I’ll give you my weapon and a canteen. March on Johnny boy! Nah, you get more money and attention SAYIING you’ll catch him rather than put special forces and the CIA on his butt until we catch and kill ‘em. I guess that makes bin Laden your “useful idiot” to parrot out in some phony tape every time your party needs a couple of points in the approval rating or to deflect the flak from the latest scandal of the week. You won’t catch bin Laden, but your sure as hell get alot of power chasing after the hologram that is the bin Laden/al Quaeda farce inspired “War on Terror.” I guess some CIA assets never stop in their usefulness, do they John/Barack? Oh and thank your son for his imploding of that bank in Arizona. I’m sure somewhere you and your buddy Frank Keating are having a big laugh over that bilking of the taxpayers again. Have a night of fun with Jeanne Palfrey’s girls on me!

30 days from now Obama will be talking like Hillary-McCain. Yes he would have copied policy of Hillary & McCain.
He did not say which military May be he was talking about Osama’s militry

So which McCain do you want to vote for:
There was the one who was for RoeVWade (circa 2000) and the one who is against Roe (circa 2008)
There is the one who is against the bush tax cute (circa 2002) and the one who is for them (circa 2008)
There is the one who said the invasion of Iraq would be easy (2003) and the one who said that he knew it would never be easy (2008)
There is the one who was for immigration reform (2003) and the one who would vote against the bill that he himself wrote (2008).
Sure, McCain was once a maverick Republican, but he isn’t anymore — he’s turned into George Bush. And for those of you who think you are getting one of them or the other, you had better think again… once he gets in office, which one do you think he’ll be?

ch -
THAT IS TOTALLY UNFAIR!!!!

I served on a local selective service board in the early 80s. I honestly can’t remember if prior to that, if young men were required to register (1976 -1980). Anyone know for sure?

Did anyone notice that Obama talked about attacks on his “Muslim Faith”? Then Stepn had to correct him and said; “But you’re Christian.” Obama clarified, but man WHAT A MISTAKE! For the record, I am not religious, but I have no problem with any religion. We all know there are extremists in anything. To paraphrase the late Joseph Campbell, religion is a need of humans, and if it serves to provide a moral compass; as long as it is not used to oppress people, it is all good. Nevertheless, WHAT A MISTAKE TO MAKE RIGHT NOW. Getting thrown off balance huh Obama?

Mr. Obama would not have had the choice to go into the military service in 1979. His admitted drug use would have disqualified him. Perhaps he could have lied on his application.

Larry you are as brain dead as any Republican I have read the post of. Not to mention quite the racist also.

Sure, Bush has done a wonderful job on the economy. What are you smoking?

He should have been an actor, what with his talented reading and all. Besides, he is really good at pulling off other people’s ideals and ideas. He does have a problem being WHOMEVER he really is.

larry man did you mean the job the Republican President and his 49 Senators are blocking and have been since they lost the House and Senate last election, but not enough so the democrats could pass legislation even if vetoed??? is that the job your talking about or is it your crapola speech every Republican gives like drill here drill now as if the oil companies weren’t doing just that when crude was worth 140 a barrel. At that price every oil man was foaming at the mouth to drill.

Pat not a fib an ommision of facts which is the same as lying.

OK Larryman! but is drilling relvant now after gas has gone down? Now is the chance for a long term solution not just mindless drilling! and 2 u Scott, jsut because Obama had aspirations as a young kid doesn’t mean he is not qualified for the job. McCain’s record shows numerous flip-flops in congress and nothing more! Just because a man serves in the military, it doesn’t justify his claim to presidency!

Saudis pay for Obama’s Harvard education?. See Newsmax/Ken Timmerman.
Seems clear. Also, an Obama hate america connection long before Rev. Wright. Obama may have just been gullible but Obama/Panther/Saudi/Harvard connection is real.

Give me a break with all the stupid name-calling. Things like
“Obama hates america” and “McCain is a crook” are just plain stupid. Is there any hope of having a real discussion here?

Gee. I missed that entry in his books. If he had considered it, don’t you think he’d of put it in his books, right next to trying “blow?”

notliberal.
Examples of McCain changing mind on everything? If that is true, and as a cons, I disagree very much, is that a bad thing? Changing mind is one thing, but what Obama does is much more serious than changing mind. If McCain loses this election, The REPS may NEVER have the chance to regroup. If you are really a cons, you have to be really exited about Gov. Palin, NO?

What is scary???
Nancy Pelosi is 3rd in line for the Presidency.
Pelosi and Reid are destroying the House and Senate and are the cause of an approval rating o 9-12%. Pelosi is from SF — so I understand why she keep getting re-elected. But I would think the voters of Nevada would have more sense.

drill.
BEST scenario is two years from drill to pump. If Israel his Iran this fall, it is already too late. Then what? We will keep making excuses for NOT drilling until we are forced onto bicycles or using those things at the bottom of our legs. So wonderful!

Obama: “Small town folk are so confused about the complexities of life that they cling to their bible and tote their guns wherever they go. Now, you people in San Francisco are elite and intelligent and … WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS IS BEING RECORDED?”
“Well, that was probably a poor choice of words …”.

RCP:
Barack Obama 273 John McCain 265 (when no toss ups)
Ladies and gentlemen, this is a dead heat.

You have to love Obama.
First he’s fighting hypothetical opponents (hypothetical John McCain who might, in a possible world, make a comment about his race or alleged Muslim background).
Now, we have Obama telling us of a possible world in which he joined the military.
REALITY is Obama, you DIDN’T join (you probably never even seriously considered it).
The ironic thing is, by this logic since Obama wrote in elementary school that he wanted to be president he has shown his political ambition to precede his love for his country. LOL

Wait a minute…I graduated in 1979 too. This is exactly when the Iranian Hostage Crisis was going on. This is also when America had “the Worst Commander in Chief” in modern history. I joined the Army and served proudly. President Carter destroyed the morale of our military. When Ronald Reagan became President he immediatly change our military for the better. Obama = Jimmy Carter…the Worst Commander in Chief in modern history…not what we need in dangerous times.

