Nooooooooooo! This isn't spiking the football. Nor is it a cheap re-election stunt. Nor is it a PHOTO OP!
Debra Burlingame was on Hannity's radio show and she said that Obama was being followed at Ground Zero by a TV camera and a videographer.
I didn't even watch the event. His crass political maneuvers make me feel ill.
What a piece of crap we have for a President, it will be a great pleasure to vote against this POS in 2012, I plan to be first in line at the polls.
This guy is an insult to "empty suits" hanging in closets nationwide. Obama is shamelessly exploiting this achievement by our military to the point of absurdity.
Monday? Ya, ok – cool. Tueday – well – some clarifications, follow up, lose ends. Wednesday…ya.
The fact is that the ECONOMY STILL SUCKS, Obama's "policies" are disasterous and hurting working American men and women and the media infatuation with "The One" THEY'VE been waiting for {well, since Stalin is still dead} is laughable AND he's STILL FAILING in a very SPECTACULAR FASHION. Enough.
I remember that day like it was yesterday…I also remember Obama's dismissive attitude toward the people who lost loved ones on that day…now he thinks that, because UBL was killed on his watch, that HE gets all the credit???? He thinks that a photo op will save his sorry behind??? NOT going to happen!!! We know how he feels about the USA, and guess what..the feeling is mutual!!!
God help the USA! Come on 2012!!!
Obama's action's are beginning to seem like how it would be if – after a NASCAR driver wins the Daytona 500 – a pit crew guy's brother comes out of the stands, shoves aside the driver, and takes the winning car for a few DOZEN "Victory Laps."
lil o shot himself in the foot with that GZ thingy,,, & Debra Burlingame helped him pull the trigger. (uncivil?)
She's a National Hero, IMO.
Happy Trails, All!
Of course he is overplaying his hand. TOTUS ALWAYS overplays his hand.
Why?
It is called BLUFFING. When all you have in your hand is sh!t you must bluff your way to the win.
2012 is shaping up to be the same old Sh!tSandwich as 2008 unless the GOP actually has someone REVOLUTIONARY like LTC West or Sarah Palin step up and inflame the rebellion against socialism and ObaMao.
If we don’t stand up and fight we will be overrun by all those slackers who want their free “Obama Money”. There are too many slacker/suckers who believe they will get their version of ill got gains like Pigford from ObaMao and they will vote to take other people’s money via govt.
America will fall unless we ACT.
Obama enjoying the fruits of rendition, waterboarding and enhanced interrogation. Pathetic hypocrite.
The Fireman is obviously carrying the wreath in the picture, nuff said.
It's quite amusing watching lil o trying so desperately to recapture his mojo, ain't it?;-D
Me, I just can't wait for the return of the fainters… in hindsight I wonder how much they were paid for
that job of acting. Do you reckon they were UNION actors?
Happy Trails, DM!
; )
The way I feel now…. I'd vote for Bugs Bunny against Obama.
.
I still haven't forgotten the low-pass flyover photo-op stunt he pulled early on in his reign.
Execrable. That's this Admin in one word.
.
Bush was wise not to attend.
- Obama used SOTU to disrespect SCOTUS.
- Obama invited Ryan to his budget speech, then demonized him for his bold proposal to actually do something about a catastrophic budget.
- Obama spent the last two years blaming his mistakes on Bush. Although it was Bush that had the iconic moment at WTC, and Bush that put in place anti-terror policies that led to the death of UBL…apparently effective policies which Obama has criticized relentlessly. Despite those glaring facts, Obama would no doubt invite Bush there, give him token credit, then use the somber occasion to thump his own chest about "mission accomplished"…with Bush as his personal guest.
The man is all about crass politics. I suspect he may not have approved the mission without internal pressures, and without a calculation of personal political benefit with 2012 nearing.
How can he take credit for something when nobody in this administration knows how it all happened?
He's a political opportunist
Plus, he is the classic do what I say, not what I do….. football spiking is good as long as he does it.
I stayed away from the TV yesterday.
Spent most of the day outside.
I did not want to see Obama mug for the cameras, and take his victory lap around Ground Zero in his gilded chariot, stopping long enough to spike the football in the end zone and lay a wreath.
Personally, it was insulting, and sacrilegious.
There was no point in my watching this, and drudging up old painful memories, that I have long tried to put to bed. There was no good to come of my watching Obama desecrate everything that America has endured for the past ten years, everything that he is against, just so he could be in front of a camera. Obama used Ground Zero, and those people as tools, as props, for HIS photo Op. George Bush was wise to decline an invitation.
