President Makes Surprise Trip to Iraq -- Refers to Troops in Korea as "Pretty Good Photo Op"


Ok, so we're talking about two different prsident's here. One with class, one not.

from The Washington Post last week:


Obama arrived on the base 3:19 p.m. local time (1 a.m. Eastern Standard Time) and received a rousing welcome from 1,500 troops in camouflage uniforms, many holding cameras or pointing cellphones to snap pictures.

"You guys make a pretty good photo op," the president said.


Meanwhile, as troops in Afghanistan are dying waiting for dithering Uncle Barry to make ANY kind of decision on what to do there, Dear Leader was busy sending a Hajj message (why the hell didn't he just have his grandmother deliver it in person) while tuckering into

Turkey
Honey-Baked Ham
Cornbread Stuffing
Oyster Stuffing
Greens
Macaroni and Cheese
Sweet Potatoes
Mashed Potatoes
Green Bean Casserole

Banana Cream Pie
Pumpkin Pie
Apple Pie
Sweet Potato Pie
Huckleberry Pie
Cherry Pie

How are those MRE Turkey Dinners, guys?

What did you think about President Bush's Thanksgiving visit to Iraq?

I was there when President Bush came to the [Baghdad] airport. The day before, you had to fill out a questionnaire and answer questions, that would determine whether they would allow you in the room with the President.

What was on the questionnaire?

"Do you support the president?"

Really!

Yes.

Members of the military were asked whether they support the president politically?

Yes. And if the answer was not a gung-ho, A-1, 100 percent yes, then you were not allowed into the cafeteria. You were not allowed to eat the Thanksgiving meal that day. You had an MRE.

What's an MRE?

Meals ready to eat. We also call them "meals refused by Ethiopians."

We have been cursed with Barrack Obama because of idolatry and lack of patriotism......not to mention disrespect for our Constitution.

Disgusting, huh?