I’m not a liberal, but I think drilling is stupid. We have a resource… and it is only going to get more valuable. So we want to sell it now when it is cheap. Just stupid. 4$ a gallon is nothing compared to what gas is going to cost in 10 years. We’ll get 40$ a gallon for it in ten years. Thats a 10x return in 10 years. Pretty good. We should keep the stuff in the ground until the last moment…

I would never accidentally call myself anything I am not. It was interesting. If he is or was Muslim, he should have admitted it and gone: “And what of it?!” In anycase, here is what I will do for you, as proven by my work in…..But he couldn’t do that because there wasn’t much there….

I hope Sarah Palin is asked why she didn’t join the military. And why didn’t Bush or Cheney?

I’m for Obama because I like someone with big ears to tell me where to go. I’m frightened to go anywhere by myself and Obama changes position enough that following him is really interesting.
Come on fellow lemmings – there is plenty of room at the rear of our column. Ready, March!

When you ask people who need jobs who they want, they could careless if the gal or guy has one Muslim head and one Christian head and what color they might be. Mention: JOBS like Hillary did, and you have their attention. Oh yeah and implying they are racist to boot, well that just makes them feel like, becoming one. OBAMA IS A RACE BAITOR and everyone refused to see it. He has divided people that shared a philosophy, but that philosophy turned into criticism of the poor who can’t afford higher education; nice way to make us feel like you’re on our side.

Barack “shape-shifter” Obama finally confesses that rescinding President Bush’s tax cuts or raising new taxes will hurt the economy. (Associated press, 2008) He has amazingly shape-shifted into a tax cutting republican, but don’t hold your breath, in a second he will shape-shift into something new.

ALB.
BUSH WAS IN THE MILITARY – YOU IDIOT!!

What a shame!
We should add a restriction in constitution that, the man who didn’t not join milirary can not join the presidential campaign.

Democrats, lets be true to ourselves, putting Palin on the ticket is a samrt political move by Mccain and they are now dictating the rules by playing the gender card. The elections are not lost yet. Mccain is ahead because of the covention. We wouldnt get a realistic view of the race till Thursday next week. So far, Obama and Biden have been doing well in their interviews. Biden was good today but Obama was excellent. He may have made a slip but everybody understood the direction he was heading and not the bloggers playing games on these blogs. I think Obama has to pull the plug from Mccain-Palin. Let him give an idea of how his cabinet is going to look like and what Hillary Clinton position is going to be. He is behind not because a lot of Republicans are coming out for Mccains but instead a lot of Democrats are moving out from him. he is still beating Mccain on independents but he has to increase Democratic support and the only joker left for him is to indicate where Hillary Clinton will play. He will still win otherwise let him start planning on how to increase the youth vote or the black support. Waoh never thought we could be thrice stupid. And please stop bashing Palin’s family. The biggest movement is not from the ladies but from uneducated white men. Call them whatever, the blue-collar, reagan democrats or working class. He is winning the working class females but the males are leaving in droves and many more are undecided. They dont want to vote Mccain but we are giving them a reason not to vote Obama.

NEWSFLASH! THIS JUST IN:
McCAIN IS ACCUSED OF THEFT!
Apparently still reeling from being caught stealing no less than 12,000 US flags from the Democrats in an overnight raid recently, now authorities are revealing more theft complaints involving McCain and his personal entourage.
As if stealing 12,000 flags and blaming it on local Boy Scouts wasn’t enough, McCain now stands accused of stealing a copy of Gideon’s bible from a hotel in Minneapolis during his stay there for the convention earlier this week.
Hotel employees gave a list of several items missing from the Hotel after McCain stayed there, including the Bible. Other missing items included three cocktail glasses, an ice bucket, several bars of soap, three rolls of toilet paper and those tiny little ketchup and mustard bottles.
Boy Scouts den mothers also expressed their dismay given the recent circumstances surround the wild accusations that somehow Boy Scouts were wandering the Invesco Arena area during the late hours after the DNC Convention and had stumbled upon 12,000 US flags, which they were then alleged to have stolen and having fenced in Minneapolis to the RNC. “I am shocked” said one mother. “Little Jimmy is home by sunset and tucked in by 8:30 every night, including weekends”.
“These Bibles are no longer free to steal” said the Hotel manager anonymously for fear of scurrilous reprisals by Republican fanatics. “It clearly states on the inside cover that you have to send away now for a free copy of the Gideon’s Bible” exclaimed the Hotel manager.
“You can’t just go willy-nilly taking things as if you own the world” the manager added. “I hear he was illegally downloading music off the internet last month to use in his TV commercials to bash the Democrats.”
Apparently McCain has long suffered from a rare disorder called “Hotel Kleptomania” stemming all the way back to his days in the Hanoi Hilton, where staff still insist he would take spoons, which have not been accounted for to this day. McCain still holds a grudge against the Hiltons, recently implicating young Paris Hilton in one of his regular tirades about Barack Obama, his staunch Democratic rival for the presidency.
The Hiltons were not available for comment, but a spokesperson for the Hotel chain said that McCain has been blacklisted from staying at their hotels since the early 70s due to missing items whenever he would stay at one of their hotels.
This is just one more blow to the McCain camp, still reeling from theft accusations including stealing Barack Obama’s political campaign theme and message as well, a message of change and reform. “We knew he had taken the message”, as did several witnesses who spotted McCain, Washington insider and veteran politician for a quarter century, spouting the term change and reform where several members of the American public were gathered.
One witness said he knew McCain had stolen Obama’s message when he heard McCain having tremendous difficulty pronouncing the word “change”. “It sounded so strange coming from Mr. McCain that you could readily see he was unfamiliar with the concept or how to pronounce the word” said one eye witness. A local panhandler handed McCain a dollar, thinking McCain was begging for a hand out. “I just felt sorry for the guy” said the homeless man, he kept saying “change”.
Mr. Obama stated that “This is a sad day for all Americans” and lamented that McCain really had no message or content of his own to use for his campaign. Mr. Obama volunteered to donate his political message and theme to McCain just as soon as he was finished with them, after November 6th.
Democratic supporters feeling bad for poor McCain have started a campaign and are mailing McCain their loose change.

McCain served his country and Obama opted not too. McCain’s a veteran and Obama isn’t. This can only mean that only McCain is qualified to be Commander-in-Chief or to speak on veteran’s benefits. Sorry but, McCain’s got Obama beat in this category hands down.

Obama “My Muslim Faith”
Obama is lucky Stephanopoulos is a Democrat and jumped in to cover that up.

