President Obama Makes Surprise Visit to Baghdad

“Obama looking out the planes door: Is it safe to go out there?
Security: OF course Mr President… The SURGE you voted against worked..Thanks to George Bush
Obama: DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”
You have a very active, if delusional, imagination.

I can’t wait til he comes home and brands the Tea Party activists as racists. No, he won’t do that. He’ll just have his army of brain-washed Kool-aid drinkers do that for him.

During the president’s stopover he also spoke to about 700 U.S. service members, including Vice President Biden’s son Beau, at Camp Victory, the sprawling American camping that is a short car drive from Baghdad airport.
=========================
Did he call any of John McCain’s boys that are over there

I’m old enough to remember the Carter administration well. Just like Obama, he was a weak, America-is-always-wrong type. In the beginning the public loved him. The Republican Party was dead!!! By the end of his first term, the American people were ready for him to go. Turns out, the Republican Party wasn’t so dead after all. I see history repeating itself.

“Let’s see how badly he can trash America while he’s talking to the Iraquis.”
It wouldn’t be out of line to apologize for the 100,000+ Iraqi deaths resulting from the U.S. INVADING THEIR COUNTRY. But I doubt he’ll do it.

“We are proud a majority of military votes went to Obama.”
Odd that I saw this same comment on another forum- different poster. Obama received 44% of the military vote, FYI.

A democratic and free Iraq is Bush’s fault.

“A democratic and free Iraq is Bush’s fault.”
A democratic and free Iraq is of no consequence whatsoever to the U.S. Except, of course, for the 4,000+ dead soldiers and countless money blown.

“For REAL. The cut and paste move is the intellectual (heh) property of the RIGHT!”
Then you would know a lot about Baghdad and life there, right?

Karzai urged to explain harsh law
“Canada joined allies Friday in putting new pressure on Afghanistan’s president to explain a proposed law which, according to media reports, would legally allow men to rape their wives.”

“Then you would know a lot about Baghdad and life there, right?”
Just second hand. And honestly, I really don’t care about life in Baghdad. I mean, I’m glad that they’re all covered in freedom dust and all, and that the violence seems to have subsided for the time-being, but I just don’t care. I’m still bitter about the fabrication and the fatalities. It’s going to be awhile before I can let that one go, when on the subject of Iraq.

Oh puhlease, clear photo op. Did he visit the troops in the German hospital during his big speech there in the campaign? Nope, cameras not allowed, so not worth it. Did he mention to these troops that he had wanted to cut their health benefits if they were injured in combat, before it was shut down by all the Vets groups?
Oh, and did he mention that he bowed down before the Saudi king in a most subservient way, called Americans “arrogant” too?
Disgrace to our beloved soldiers.

what’s bush’s problem anyway? helping all those iraqs and stuff? barry’s keeeping it real. we gonna be getting paid now. usa loves acorn

“A democratic and free Iraq is Bush’s fault.”
A democratic and free that cost us over 4000 American men and women and half a trillion dollars and cost the Iraqis at least 100,000 innocent lives.
Also so Bush could play soldier and put on his flight suit.

“Also so Bush could play soldier and put on his flight suit.”
Don’t forget the banner! Ups the arrogance-factor something fierce.

“It also gives a heads up to those at home who can’t figure it out for themselves.”
Blaming Bush is not only an immature action, it is also deliberate by Obama to appease his left wing base, whose support will be critical as he expends the war in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

“at least bush can throw a baseball unlike joey boy”
It was reported Biden launched a high, floating flutterball towards the home plate area. No word yet if anyone in the upper deck was injured.

“He needs to grow up.”
No, he’s plenty mature. Bush was in need of growing up, though. That was for sure. I think he got the dose of humility that he needed. Seems like an alright guy now. But diplomatically, Obama wanted to swiftly distance himself from many of Bush’s policies, and certainly the tone. It was not at all inappropriate, and in fact, was VERY refreshing to many of us.

“It was not at all inappropriate, and in fact, was VERY refreshing to many of us.”
Of course you believe that. Most people who reject the idea of personal responsibility, will blame others for their errors and failures to make themselves look good. Liberals/progressive tend to have this peculiar trait.

Even the President of the United States cannot go where he wants sometimes…grounded by weather.
Why didn’t Mr. Maliki drive out to the airport and meet him?

“Ha. Nice try. He was spot on and you know it.”
There is no rational explanation other than that for Obama’s behavior of constantly blaming his predecessor. If it is a deliberate political ploy to appease the left, he should be shamed for that.

Obama loves the troops so much he was willing to make them pay for their own health care.
Obama put it on the table–he wanted more money and that’s what BO considered.
Many of the troops are young kids and sadly some are probably drinking the kool-aid.

To Tyler – FALSE: “Obama loves the troops so much he was willing to make them pay for their own health care.”
Not true. There was never a “Proposal”, it was one of many items discussed, but it was never a proposal.
In his budget, which is a proposal, Obama asks for an INCREASE in money for troops, support, and VA services… all an increase over what was provided under Bush.
That is a fact.

“Of course you believe that. Most people who reject the idea of personal responsibility, will blame others for their errors and failures to make themselves look good. Liberals/progressive tend to have this peculiar trait”
Hmmm kind of like Katrina was the fault of local and state agenices not the Arabian Horse trainer put in charge of FEMA.

I take issue with the fact that I have been fighting a war started on the false pretext of nonexistent WMD.
For the first time in a long time the brightest guy in the room is also the the most powerful man in the room. My Commander in Chief.

“I take issue with the fact that I have been fighting a war started on the false pretext of nonexistent WMD. ”
Are you a volunteer soldier?

“Are you suggesting that people’
No. I was asking if he is a volunteer soldier? He hasn’t replied.