In closing, I have a final thought to add about the ever changing narrative.
Narratives can be changed, and massaged; shaping and creating details to suit the novelists fancy. That works fine in fantasy land. This is real life. Real life and death. There should be no narrative.
All the White House needed to do, was tell the facts, and tell them one time, in a straight forwards, crystalline fashion, instead of the ham handed manner that they have chosen.
yup..
it's ALL about HIM !
I recommend that only Americans be allowed to visit Ground Zero. It's funny to read that half of birthers now believe because I was not a birthed until I saw the obviously manufactured birth certificate. Ozero must go and I am all in to do my part. I do not care who the nominee is or how distasteful I might feel, every where I go I will be starting conversations about the great and wonderful new president and how convinced I am that their direction is the best for America.
Most people aren't stupid, they'll see this for what it is and Obama's numbers will drop again.
Then Chairman O should direct Social Justice Dept. Leader Eric Holder to stop investigating CIA integrators and trying to get charges on them.
THERES A NEW WEBSITE CALLED :
"GutsyCall.com" – and it Redirects to the President's Reelection Campaign Site (spit)
'Politicize' Yeah , I think so …..
In other news , Condi Rice schools Lawrence ( Rosi ) O;donnel …..

It's brilliant !
i didn't watch. did anyone show up besides obama? don't see any photos of the adoring multitudes. the fact that this is his first visit to ground zero says it all. he went on multipe $$$ vacations, played golf, shakes hands with tyrants all before visiting ground zero. then has the nerve to say he will try the terrorists in nyc. not to mention supporting the ground zero mosque. boy is he toying with us. he is so anti american transparent. everyday must be one big joke to him at the cost of his enemies….the american people.
don't worry. i hope that most people will vote for ANYONE OR ANYTHING except obama. i'd vote for a dung beetle over obama. at least it does its part as expected.
that photo makes me feel sick. anyone? seeing him at ground zero makes me as angry as imadinnerjacket thinking he was going to pay a visit.
They were goats dressed up as audience members. Union actors would have been used, but they were asking for too much.
My son said he and his soldiers are disgusted with Obama taking victory laps. They really hate Obama.
He said Obama had no choice, it was either send in the Seals, or do nothing. And he took 16 hours to decide!?
And what sickens my son and the soldiers is that everyone is congratulating Obama on how courageous he was?? Also, my son said, nothing changes, the war goes, just cause they got Bin Laden, really changes nothing. He said Bin Laden has something like 30 sons to continue on.
"he is so anti american transparent."
Well he did say he will be the most "transparent" president. So is bile when you have nothing left to hurl.
yeah, what exactly are they taking credit for? The 40 minute firefight? Oh yeah, that didn't happen.
Was it taking out OBL as he used his wife as a shield as he was firing his AK47 in a a moment of glory? Wait, that didn't happen either.
Ooh. How about OBL body with a bullet hole in his chest and one to his head? Oh wait, they dumped him into the sea so there is no physical proof yet..
This guy is an insult to "empty suits" hanging in closets nationwide. " hahaha! thanks for the chuckle. how true.
i am on the fence…does he do these things on purpose or is he just an idiot? everyday i can go either way with this.
That's what I thought also…overplaying his hand. He's getting to the Lady Gaga area of overexposure.
I can't help but wonder if this is some kind of preemptive strike. Does he know something about him is going to come out soon?
I'm sorry, but I just can't see anything he does as sincere. Yeah, I'm a "hater". I surprises me how much I dislike the man. He's odious.
and when I spoke with him yesterday, he said that the Seals had helmet cams on, with the president watching and they crashed a copter! I said, you've done raids like that? And he said yes, hundreds, but we never crashed a copter.
LOL
Exactly.
thats true, he told us everything he was and was going to do before he was elected. those that voted for him didn't want to hear it.
The fifty families that lost loved ones 9/11 that were selected,……
to meet with Obama were carefully handpicked to guarantee that,……..
there would be no embarrassing incidents.
Unfortunately for him, Obama's handpicking of those,……
who would benefit from his economic policies,…
is not going as well.
loved every minute,..thanks Dawg.
The debate in So Carolina:
Herman Cain won big time and
Ron Paul was,……….
both brilliant and downright foolish.
The guys conceit is off the scale. He announced how many thousand new jobs "we're " going to create, too. (YAWN)..
"We don't need to spike the football" and what does he do…spikes the football.
"I don't want to run the banks" and what does he do…runs the banks.
"I don't want to run the car companies" and what does he do…runs the car companies.
This guy has a bad habit of doing the very thing he says he will not do.
