Blackwater’s existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to Obama, saves lives… Obama wants Blackwater on that wall. Obama needs Blackwater on that wall.

Wow! Obama said “I am the one who has been opposed to those operators.” and for a while his life depended on them.
“Blackwater is getting a bad rap.”
Obama doing what he does best. Telling people what they want to hear as long as it suits his needs of the moment. He’ll be back to opposing them again now that he’s safe.

Perhaps he was confused by the name of the company, and it wasn’t what he thought it was?

Irony is indignant.

Maybe they let him shoot a bunch of random iraqi civilians while he was there. Cuz that’s what I’ve always understood blackwater does.
The liberal media loves to distort the truth. At worst they out right lied. At best they have no idea what they are reporting. Morons leading morons.
Blackwater are not mercenary. They are body/security guards. They never lost a person in Iraq that they were protecting. Blackwater’s operators have clear rule of engagement. The majority of them are ex military, discipline, and have saw combat before joining Blackwater.

yeah, what he said. Tops anything I was going to say about delicious irony.
“Blackwater is getting a bad rap” until Obama is asked a question by the left where he’ll have to condemn these “unregulated, uncontrolled private contractors wreaking havoc on innocent populations.”

Who is the brave soul who is going to post this over a kos and huffpost?

“Blackwater, screw them” ~ Markos Moulitsas, the Kos-god
“Markos, they provided security for Obama, in Iraq” ~ A Kos Kid
“Too bad, screw them anyway…mhhhhh,…too late to unscrew them now” ~ Markos
They shoulda effed with him a little. Every cherry boy noobie gets it when they first get in country.
Maybe a camel spider in his Dolce & Gabana carry on luggage. I’d love to see his puss when he reached in to grab his body glitter or nail file and pulled out this!

This isn’t funny; it’s another in a growing list of issues in which this pansy has made a loud, obnoxious public criticism of a person or company or policy on which he knows absolutely nothing, only to have to change it later when he inadvertently is made aware that he is full of spit.

This obviously means Blackwater is using Obama as their puppet, and they will secretly control the country when he is elected.

Thanks for the PW link — now more than evah.
Must say the regular PW commenters disappointed me a little by not jumping on the Doobie Bros. reference.

Obligatory “That’s not the Blackwater I knew”
