Update: Via Twitter - Fox Reports GWB and Laura spent a few hours at Fort Hood, no photo ops. Now that's a CIC.
Are you kidding me? Camp frickin' David? What, does he have a tee time close by? For heaven's sakes, he's the CIC. And he's taking the weekend off? This guy simply doesn't care. Unbelievable via Fox.
11:25AM THE PRESIDENT addresses the House Democratic Caucus - Cannon House Office Building
2:30PM THE PRESIDENT makes a statement to the press on Health Care - Rose Garden
2:45PM THE PRESIDENT and THE FIRST LADY depart The White House en route Camp David - South Lawn


"My sincere hope is that one of these jihadist bastards kills you or yours. You wouldn't even wake up then, but would go suck his ass some more, trying to figure out what could cause such a thing. You liberals make me want to vomit."
How could I have missed your classy comment, templar knight? You damn YOURSELF with such statements. And do you think I even care? Do you think it bothers me even a little? Dog poop on my shoe would bother me. Some idiotic statement like this from you, not so much.

Now here's just a thought; ARMY and FBI are likely still snooping and pooping to find the bottom of this whole attack situation. Could people be being too hard on Obie about not going to Texas? Have we considered the possiblity that Secret Service have simply, quietly quashed what would be a very good political move? Now it's fun to mimic leftists... a blast really. But remember how upset they were when GW wasn't on the WH roof w/ a brace of Colt's Patent Revolvers by noon on 9/11? Like I said, it's a blast throwing lefty "feelings" back in their hollow cheeked faces but I'd feel slightly dooficious if I meant most of it.

listing starboard....
"NOt only that he is totally dissing the ceremony for the USSNew York...."
Not to mention choosing not to attend the ceremonies for the 20th anniversary of the Berlin Wall coming down.
Not to mention, after notifying them with a phone call placed "well past midnight", announcing to the world that we would be pulling out of our missile defense agreement with Poland on the 70th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Poland.
No, I think there is a clear case to be made that Obama does not appreciate the military or what it does for our country. This is not just about Ft. Hood or the USS New York: he has shown this repeatedly through acts of omission and commission.

Gee, Bob. I thank you for attacking my grammar instead of adressing the point of my post. It says more about your mental capabilty than my mastery of the English language.

You know who you raving wingnuts remind me of? Jihadis. Your hatred for Obama and all things liberal is implacable, even to the point where one of you (templar knight) said to me that he hopes a jihadi "kills you or yours." Yes, apparently, merely pointing out that wingnuts would criticize Obama REGARDLESS of what he did is now a capital offense. Your hatred goes WAAYYYY too far. You guys wallow in hatred. You have no ideas to do anything positive, you have no principles (because everything you complain about now you praised when Bush was president) and you apparently don't even have any decency. Well grow up, whiners. Get a grip. Stop making asses of yourselves with your constant bitching and complaining. Try doing something positive for a change and maybe people would start respecting you.

Okay "auntie" which injured soldier is your niece?
Uh huh.....waiting, waiting....tic toc "auntie".....oh, puleeze, so your niece was injured in the shootings and you are here on this blog to take US to task? Really? Aren't there better things you could be doing?
Like ,oh I don't know.....being screaming mad about Muslim terrorists being pandered to in our military?
But then, you would actually have to have a niece that was injured first right? Maybe you need to open a window in the mosque...you don't seem to be getting enough oxygen right now.....
And Bob....it's a well known fact that Soros pays idiots like you to post on conservative blogs. In your case I would say he's definitely not getting his money's worth.

"My neice is one of the injured at Fort Hood..."
so what kind of royalites you gonna get from 'your' story?
if you fill out a form with the nyt, maureen dowd will provide you "absolute moral authority". I think you get a free vegan diet with that.

"You know who you raving wingnuts remind me of? Jihadis."
quite a stretch there, bob.
still pelosi thinks that protestors are nazis, unless they are protesting FOR her beliefs.
jihadis?
so be it.