FDR was one of the best WARTIME Presidents with NO military experience. This is a silly side show, there are plenty of OTHER ISSUES ON THE TABLE. Man, I guess one of the things someone is forgetting to teach in Politics these days is FOCUS. THE CLINTONS ARE MASTERS AT THIS, too bad we have Obama instead.

Irma, for almost like a year, i have known you as a vocal Hillary Clinton supporter. I know you are Hispanic and I understand your not supporting Obama but Mccain? You can do better. Hispanics are one the hardest working Americans but they will do themselves a great dis-service supporting Mccain. Mccain that scampered to his base by leaving the hispanics in the middle of the ocean when he needed to please his base. I would prefer somebody who never supported me than someone who wll dump me in the middle of the ocean so as to please a collect-few of people.

Eyes like summer sun; I never stated I support McCain, however I understand the support for McCain. I don’t judge the support, I judge Political strategy. I detest strategy that insults multitudes of people in order to promote one man.

I bet Palin’s daughter is going to have a mysterious “miscarriage”.
Just a thought…

That’s a good point about war-time president.
The last GOOD war-time president that was a republican was LINCOLN, who also had no military background. In fact, some might argue, myself included, that he was one if not the greatest president ever. And yes, HE WAS A REPUBLICAN, Just goes to show you that with a really good president, party affiliation does not matter.
Now, we look at presidents and their performance in wars America was involved in.
LINCOLN – Republican – Led us into a horrible but necessary war to stop Southern secession and to abolish slavery. While very bloody and tragic, the results were what makes us a great nation to this very day.
WILSON – Democrat – Led us into World War I. Another horrible war, which American presence help to end victoriously, putting evil at bay, albeit only for a short period, but also putting America on the map as a super power. Wilson’s and America’s contributions to the world are felt to this very day.
ROOSEVELT – Democrat – Led us into World War II. One of the worst wars of all time, where American presence once again saved the world from the forces of evil, Roosevelt and the US military solidified America’s position as super power and savior of the planet. The accomplishments of WWII are too numerous to outline here. Go read about it more for your further edification.
EISENHOWER – Republican WITH Military background (And an astounding back ground at that!). Oversaw the Korean War, which was actually a “conflict” and whose terms are still not resolved, leaving the conflict open-ended, stalled in quagmire and where America could claim no victory after suffering horrible losses and casualties. The war has left the peninsula of Korea divided to this very day. A failure for America od the biggest magnitude, as it represents America’s first defeat against the horrors of communism.
NIXON – Republican – Oversaw the regrettable defeat and surrender of American Military forces against Vietnam and the evil forces of communism FOR A SECOND TIME! Accomplishments were so unfortunate that many Americans suffered needlessly as POWs, disabled or lost their lives with no tangible results. Today we actually see the Bush administration WORKING with the Vietnamese to help corporate America set up shop there to give the people of Vietnam American jobs! Ouch!
BUSH I – Republican – Led us into the rescue of Kuwait and the first invasion of Iraq. While the accomplishments of the American military were formidable in freeing Kuwait, the military was kneecapped in resolving the Iraq “issue”, leading us to the military quagmire America finds itself stuck in to this very day. A resounding success at one end and a bitter failure at the other, costing America countless casualties and inflicting horrible death toll on innocent people while DESTROYING America’s heroic image as super power and world leader.
BUSH II – Republican – Led us into wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, where the military has yet to achieve the end results of victory, peacekeeper or any other tangible results, managing only to eliminate Saddam Hussein up until now. The most villainous leader of evil of modern times, Osama bin Laden still evades American justice. The results we live this very day: A divided American public, a horrible economy and rabid Democrats and Republicans alike calling for the blood of the opposite side in an election, readily seen on this blog and countless others across the internet.
In conclusion, we clearly see that Democrats, NOT Republicans, have successfully lead us into and out of successful, necessary and relevant conflicts with tremendous strategy, implementation of the US military and positive world benefits in the outcome.
God Bless America! Americans Unite!

I’m a USMC vet of the first iraq war.
Although I like McCain being that he is the soldier, i’m voting Obama. McCain, Bush, and all their neocon friends just don’t understand that their actions are causing more and more people around the world to view America as a target. They have made more terrorists in the world, not fewer. They talk like cowboys, but they don’t think. And after 6 years, where is Bin-Laden? Our country needs new leadership.
Obama ’08

OOOOPs. SUMMERSUN.

Obama did graduate from high school in Hawaii in 1979, but he could not have registered for Selective Service then. Nobody could. In 1975, President Gerald Ford terminated the Military Selective Service Act. It was not reinstated until July 1980. That is one year after Obama graduated from high school. In July 1980, Obama was no longer living in Hawaii. He was living in Los Angeles.

Obama asserted in a Colorado Springs speech that the U.S. needs a “civilian national security force” that would be as powerful, strong and well-funded as the half-trillion dollar Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force. In the July 2 speech in Colorado Springs, Obama insisted the U.S. “cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set.”He continued, “We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.””Big Brother had nothing on the Obamas,” said IBD. “They plan to herd American youth into government-funded re-education camps where they’ll be brainwashed into thinking America is a racist, oppressive place in need of ’social change.’

Oh look – 14 of the 15 stories “On the Radar” are about Obama – what a big surprise!!! And not even one of them is about how he’s now showing how dumb his plan for the economy is since he’s now saying, again what people want to hear, that he won’t stop the Bush tax cuts right away…
That’s just like how he was thinking of joining the military!!! Just another example of him saying what people want to hear…

Cindy,
So after he wins, how do you want him to end the war? Irresponsibly or responsibly???
Seems like a pretty stupid question, but you go ahead and try answering it any way, as practice,

There you go Karen – Good sleuth work!
And that proves??? Oh, that he is mistaken about dates 20 years ago or you are. Who cares?
I know you don’t remember this, but when did you have your first period? Sex for the first time? First break up with a boy friend? Yeah, OK

Cindy duh,
Also, what’s your military expertise based on here when YOU state it will take 5 years?
Surely you are basing this on previous wars America won? Your own military experience when YOU won wars?
Oh, you READ it somewhere…OK, good

Obama asserted in a Colorado Springs speech that the U.S. needs a “civilian national security force” that would be as powerful, strong and well-funded as the half-trillion dollar Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force.

