Obama took two different speeches one about the war, the other about the economy

Obama took two different speeches one about the war, the other about the economy

31st August ’10 speech given by the President felt weird. Besides being flat (as most people already commented on) it seem as if Obama took two different speeches one about the war, the other about the economy. It was also strange that the president made the speech at all. Two weeks ago there was tons of hoopla when the last combat troops left Iraq, this seemed like an anti-Climax

It should have been his most important mission over the past 20 months.

September 1st, 2010 R.V

It should have been his most important mission over the past 20 months.

“Part of that responsibility is making sure that we honor our commitments to those who have served our country with such valor. As long as I am President, we will maintain the finest fighting force that the world has ever known, and do whatever it takes to serve our veterans as well as they have served us. This is a sacred trust. That is why we have already made one of the largest increases in funding for veterans in decades.

I knew that Bush praise seemed a bit hollow, here it comes Obama’s favorite game, Whack-a-Bush

September 1st, 2010 R.V

I knew that Bush praise seemed a bit hollow, here it comes Obama’s favorite game, Whack-a-Bush

“Unfortunately, over the last decade, we have not done what is necessary to shore up the foundation of our own prosperity. We have spent over a trillion dollars at war, often financed by borrowing from overseas. This, in turn, has short-changed investments in our own people, and contributed to record deficits. For too long, we have put off tough decisions on everything from our manufacturing base to our energy policy to education reform.

Does his new push for peace mean that he is going to repeat his gesture of friendship of leaving Bibi Netanyahu in a conference room?

September 1st, 2010 R.V

Does his new push for peace mean that he is going to repeat his gesture of friendship of leaving Bibi Netanyahu in a conference room?

Based on the report that you gave the UN Human Rights Council which spoke about all the horrible human rights violations here in America, we fear that you think the US is one of those dangers that exist around the world.

After 20 months of bashing President Bush, these words seem awful hollow.

September 1st, 2010 R.V

After 20 months of bashing President Bush, these words seem awful hollow.

“The greatness of our democracy is grounded in our ability to move beyond our differences, and to learn from our experience as we confront the many challenges ahead. And no challenge is more essential to our security than our fight against al-Qaida.

UH-OH, you really trust the SCMOTUS with that job? I hope you had him write it down in very big letters.

September 1st, 2010 R.V

UH-OH, you really trust the SCMOTUS with that job? I hope you had him write it down in very big letters.

“This new approach reflects our long-term partnership with Iraq-one based upon mutual interests, and mutual respect. Of course, violence will not end with our combat mission. Extremists will continue to set off bombs, attack Iraqi civilians and try to spark sectarian strife. But ultimately, these terrorists will fail to achieve their goals. Iraqis are a proud people. They have rejected sectarian war, and they have no interest in endless destruction.

Oh I am sorry 16 months, that would make his promised withdrawal date, May 20th, 2010

Oh I am sorry 16 months, that would make his promised withdrawal date, May 20th, 2010

“This completes a transition to Iraqi responsibility for their own security. U.S. troops pulled out of Iraq’s cities last summer, and Iraqi forces have moved into the lead with considerable skill and commitment to their fellow citizens. Even as Iraq continues to suffer terrorist attacks, security incidents have been near the lowest on record since the war began. And Iraqi forces have taken the fight to al-Qaida, removing much of its leadership in Iraqi-led operations.

In fact I seem to remember something about getting all the troops out of Iraq by the end of April 2010.

September 1st, 2010 R.V

In fact I seem to remember something about getting all the troops out of Iraq by the end of April 2010.

Excuse me Mr. President, but YOU LIE. The timetable for withdrawing U.S. troops in Iraq was decided during the Bush administration with the signing of the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) by U.S. and Iraq officials on Nov. 16, 2008. The Iraqi parliament signed SOFA on Nov. 27, 2008.

The brand new combat mission will be when the President invades Arizona because of its immigration law.

September 1st, 2010 R.V

The brand new combat mission will be when the President invades Arizona because of its immigration law.

“This was my pledge to the American people as a candidate for this office. Last February, I announced a plan that would bring our combat brigades out of Iraq, while redoubling our efforts to strengthen Iraq’s Security Forces and support its government and people. That is what we have done. We have removed nearly 100,000 U.S. troops from Iraq. We have closed or transferred hundreds of bases to the Iraqis. And we have moved millions of pieces of equipment out of Iraq.

“And I still refuse to admit that the surge worked..” said Obama

September 1st, 2010 R.V

“And I still refuse to admit that the surge worked..” said Obama

“These are the rough waters encountered during the course of one of America’s longest wars. Yet there has been one constant amidst those shifting tides. At every turn, America’s men and women in uniform have served with courage and resolve. As Commander-in-Chief, I am proud of their service. Like all Americans, I am awed by their sacrifice, and by the sacrifices of their families.
