In Memorial Day Speech Obama Brags About ‘Ending’ War in Afghanistan …(No One Applauds)

May 25th, 2015 12:32 pm 79 Comments

On Memorial Day at Arlington Cemetery Barack Obama took credit for ending the War in Afghanistan.
He learned nothing from his actions in Iraq.

For many of us, this Memorial Day is especially meaningful. It is the first since our War in Afghanistan came to an end. Today is the first Memorial Day in 14 years that the United States is not engaged in a major ground war…

…This may be the first year since the end of our War in Afghanistan. But we must be acutely aware that our men stand watch and still serve and still sacrifice around the world… Several years ago we had more than 100,000 troops in Afghanistan. Today fewer than 10,000 troops remain on a mission to train Afghan forces.

Of course, no one applauded this nonsense.

    He is the me, president. Ego is astonishing on this guy. Everything is about him. On this day of all days, he couldn’t just stay the course and show respect for our military and for Former President Bush. Bush had a strategy and those strategies were put to use during Obama time in office.

    The only person Obama has respect for is himself and history will prove that Obama was the worst president in American History.

    God Bless our Troops and God Bless America. No matter what Obama may say, we are the most powerful nation in the world. Obama has been skating along and his lack of leadership is evident to every Man and Woman who has pride in this nation and Obama will never take that away from us, ever.

    At dinners and teas the elite gathers and will talk about Obama and laugh and
    laugh, hoping all the while no one will know their true feelings.

    Obama never had experience
    to lead from day one. He is a failure at leadership and he is and all
    around failure now.

    Books will be written
    about Obama and they will not be kind. Future generations will question why he got away with all of
    his failures so easily.

    Now, for those who didn’t know a great president and a great speech, here you go, one of the best, if not the best.

    I was wondering why the POS showed up to a Memorial Day event. Doesn’t he usually have Biden do the tedious stuff so he doesn’t miss a tee time? I guess with less than 2 years to go in our sentence with this incompetent low life grifter he feels the need to brag about all his “accomplishments”. Transformation complete.

    The prick had to make his Memorial Day speech political.. He managed to make it about him. He is just such a prick.

    Enough to make me ant to puke. 0vomit is not worthy of being there.

    Afghanistan was what the socialists called “the good war” as Bush had won it before Obama came to power. However, Obama managed either deliberately or through incompetence to lose the won war afterwards.

    He gets away with his failures because we have cowards in republican leadership positions sorry to say. At a time when we need strong leaders in Congress and at President we have the worst of the worst in both.

    Ending it isn’t the same as winning it!

    The lack of “applause” resounds more than all the cute poetry and nasty remarks about President Bush. “Silence” is a vote, in this case – negative. Let’s hear it for the black guy –

    Now, now. The audience didn’t catch that the war is ended in Afghanistan the first time Obama said it. Sooo, he had to repeated it for effect. However, they still didn’t get it. How odd… / sarc

    Obama may not be at war with anyone at the moment, but that doesn’t mean that nobody’s at war with us. I would invite Mr. Obama to leave his Secret Service back at the hotel some time, put on a nice western suit, and take a walk through Ramadi, Benghazi, or Sana’a, or Faluja, or Kandahar, Go shopping for some souvenirs for the kids or something. Go spread some peace.

    He needs photos and audio for his presidential library.

    It must hurt to be as stupid as he is …

    Cops in New York were BOLD (for a moment) when the publicly turned their backs on a traitorous executive.

    Most who oppose Obama the Democrats treachery simply avoid his gatherings.
    I submit its time we attend them when he’s near and simply TURN OUR BACKS on him.

    Consider that his crowds are tiny these days. Consider more in the crowds turning their backs than facing him…. Media wouldn’t know what to do -as the pictures light up the net while they hide what’s happening! Like so many other situations, new media could force old media reportage!

  • Mike in Illinois

    Yup, cuz he doesn’t have much to fill it with prior to being a senator.

    I never dreamed it would get this bad.
    The US president speaks and everybody in the room knows it a lie.
    And they know he knows its a lie.
    And he lies because he believes, if he says it, all will believe him.

    Amen!