I said 5 plus years… I may not be an expert but I think 90 days was unrealistic.. and I’m not the one running for Commander in Chief. Where is Obama’s expertise? Apparently someone told him 90 days was logistically impossible. And thank you… you said the magic words…. “you read it somewhere.”
Thats the problem with all the Obama followers. These poor people are going to be let down terribly if he elected President. People cannot make up their own minds these days. Whatever is the trend or popular. Listened to what our candidates are saying….. straight out of their mouths. Obama shifts his statements according to what the people want to hear. I cannot wait until the debates.
By the way Duh, I come from a strong, proud military family presently serving overseas (Army and Air Force)!!

Karen, this was very good work. Obama told all Americans that he registered for the selective service after high school in Hawaii. This just shows that he cannot remember events and timing clearly—-he did not register after high school in Hawaii because there was so selective service registration until after July 20, 1980 and he was not even living in Hawaii. What comes out of his mouth must be taken with a grain of salt because he cannot get his events or times right.

Drop and give me 20.
Palin – 08

McCain’s colors- RED, WHITE & BLUE
Obama’s colors- yellow and pink(o)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Now, time for a beer!

RE: McCain’s colors- RED, WHITE & BLUE
Obama’s colors- yellow and pink(o)
Amen, Ed.

We all had to sign up for Selective Service you bofo! That’s not “considering to join the military.” Obama is clearly losing it. Why oh why did we not pick Hillary as our nominee?
Posted by: Joe | Sep 7, 2008 12:04:18 PM
Remember, Joe…Obama wasn’t “elected” the nominee, he was “selected” by the DNC, Pelosi, Dean, Reid and the StupidDelegates!
McCain/Palin 08!
“Country First!”

Here’s the topic Republicans,
SATAN is really SANTA spelled differently.
Discuss amongst yourselves…
HA HA HA HA!

Here’s the topic Demwits,
SATAN is really OBAMA spelled differently.
Discuss amongst yourselves…
HA HA HA HA!

Ed,
JFK was not around long enough to resolve the matter. Small matter of being dead and all. I’d rather remember Kennedy as the guy that bagged Marilyn, got us racing to the moon and left us dreaming of greatness to this very day!
Johnson’s exit strategy was annihilated once he left office. We will never know how he would have ended things.
NIXON began the secret war, lying to the American public while ESCALATING that war into the misery history records it as.
Try harder/ Make America work!
God Bless America! Americans Unite!

“HUH…I noticed you didn’t mention Viet Nam…and who got us in there! Kennedy and Johnson started that war. Nixon eventually got us out!You have your own little view of history!”
***************************************
Actualy it was Ike who first got us involved in Viet Nam. Revbiew your history.

DUH
Unfortunately, when a person lies as many times as Obama has lied, even a truth now and then is difficult to believe!

HUH…Johnson had an exit strategy??!!
We agree for sure on one thing… JFK was boinkin’ Marilyn…and for that I salute him!!! Lucky dead bastard

Thinking not…go and review it yourself. Ike only sent military advisers. JFK was the one who escalated the thing into a full blown conflict!

Ed,
I am glad we were able to find common ground!
Peace brother!

Ed,
BTW, IKE is linked to the Korean conflict. I left him out of the Vietnam thing.
IKE was one of the great guys. God Bless him!
We’re still brothers on the Marilyn thing though!

Sad news for you libs…. Obama’s credentials for Pres are now a bigger issue than Iraq war. War? Aside from an occasional crazy, the war no longer exists. GUESS WHO WON – NO THANKS TO THE PELOSI LOSERS IN CONGRESS!!

Obama joining the military is all very well and good.The way to hell is paved with good intentions. But McCain actually did join the military. Which one do you think knows more about the horrors of war and how to prevent them? Not Obama.

and Obama alluded to McCains not voting for the veteran bill. Of course he didn’t explain that it was money that was the reason. Do you give people a pension for 2 years of service? No But the Dems have the bottomless hole for expenses called the taxpayer and they never have to look like the bad guy with money. They can just give it away. McCain tries to hold the line on pensions and he gets ridiculed. McCain has always supported veterans causes but in this case the pensions were unreasonable after such a short service time.

Thinking
RE. Vietnam. We were a member of SEATO at that time. And it was a time when our leaders had a funny notion that we needed to honor our commitments. This was also a time of the cold war in which communism was a threat to the whole world. I did not vote for Kennedy, but he really makes Obama, Pelosi and company look like a bunch of losers.

Thinking
your knowledge of history is utterly appalling. Home schooled?

BTW, http://www.israelinsider.com posted an article that Obama would be served his court papers of the lawsuit filed by Philip J. Berg, Esq. regarding Obama’s eligibility for presidency.
When I googled Philip J. Berg, I also found a related link saying that:
“The DNC and Barack Obama were served on Sep. 4, 2008 with the legal documents, Civil Action No.08-CV-4083. The DNC was served at 12:00 pm and Sen. Obama at 1:00 pm. The U.S. Attorney’s Office accepted service on behalf of the Federal Elections Committee on Aug.22,2008.”
Why is it that we haven’t heard anything about this from the American MSM? Instead they’re chasing the No.2 on the Republican ticket for stories about her pregnant daughter.
We already know that MSM are pro-Obama, but this reminds me of the John Edwards story that was reported by a tabloid and covered-up by MSM because they didn’t want Edwards’ voters to go to Hillary.

Thinking
your knowledge of history is utterly appalling. Home schooled?
****************************************
Sure Rodney Point out where I was wrong.
Did Ike Commit us to South Vietnam? Did Ike send Military Advisers? Did we send more troops to defend the Military advisers?
Yes, Yes and Yes.
Appalling? you call it appalling without any defense of the statement?

Thinking.
Whether is was Ike or JFK – it was the right thing to do.

Obama is proving again and again that he can LIE without any problem.
Obama = Perpetual IIER

Thinking,
I wasn’t mentioning the fact about JFK, as it wasn’t a “conflict” at that point.
LBJ’s role cannot be defined because he wasn’t there to finish the job, one way or another.
NIXON on the other hand warped the war into an absurd tragedy, as history will show you.
I am SO APPALLED that you didn’t fugure the hierarchy out, LOLOL!

