It looks like to me that Obama has no clue what he is doing. I have a picture of him in my head of him playing hacky sack and waxing sophomoric philosophy that he doesn’t understand because he has not lived long enough….

and please, Pres.Obama, smoke, smoke, smoke those cigarettes

He is their CIC, so a salute is appropriate…shaking hands is not, better to just nod.
That marine is not a friend, he is there for a purpose.

He may be their CinC on paper, but never, not no way, not no how, will they think of him as their Commander. I agree that shaking his hand is stupid and weak, but I’m glad he doesn’t have the nerve to salute them, and I’m sure he doesn’t know how.

Just walk on by, loser. I’m workin’ here.

Playful cat, meet injured baby bird.

+10. Seriously Jake Tapper is the one of the few people in the press that gives me hope that the future of news may, in fact, be newsgathering.

Is there any oxygen left in D.C., or is it a vacuum now?

Spaceballs moment? Who’d known?

They either make me feel too drowsy to watch, or I start blurting mantras:

Chinese Torture/Gibbs’ Press Conf.
Cuban Prison/Gibbs’ Press Conf.
North Korean Trial/Gibbs’ Press Conf.
Traffic Jam, Puerto Rico, 3:00 PM/Gibbs’ Press Conf.
Limb Pulling/Gibbs’ Press Conf.
Days Of Our Lives/Gibbs’ Press Conf.

So on, and so forth… =-P

Eh. He never served in the military, so it’s not like he’s going to salute them.

And this ought be brought back out of mothballs and enjoy a second viral life. “I am a believer in, um, knowing what you’re doing, when you apply for a job. . .” Back in the day when Obama still knew that fat meat’s greasy.

Interesting. I watched that. He sounded like a normal, likable person back then. How he has changed.

ROFL.

And he never did release a complete detailed health report….

OK. Now all this – I think you are all correct, there could be health problems, but more importantly, there could be any number of face-saving scenarios that could be concocted that would not only allow him to resign, but which would also allow his supporters to have sympathy for him.

This would be preferable – for him – to supporters turning on him, or seeing through to the fact that the emperor wears no clothes.

Myself, I’d prefer the later, for learning purposes. Then again, allowing a man to save some face and retain much of his fan base is a compromise I could live with.

For the media to act self-righteous and indignant for asking questions now that they should have hammered on two years ago is the vilest hypocracy.

If things keep going south for the One they way have been, and it’s highly likely they will, perhaps by the time John Ziegler’s documentary comes out the public will be more interested in the question “Why didn’t we know about Obama’s lack of experience/competence before?” Obviously, since Ziegler’s documentary will offer an answer to that question, it may fall on more (and many more) receptive ears than expected.