Although we were dully warned by his own lips of what he would do.
Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! who justify the wicked for a bribe and pervert the judgment of the righteous.
And not to mention this new "intel" acquired from OBL's computer…….
Terrorist actions targeting 3 rail systems on the 10th anniversary of 9/11……
Is this live? or is it memorex?
Ten years post 9/11, where are we?
Visa control? Still a mess.
Border security? We still have holes in the borders big enough to drive a truck through.
Cooperation with universities on student visas? "Go to hell. Love, Your Local U Prez."
DLs for illegal aliens? Go to Utah, New Mexico or Washington.
Need a breeder document? Get a Matricula Consular card from the Mexican embassy. Or wait for them to come to you with their Consular Movil program.
Running the prints of the foreign-born? Forget it. Illinois just told ICE that they are pulling out of the Secure Communities program.
"We shall never forget" sure rings hollow to me these days.
Hey, look! It's Captain Obviously Campaigning!
Let me guess–brilliant on fiscal policy, foolish on foreign policy. Sounds about right for Paul.
Excellent observation. The verse is the icing on the cake–no, more like a disaster alarm.
Yes, filming his campaign ads. Geez.
She was awesome in her interview. No wonder so many are calling for her to run for office.
As it should be. He's the one who is sincere about the tribute.
Obama's spike the football tour. Next he is going to meet with the Seals, I'm sure they will be thrilled.
Actually I'm sure none of the Seals would show-up unless they were under strict orders.
and his SILLY and IMMATURE libertarian stands (i.e., legalize drugs).
HEY!
LOOK SHARP! FOX, ABC, CBS, NBC, AP, REUTERS AND NOT DOUBT OTHERS HAVE ALL SWITCHED THE SPELLING OF THE NUMBER ONE TERRORIST ON THE PLANET.
TODAY HE'S "Usama" NOT Osama. (Hey we can't have reporters getting dear leader confused with someone who hates the US, right?)
YO MEDIA, COULD YA BE A LITTLE MORE OBVIOUS. A RACCOON IN S DAKOTA MAY HAVE MISSED YOUR HOMMAGE TO DHIMMITUDE .
I hear ya. Like we really need over-the-counter cocaine and ecstasy.
She's fearless, as clearly demonstrated, and having her input is invaluable to the RIGHT…
I hope she will consider running, she would be a great asset to us who can see the BS, and
hope to affect change to promote our representative republican gvt, which seems to have been
terribly wounded in the last 100 years.

America………are you tired of watching this President wrap himself in and around the American flag to boost his ratings for election time while on the other hand he apologizes and defames America and its people to the world. The only President who comes close to this type of creepiness was Jimmy Carter and he ended up only serving one term. Lets hope this present one gets the same results! It is time we woke up because while we are "sleeping", writing our words of "wisdom" to each other, this President is plotting the demise of our great country and ushering in socialism/communism while telling us how great America and its people are! Wise up!

Me too…and we should make sure we all enlist others in the "Boot Obama" campaign so we ensure that it happens!
As soon as the new President is sworn in come January 2013, the helicopter should take Obamao straight to Gitmo for some enhanced interrogation of his own!
Lets not forget that after we sing : 'the witch is dead" for the last time that Rep Issa is investigating the DOJ coverup of the ATF gun sales to the Mexican Drug Cartels. Issa held a hearings earlier this week that got little coverage due to coverage of Osamas death. Read about it here: http://issa.house.gov/index.php?option=com_conten... http://bigpeace.com/bbarrack/2011/05/05/gunwalker...
"He is probably just getting started overplaying his hand."
All the way to a taxpayer funded (well worth the expense) flight back to Chicago, Hawaii, or wherever the hell he thinks he's from on January 20, 2013.

"Because the Only Good Progressive is a Failed Progressive"
Same as it's been for the last 2 years. Anything bad in America is Bush's fault. And anything good is because of the magical powers of Obama.
I simply cannot respect him as commander-in-chief since I heard him say that the war in Iraq is "winding down." I feel sorry for our dedicated service men who have to serve under this guy who knows nothing about running a military.
I find Obama disgusting and sacrilegious. But I also find his followers to be totally creepy. They are only "patriotic" when their guy is in office about the things THEIR guy is doing. Then it's patriotic. It's patriotic to want universal health care, to tax the rich, demonize businesses, and to otherwise pi$$ on the Constitution while pretending to be following it.
I promised myself when Obama got elected that I was never going to suffer from ODS. Fact is, I don't have to really suffer from it. Everything he does is either scary or a joke so there is no "derangement" just righteous anger.