HUH-
I think if you check history- Nixon ended the war in Jan 1973- Johnson escalated the war with the Tonkin Gulf Resolutions. Might want to read this:
http://faculty.smu.edu/dsimon/Change-Viet4.html

I liked LBJ, although I did not vote for him. But, it was LBJ’s lack of commitment to winning that war, that caused it’s continuation. THAT LACK OF HIS COMMITMENT WAS CAUSED BY HIS INDECISION WHICH WAS CAUSED BY HIS CAVING IN TO THE LIB CRAZIES OF THAT ERA. KENNEDY, GOLDWATER OR PRESENT DAY BUSH WOULD HAVE FINISHED IF OFF A HECK OF A LOT SOONER – WITH VICTORY.

jschmidt,
That’s correct and is not in conflict with what I have stated. I think you might want to check history and learn about the NIXON years in the war, specifically the secret aspects and the escalation that resulted from Nixon stating that he was in negotiations with the Viet Cong when in reality he had expanded the war into Laos and Cambodia and intensified the bombardment of the north, etc…
All irrelelvant here. The point of the post is still clear; Republican presidents don’t know how to win wars. The last one was won by a Republican presidentin 1865. You know, the Civil War, where, OH, never mind….

Obama saying he would increase the military is absolutely the opposite of what he said in a taped interview during the last year where he said he would downsize the military and shrink our weapons budget drastically. This would leave the U.S. very defenseless. Obama is a habitual liar.

HUH
As far as I know I was not Talking to you but ED who was Made a comment to you. I have not read your posts.
I picked up the thread from:
Ed | Sep 7, 2008 6:32:59 PM
He made that Statement not me,
It seemed to me that Ed was blaming the Viet Nam War on the Democrats. I was merely pointing out that that was incorrect.
It has nothing to do with Attention span, but everything to do with that I was not responding to you.
I guess I should have said Ed first.
Sorry for the confusion.

Thinking,
Can you please tell me what you are talking about?
JUST KIDDING!
Cool!

Maude: I remember when McCain said those nasty things about little chelsea. I hope he has asked forgiveness for that type of behavior.
I don’t think I want a man with so little heart in charge of our country. If McCain is willing to call a young girl nasty names in front of the whole country…

jschmidt,
Are you really under the impression that I am arguning with you?
Hmmm,
Is this a typical thing to read something in plain English, ignore it and then make an obtuse comment in complete irrelevance to what was stated, reading onto the statement ideas that were not presented?
I don’t think I ever disputed when the war ended.
I just mentioned the facts leading up to that inevitable, infamous day in American history.
However, you go ahead and feel free to continue as if I did not just write this and proceed according to whatever moves you.
The point you need to take with you is a simlpe one, designed for the simplicity of the ever increasingly copmplex mind of folks like yourself.
REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTS DON’T WIN WARS. EXCEPTING LINCOLN, OF COURSE.
I’ll go ahead and make a simple post, devoted to just that single concept, so perhaps other folk, suffering the same condition as yourself may comprehend that idea and use it when deciding the next president.

Just think, Obama would be our first black gay Muslim president. Now that would be a first.

Sarah Palin strongly believes that Men must be paid MORE than women! Sarah Palin also wants to force women/girls that are victims of rape/incest to carry such fetuses resulting from the said rape/incest to full term, then deliver the baby – irrespective of the will of the victim or even her age. And to think that women are cheering Sarah Palin from the rooftops as the poster girl of womens rights who will spectacularly smash through that presidential/Vice presidential glass ceiling.
Some folks wrongly think that being a woman she will moderate or help turn McCain around from his opposition to equal pay to women. Like this statement one Dave from Baltimore, posted on another site:”I hope Palin breaks with McCain on equal pay for equal work – it would pave the way to a better future for her four children and grandson.”
Are you kidding me?!!! Gov. Palin is even more hardcore in her opposition to equal pay for WOMEN, than is McCain. Sarah Palin believes that women must be paid LESS than men – no ifs and buts about it. Period.
McCain, when pushed about his vote AGAINST giving women equal pay as men, has tried to flip-flop saying that ‘if women are to aspire to equal pay, they must first aspire to achieve college eduction”.
In other words, in McCain’s world, only college educated women shall be extended equality with men in terms of pay/wages. Sarah Palin’s views about (rather against) equal pay for women are very straightforward, and cast in stone: Women must get paid LESS than men. College educated or not, when it comes to pay parity, women are less than men. Coming from a Woman herself, its ironic, but true!
Kind of like an Afro-American person advocating slavery and segregation of the black population!! Wierd isn’t it?
Strangely, Sarah Palin is being trumpeted as the symbol of a woman smashing through the glass ceiling!
(We are not even going into her strident opposition to abortion even if the pregnancy is a result of rape/incest, and the victim wants to abort the fetus. Sarah Palin believes that such rape/incest survivors must be forced to carry the fetus resulting from rape/incest to term, then deliver the baby. NO exceptions, no termination. If such a woman chooses to abort the baby, she commits a crime, and must be tried as a criminal and punished for opting to abort the fetus. Even if the pregnant female is a MINOR child, she would still have to deliver the baby.
Just so you know, several courts in the country have allowed visitation/parental rights to rapists and the parents or rapists to meet and bond with children born due to the said rape.
I shudder to even imagine what happens when victims of rape/incest are forced to bear the children resulting from the rape (one Sarah Palin’s wishes becomes the law), and then having to drop off the child at the rapists (child’s father) door for court sanctioned visits to dad. What would go through the mother’s mind? Would such rapists not molest these children all over again. What if this rapist rapes this child/daughter all over again…repeating this unbelievably grotesque cycle!!!!!!
Is this American women we are talking about or some burqa clad subjugated women from some Taliban country?!

There is a 22 degree earthquake comming to republican party.
Palin may be impeached from Alaska as goverenor…
Sept. 5 (Bloomberg) — Half of U.S. voters said first-term Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, doesn’t have the experience needed to be an effective president, according to an ABC News poll.
The entire republican campaign is based on no factual facts,because they cannt give a list of any progress in USA
ECOMONY. The only words out of the past is death ,death and military. If there is one republican who is ready to stand uo and tell the american public . How many jobs have you created for USA citizens .
How many have you helped achieve home ownership..
HOW many Americans are better off then they where 8 years ago.
How have you managed the USA banking system to aviod a collaspe as when daddy Bush was in all savings and loans callaspe. and had be be bailed out . please if you have any self respect at all please explain all the wonderfull accomplishments you have completed for USA ecomony…
Her husband, Todd, twice registered as a member of the Alaskan Independence Party, a fierce states’ rights group …
This is not mccains agenda I smell huge conflict and party war down road of campain…for Republican party
First, she announced that her unmarried 17-year-old daughter, Bristol Palin, was pregnant. Among the other revelations:
—A private attorney is authorized to spend $95,000 of state money to defend her against accusations of abuse of power.
—Palin sought pork-barrel projects for her city and state, contrary to her reformist image.
—Her husband once belonged to a fringe political group in Alaska, with some members supporting secession from the United States.Palin could face impeachment if she is found guility of office abuse this would really be a railroad spike in republican party

