Obama: Piece of Shit

[Kaos]

President Obama is still ours, regardless of how anyone feels about it. I try hard to show respect for the office and for his leadership. It isn't easy for me.

Fuck him.  And the horse he rode in -- and hopefully rides out -- on.

Was this while he was on break of running the Hurricane Machine?

By "war criminal" I meant Lincoln.

That's who I thought you meant. When Jarhead mentioned Bush, I thought I missed the joke.

I mean, who can forget the wahhr of norrthun aggression?

Well just put aside invading a sovereign nation for a moment and concentrate on him suspending habeas corpus for four plus years.

I show respect for the office but the office-holder has earned little respect and as far as his leadership goes I have seen nothing; it's almost a complete dereliction of that sacred duty that was entrusted to him with the one possible exception of the decision that he made to take-down bid Laden.

Dude is right.  Shouldn't call him a piece of shit.  It's offensive to feces.

And in turn, helping get rid of the POS that does not support the soldiers. Therefore actually helping the soldiers. So I do not see your point about "not doing it for the soldiers."

My point was that the article was not released in an attempt to make the President change his practices.  The article was released to change the President.

If this has been going on for three years, and yet it isn't brought to light until now, then soldiers for the past three years have been disrespected by the President, and their families have had to live with that.  Had this been made an issue three years ago, maybe the policy would have changed and many deceased soldiers could have gotten the respect that they deserved.

But by holding onto this card until now, it is clear that no one was overly concerned with the fact that soldiers were disgraced.  Rather, they only wanted to bring this to light once it had an effect on the election.  Maybe getting a new President will indirectly rectify the situation, but it does so at the expense of those soldiers who had to endure the policy for three years.  No one attempted to rectify the situation until it would be a benefit for their political party and a detriment to the opposing political party.  This was made public at this point in time for selfish reasons.

I just want him gone.  Whatever the price.

For the record?  Drunk drivers killed more people last year than if you combine the military deaths from Afghanistan and Iraq with the deaths from the 9-11 attacks. 

So that's your real issue.  Who's sending letters to those people?

So was printing the photos of coffins containing Iraq war dead arriving at Dover Air Force Base in 2004 yet the leftist media (Seattle Times, NPR, etc.) had no issues releasing them for perceived political gain against the Bush administration in an election year.  Sadly, regrettably, and disgustingly it's part of the political game.  I remember being quite indignant about that at the time.

This is what bothers me most.  It has nothing to do with the fact that the right is attacking the left, or that the left is attacking the right.  It has everything to do with the manner in which any politician (and the public) chooses to launch those attacks.

It's nothing new in politics or the media, but it's repugnant nonetheless.