As opposed to Roberta, who does nothing but bitch & complain.

Hey Bob...which of your fingers was "auntie" anyway?
Posted by: christmasghost | Saturday, November 07, 2009 at 09:30 PM
Bob, thank you for that additional helping of Journolist/Axelturf talking point spam.
2010.

I do so love manipulating the ignorant and foolish child Bob.
Remember how I said the next thing Bob would do is scream that anyone who criticizes Obama in any way was a "racist"?
On command:
"Maybe it's time for you to don a little verbal black face and mock that arrogant SOB real good. Come on, let it rip. We know you want to and you're just INCHES away."
It's almost too easy. LOL.

Give Bob props fer tryin (though one does have to wonder how long the horse can stare at undrunk water).
I don't much celebrate anything television (though gotts to say Thank You Zenyatta!). But if I happen to be planted in front of the flat panel (like yesterdee just before post time). When Dub voybally slaps Billy (Bob) Clinton back to the last millenium, I'll play along and watch :-)

At 17:55 Bob says "I'm just here for a discussion and a little give-and-take." yet his idea of "discussion" is to begin every post with "You know who you raving wingnuts remind me of?" His discourse would take up much less of Dan's bandwith if he simply posted "skawk". Give him a cracker and cover his cage someone, he contributes NOTHING. Yes, I realize that is the short definition of a libtard.

For 7 years, Georgie managed to never see a dead body that he helped create. Now, he finally has a "Come to Jesus" and discovers that his policies have driven men crazy. It's the Republicans playing politics as usual. Georgie isn't fooling anyone except those in the ever dwindling GOP base.

"For 7 years, Georgie managed to never see a dead body that he helped create."
Wrong again, as usual, however you want to phrase it. Another stupid lie at any rate. GW visited with many of the families of soldiers who died in his misadventure to the sand box....still does. Difference being that he did not drag the press around to inflict themselves on some poor family's grief. I've been very much against Iraq from the beginning and A'stan for a while now. My reasons are several and have nothing to do with parrots and idiots from the left. However, I wont let you fools by with lying when I know better.

I doubt there's anything Obama could do that would satisfy the ODS sufferers on this board. He'd always be doing too little, be too late, using it for political purposes, etc. etc. etc.
I agree with Wahoo on our two wars. I used to be for Afghanistan. No more.

@WPE Obie has done two good things that I wish had been done before I retired. He is killing Rumsfeld's stupid a$$ NSPS pay system for federal employees and he has signed off on allowing FERS retirees to get credit for unused sick leave like CSRS employees do. Traditionally, Fed employees were encouraged to abuse sick leave rather than losing it. I knew guys with enough sick time to take off their final six months.

God I love to read the comments of ignorant racist;you make that CIC in the White House look better and better everyday. Keep up the hate; You see, Bob and the rest of you,most Americans do not want to go back down that hate-road again; and people like Bob and the other right wing-nuts,
or should I just say "white supremacist" are going to help put this CIC right back in the White House. Ignorance is a bliss, and the perosn who will benefit in the end is OBAMA!! You haters haven't learned a damn thing. You want to fight the man; try being smart instead of looking like ignorant "white trash"

Absolutely correct Suzie Q....being ignorant is probably why you think Bob is a right winger.....

The folks at Ft. Hood have much more important things to do than wait on the President, which is what they'd have to do if he came there. Let them get on to important work.
Nothing pissed me off more when I was in uniform than to have to play protocol instead of mission for someone coming for the dog-and-pony show.
Posted by: tess | Sunday, November 08, 2009 at 01:33 PM
GW and Laura have nothing else to do! And just because Obama went to Camp David doesn't mean he isn't working. I would imagine he never stops! I also would expect that you will see him at Fort Hood for a memorial, but I suppose it's easier to find fault. If he HAD shown up immediately right-wingers would have been saying that he was neglecting his other duties. I live in Killeen and I think the President is doing an OUTSTANDING job.