360group-On the investigation of Palin-the Democratic chair of the states Judiciary committee is pushing this probe on Palin. Sound like a Democratic hatchet job on a Republican Governor.In a July 31 interview with CNBC, Palin defended the dismissal of Monegan, saying, “It is a governor’s prerogative, a right, to fill that Cabinet with members whom she or he believes will do best for the people whom we are serving.”Palin promised her full cooperation. KTUU reported that Wooten’s personnel file, which was released at his request, showed that Palin and her husband filed an unspecified number of complaints against him during the custody case. Court documents included an e-mail that Sarah Palin sent as a private citizen to the director of the troopers division in August 2005, accusing Wooten of drinking in his patrol car, “illegal hunting techniques,” firing a Taser at his young stepson and threatening to kill her father. An internal investigation, which dismissed many of the complaints. Wooten was, however, suspended for 10 days for shooting a moose and using the Taser on his stepson, a suspension that Monegan later reduced to five days.Wooten remains a state trooper, and the matter never came to wide public attention until last month, when Monegan accused Palin’s husband and gubernatorial staff of having leaned on him to fire the trooper.
Tasr’d his stepson- guy deserved to be fired
Palin had a 85% approval rate in Alaska which is 76% higher than Nancy Pelosi and Nancy is third in line for the Presidency. So talk to me again how Sarah Palin is not qualified. Sarah is more qualified than Obama.

HE LIED !!!!!!!
The earliest he could have registered is July 1980, over 1 year after he graduated. He would of been in Harvard. Draft registration was not available for him until then. He is caught, and can’t weasel out of this. An insult to all veterans.

This brother is either full of sh-t or he is on crack!

Republicans don’t have intellegence of a kangaroo. They were unable to manage protection of USA and mantain
viable ecomony in USA. OBAMA is the only person who has phd in law ,and will be able to protect country and build ecomony . The republican party just does not have the education to
qualifications

Serving in the military is not a prerequisite to be president. If he didn’t consider serving, I’d have more respect for him if he said so. But this new revelation that he considered joining strikes me as total pandering. I could be wrong, but there’s nothing in his history or past statements to support such an attitude.

Hmmm… while I did not read all the comments bcause most of them were boring and stupid, let me cut to the chase here.
Who gives a crap about Sarah Palin and her military service or lack thereof? She never made it an issue. However the teflon candidate Obama brought it up, so that makes his service or lack therof, very much fair game.
I think Robert Heinlein had the right idea when he described a society where NO ONE had the right to vote or hold public office til they had served a stint in the service. However, since we don’t have that sort of a society yet, I’d say that I prefer the McCain/Palin ticket where we have someone with a full career in the military (with executive experience), with a VP that is a supporter of the military and self-determination (with executive experience), vs. a candidate with nothing but shadows, doubts, lies and a distinct aversion to the truth in his past, with no executive experience, with a VP nomination that comes from one of the smallest states in the union, no service history, and again no executive experience, and only spent 4 YEARS working at a law firm before going into public office.
Who best represents the American people? A team that fought for us and experienced what it’s like to work for a living? Or a team of elitist snobs that have never broken a sweat in honest physical labor in their entire lives? I’m going with the former, and that is most certainly Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin.

Obama considered the military? FFS, HOW STUPID DO WE LOOK?
INFIDEL>

Tell me he’s kidding?
The reason many Clinton supporters will not vote for Obama is because they are embarrassed of him, his life, his unfair tactics and his beliefs. And they still don’t know all about him.
1. They don’t want a candidate that has been in a twenty year relationship with Reverend Wright and the Trinity United Church of Christ.
2. They don’t’ want a candidate that has a twenty year relationship with Father Pflaeger and refers to him as his compass in life
3. They don’t want a candidate that went to a church that supports Louis Farrakhan, an anti Semitic racist, that has led a rally of 20,000 Nation of Islam members to support Obama in Chicago
4. They don’t want to defend Black Liberation theology.
5. They don’t want a candidate that lies about his relationship with Tony Rezko, the Syrian Criminal that sold his property to Obama and supported his campaign.
6. They don’t want a candidate that could work with a domestic terrorist, William Ayers.
7. They don’t want a candidate that Hamas supports.
8. They don’t want a candidate that Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam support
9. They don’t want a candidate that has a wife that has just now realized she was proud of our country.
10. They don’t want a candidate that denies Florida and Michigan their voices
11. They don’t want a candidate that mentions 57 states in his speeches. 50 states in the USA and 57 states in the Nation of Islam (IOC website)
12. They don’t want a candidate that fights unfair and hyjacks Michigan delegate votes from his opponent.
13. They don’t want a candidate that is inexperienced, especially dealing with military issues.
14. They don’t want a candidate that considers it a loss to not to be able to attend his anti American, racist Church.
15. They don’t want a candidate that has a “non practicing” Muslim father, but avoids the entire discussion of his father.
16. They don’t’ want a candidate that won’t debate
17. They don’t’ want a candidate that misleads the youth with an ‘Obama girl and her behind in their face”
18. They don’t want a candidate that says he’s an African American and missed the MLK Remembrance Day and the Louisiana Black Caucus meeting
19. They don’t want a candidate that enjoys laughing at sexism.
20. They don’t want a candidate that switches his position on gun control, FISA, the war in Iraq and abortion issues.
21. They don’t want a candidate that showcases his daughters on TV shows.
22. They don’t’ want a candidate that has poor judgment..
23. They don’t’ want a candidate named; Barack Hussein Obama
24. He is embarrassing.
25. He scares them to death.

Iran’s leadership has expressed “great pleasure” at the prospect of a Barack Obama victory in November, according to Menashe Amir, the Iranian-born head of Radio Israel’s Persian language service.
Iranian religious leaders said if Obama will enter the White House, then Islam will conquer the heart of the American nation
The Iranian leadership likes Obama “mainly because he is a Muslim,” according to Amir. His first name, Barack, comes from “al-baraq,” which is the name of the horse that Muslims believe Muhammad rode on his way to paradise. If he wins the election, Muslims will be very proud of such a conquest, such a win.

