I was unimpressed, to say the least. The cadets looked like they were about to fall asleep. I tweeted my thoughts during the speech:
Did I hear him take credit for success in Iraq?
Let me be clear
excuses for dithering
announces exit date
Opposed war in Iraq
unity in tatters, polarized, worst econ crisis since great depression
has he said anything new?
RT @WestWingReport Obama says “I do not make this decision lightly” -cites letters to families of victims, visits to Dover and Walter Reed.
BO says must end this war. Did he say “win this war?”
Open door to Taliban?
Who divided us? He’s talking about divisive partisan politics? Is he freaking serious?
Who attacked our last commander in chief during war time relentlessly?
And he has the nerve to talk about divisive partisan politics?
Thank God that’s over.
Thank God I was in the car, driving home with music on, instead of anywhere near it. I was fairly certain that a withdrawal date would make me livid.
Why even go through this continuing farce? He has no intention of winning a war. So, fine. Bring everybody home. Right now. I am no longer willing to risk a family member for guaranteed failure.
I still cannot fathom how the American people got to the point where they would do this. That this uneducated rookie is actually in charge. The only thing that bucks me up is looking at the veterans of WWII and knowing they were deluged with the same liberal, anti-war, anti-American crap and YET managed to produce great men who did what had to be done. Back when men were men and not UC Berkley graduates.
