Friday was graduation day at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis. Their guest speaker was none other that the Commander-in-Chief. Why - with four other academies to choose from, did our ZERO go to Annapolis?
He went to deliver a very real and ugly personal and political message!
You see, among the graduating seniors was John Sidney McCain IV, – son of Senator John S and Cindy McCain of Arizona. John IV was making Navy history - being the fourth generation McCain to graduate. It should have been a McCain day, and a Navy Family day.
But OBummer is too vindictive a narcissist to let such an opportunity for personal payback pass unused. This was his chance to hog the spotlight, to bask on stage, – to upstage four generations of valiant American naval heroes, and make the day all about himself. So as young John IV crossed the stage to receive his diploma, – it was our Narcissist-in-Chief who stepped up to hug the young Ensign. Another photo-op.
Most democrats and socialists, and certainly all of OBummer’s groupies will view that act as a caring President, particularly after his speech promising not to send the grads into Harm’s Way with out proper equipment. [This as he is slashing military budgets.] But the groupies will be thrilled.
But those of us with military backgrounds fully understand what was actually happening. In blunt [albeit crude] language OBummer was stomping on a McCain day, and making the entire McCain family smell his dung.
We should all learn from what the McCains experienced Friday. Watch, soon it will be our turn.

Is it possible to despise Obama more than Kerry? Close race, huh? dp

You know Mike…..I saw the scene in Stars and Stripes. I’m in Iraq, and I could FEEL the smarniness from here! Here’s a question……did Obama hug every single graduate?? Because I cannot remember EVER seeing a Commander in Chief hugging ANY graduate, let alone EVERY single one!!! It apeared to be an unbelievably crass and staged event!
But……and this didn’t amaze me at all…..not much negative response from the media. Can you IMAGINE if say, President Bush had hugged the son or daughter of either Harry Reid or Nancy Peosi?? The media would’ve made him out to be both petty and vindictive! (OK…..the bounds of reality are being stretched here…..neither senators Reid or Pelosi would EVER allow their offspring or themselves to serve in a uniform! I mean, how LOW can one be allowed to go??) We’re in deep trouble America…..this is change we can live wthout!!!!

This was surely a calculated exhibition. It baffles me as to why any of our military academies would invite this vermin of collectivism to speak at ALL, especially at the graduation of these young Americans. I’m guessing it was polite protocol to invite the commander-in-chief as a matter of routine. It’s time to reread C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters, America. We need to recognize Wormwood!

I am from England. When your president was elected there was much speculation over here as to whether he was just a talker. And so now we know. Like our prime ministers Blair and Brown, Obama just talks and pretty spitefully at that like all left wing politicians. They just want power, the power to control not to serve. They are all the same. The consolation is that Obama will only serve one term. It will take our new prime minister Cameron 7 or 8 years to undo the mess created by our left wing Labour party. I hope you guys do better than we did.