NOBAMA,,, NOSAMA,,, OR CHELSEA’S MOMMA,,,
I wanted to join the military,,,, this guy is such the talker,,, he will probably later come out and say “no. but what I really meant,,,”
Well we were in a conflict in 1979,,, I was in the military,,, the US Navy…. not only was the “cold war” in full bloom,,, but also in November 1979,,, Iran took our embassy hostage holding 52 Americans captive for a total of 444 days,,, into January of 1981… Within hours of the signing in of President Reagan… Yea,,, I floated around the Persian Gulf a lot in that time,,, onboard the GREAT aircraft carrier,,, THE USS MIDWAY!!!
It is too easy to look back and say “I wanted to join the military,,, BUT,,, ” that makes me sick,,, this guy has a gift of saying to anyone what they want to hear,,, TRUE or FALSE…
This is as bad as Mr. Obama making the remark on Mr. Bill O’Reilly’s show how the surge in Iraq” succeeded beyond wildest dreams”,,, another sick comment this man has made!!! It was only in July (July 15th,,, factually) that he made his comment,,, the Iraqi surge has hurt Americans interests,,, why would he even open his mouth like this BEFORE going to Iraq???
More dribble from Mr. Obama,,,
“In the 18 months since the surge began, the strain on our military has increased, our troops and their families have borne an enormous burden, and American taxpayers have spent another $200 billion in Iraq,” he said.
And in these days with video and video recorders,,, it is harder to say something and get away with it,,, Thank you, You Tube!!!
You can view more interesting video,,, coming straight out his mouth on You Tube!!!
If we are now electing our presidents based on the ability to make a good speech,,, maybe we should start recruiting from high school and college debate classes,,, we could get by with far less pay also….

Mr. Obama,,, always wants to play the victim,,,, what a shame,,,
Mr. Obama was the one who brought up the race card also by him stating,, first it was,,, Oh,,, and by the way,,, did we mention he was black,,,, then it was Oh,,, and by the way,,, did we mention,,, he doesn’t look like the other presidents,,, Well here,,,, OH,,, AND BY THE WAY,,, DID WE MENTION,,, SHE IS,,, CUTE???? May God Bless Senator John & Cindy McCain and Gov Sarah & Todd Palin,,, and may our God continue to Bless America !!! McCain & Palin 08 !!!

Ever notice how he has to lean his head to one side with that deer in the headlight look when asked a question. He has a hard time maintaining eye contact when he is lieing which is when his big ol lips are moving under that big ol hose between them big ol ears. He could make a fortune in a freak show if he ever gets tired of being the laughing stock of America!

I for one am thoroughly glad that obama didn’t decide to join the service. I would never have wanted him covering my ass. much less anybody elses. he’s not military material as for as i and my veteran buddies believe. he just doesnt have the right mindset. i make this statement based on what i have read about him and his comments and printed record of his deeds. it’s probably just a political ploy to make him look like he was ‘patriotic’ and was thinking about heeding the call to ‘protect the U.S. against any and all threats foreign and domestic’. if he had enlisted he probably would have joined the ranks of those dangerous and risky soldiers/sailors/marines that were fragged.
I was a U.S. Navy and Air Force Combat Vet of several years.

Truth is Obama is showing signs of emotional dysfunction, just short of full blown mental illness. That’s why he leans his head to the right and stammers so much when answering unscripted questions. I agree, Hillary would have been the better candidate, at least she is just an angry leftist in search of a taste of the treasury. Obama is made evil by his black liberation philosophy and Muslim leanings.

I hope you all are enjoying this silly little debate over him considering joining the military…who really cares…what does it have to do with anything? All I can say is, I had more money in my pocket after everything was paid eight years ago than I do now. I know I could buy everything I needed without worrying if I had enough money for gas. The bottom line is, over the last eight year the republicans have lied about everything and they have used fear to control simple minded Americans. The two smartest people in politics…Rove and Cheney. They can get you suckers to believe anything….even after evidence shows they lied!!! When are you guys going to deal with that?

Actually, Lincoln DID have some military experience. He was elected a captain in the militia during the Black Hawk War of 1832. While he did not see real action, he did command troops and did come across farmers who had been killed by Indians.

If only there was a war to fight, the
” Chosen One ” would have joined?? This guy is the gift that just keeps giving. For all of his supposed intelligence he sure says an awful lot of stupid things.

OK, and we, the gullible masses, are supposed to just eat that load of crap? We’re not all your “sheeple”, Obama. Or, were you referring to someone ELSE’s military, like that of the Soviet Union or the PLO?

Michael Gray, RE: why didn’t Obamallah mention his one-time desire to join the military in his books? VERY good question.

It was either the military or community organizing.

RE: ScottinVA. yep; it’s a good question, as is most of what obama’s got to say or doesn’t say; i.e. dadminnesota says it best.

Is he saying he “WOULD” have joined if the war was still going in 1979?

Duh, he didn’t join because they was NO war? LOL. As if he would have bypassed college and joined the army if we were at war. What a joke.

getwhatyoudeserve if that is indeed your real name. my goodness you are one vapid person with little or no real understanding of the facts. Though you do have a way of writing that I’m sure is interesting to those people that have no interest in actual facts.
I shall attempt to enlighten your kookaid blinded mind.
first, eisenhower did not lead us into korea moron, truman (a dem) did that. and it was our first UN mission. which of course doomed it to stalemate or worse. In fact it was only When Eisenhower was president that any military gains were made.
Lie number #2. Nixon did not lead us into vietman. it was two dems, kennedy and lbj. Again it was only after Nixon became president that the war was ended.
Lie number #2b- the clinton administration led the way in the normalizing of relations with vietnam.(mccain big supporter) not the bush administration. Again your writing style is not restrained by the truth. I hhope you people reading this understand that this kind of writing is jjust SOP for the left. it’s called misinformation, and it sounds good.
Lie #3 Bush 1 led us into a “military quagmire” we’ll that was not true, since there were less then #400 deaths related to combat in that Liberation of Kuwait, which by the way, was what the UN agreed to when the whole thing started. It was done in less then a 100hrs. that is leadership.
Lie#4 Since the war in Iraq is nearing an end, a victorious end. In fact US troops will be handing over security of bagdad by the end of summer, many deployments have been canceled or postponed, and double the amount of young men where shot to dealth in chicago last year then in Irag and Afganistan, I would say maybe, when all iis said done this stratagy could be considered very bright. After all folks, this nation has not been attacked since we started attacking the enemy. And since the surge has been so brillently successful, more troops have died in training then did in combat in Iraq. Sadam is not killing his people, the tailiban is not exacuting woman in soccer stadiums, and planning attacks on NY, Or va, or wherever.

I was for it before I was against it…err no wait..I was against it before I was for it….I am soooo confused George help me out here…
Seriously Senator don’t use our brave military to push for votes. It only makes you look……

Considered joining is a long fall from joining. I enlisted in 1973 in the Air Force and served 20 years. My sons did enlist in the Marines, and served two tours in Iraq If it mattered to Obama, he would have done it. He still can, the Army would take him. Talk is cheap, and frankly he put himself in a bad position by mentioning it in the way he did. He would have done better not to have said a thing.

Barry the LIAR Obama, you never considered the military and you did NOT have to sign up for the Selective Service as it had been discontinued from 1973 to 1980. What a LOSER BHO !!!

Gee, you think he would have mentioned that in his two memoirs. He talked about everything else.
Thinking about and doing are two very different things.

……and to think George S did not correct him on the selective service issue like he did with The big O’s faith and religion………
Only his hairdresser knows for sure….

LARRYMAN,
The only “drilling” that has been going on have been by Levi :) So please leave my Mommy out of it.
BTW, I asked you yesterday, If you would marry me? I am still waiting for that answer before I have to wed this myspace redneck.

How could he register for selective service after high school in 1979 when it wasn’t instituted until 1980? I am constantly amazed at how the people in the MSM constantly overlook anything this guy says. He’s lying, plain and simple.

DEMOCRAT PARTY SHLD CHANGE TO
OSAMA-BIDEN PARTY
OBAMA STANDS FOR = OSAMA
BIDEN STANDS FOR = BINLADEN
BE CAREFUL AMERICAN PEOPLE

=====================================
Tellthetruth, why are you not telling the truth? You wouldn’t know about the economy if it was stuck up your butt.
The economy was great until democrats took over house and senate. Why don’t they boost oil supplies?????
I’ll tell you why since you can’t see past the boogers in your nose.
Because they don’t WANT the economy to improve right now. All they would have to do is ANNOUNCE the drilling of oil and the future price would drop under a dollar and the price of gas would drop back to $1.50. Then all the transportation costs would drop, people would eat our again, buy more goods. Why is it that any normal idiot can see that?
GW was in the service, RIGHT, that was a hell of a lot more than Slick Willie OR the “community organ grinder” did. I too was in the Marines state side. I was able to go to college while in the Marines.
What does New Orleans have to do with anything? Oh, I remember, Bush killed all those black people on purpose, Right?????
Good thing there was a REpublican Governor there now or even more would have died.
Had enough?
Palin – 08

Mary – “Two of our most respectd Presidents in times of was were Lincoln & FDR. Neither one served in the military”. So you know: Lincoln served as a Captain in the Illinois Militia (Infantry Division) during the Black Hawk War of 1832, and FDR, while not a sailor, served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy 1913 – 1920.

“HOLD THAT LINE”
Did you know you were stronger than you think; Your weakness is not your weakest link.
Yet you countinue in curiosity; Not paying attention to what you do now, for how it turns out to be.
Holding on to what you cannot let go; It Is not just a job, but a part of life you have come to know.
AMERICA you see is heridity; Exhibited through out history.
The first AMERICANS were Indians, known by their tribes; Centuries later they still survive.
No matter how many generations it may take; To right the wrong is the stand they make.
The Underground Railroad was more than what it seemed; There was a UNION in the songs that the slaves would sing.
Guidance for those strong enough, whose spirit heard the call; Escape in a time when there was no Labor Laws.
Religions are committed, a committment many of us make; The fellowship of people, for all that could be lost, is what is at stake.
Many leaders who have not lived to see today; We continue on, with the strength from the prayers we have prayed.
Retirement is not an act; Retirees have UNITED to keep their benefits in tack.
Youth starting out in the world, but do not know who they are;Employers know, if we do not teach them, they will not go far.
Cultures banning together to escape their suffering, still by boat; UNITED, their governments knew their actions was no joke.
Lives sacrificed trying to cross the borders; Lying to live where there is a better order.
Wild life corral together, for each others co-existence; Stead fast is their UNION, born with natural instincts.
Yesterday people suffered, fought and died; What else could they loose when they still had their pride.
Wars, where are our soldiers are ordered to go;To fight, is it right? Who really knows.
The lost of body parts, minds mangled, to death; Soldiers, their families, communities, all gasp their breaths.
From the stone age, to the computer technologyis this all we have learned;While AMERICAS jobs leave AMERICA, is Big Business concerned.
Today we still hear CHANGE and respond to the cry; Strong spirits that will not let the injustice be pushed to the side.
Tomorrow – We prepare our next generation for, to face with clarity or disparity; Our families and our homes are our first charities.
Thank the Lord for all His blessings and that He gave you another day; That in UNITY, you have a VOICE, and it has been heard, all that you have to say.
Did you know you were stronger than you are lead to think; Your weakness is not your weakest link.
As time goes on and future history, we cannot tell; A new hope, as in the political arena, History, evolves the minorities, has been unveiled.
Your VOICE is your VOTE, peacefully assembled, the AMERICA of all cultures who can vote under God; Not violence, Not drugs, Not alcohol.
Representatives fromacross this country, assurance of the responsibility; For improvements to todays and tomorrows generations of life’s quality.
With the neagtives of different eclectics, to narrowed minded to support it; The response to a call, defying cultural identity, this has not been aborted.
Still THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, a strong spirited pride unleavened to persevere; It cannot be coerced, restrained, or liquidated because you AMERICA CARES.
AMERICA knows it is stronger than closed minds could think;Revealing that young to the elderly, military men and women, veterans, low income, homeless, middle class, the rich, the workers, the handicapped, old and new political parties, scandels, drugs, viloence, as some of many labels and steor typed discriminations are not some of AMERICAS weakest links.
Persistence, with knowledge as our power; For success will shine with assurance for THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ON THAT DAWNING hour….
Irregardless of what comes with time; Our SUCCESS with our AMERICA is when UNITED WE “HOLD THAT LINE”
