This is so evil ..... and the corrupt media is in lock step, goose step.
I watched that poor piece of theater and I knew it ........ well, at least we know the few in the military who are anti-American.
Obama’s Potemkin Military Reception Flopping Aces (hat
tip Dave)
“Cheered wildly by U.S.
troops,” begins Jennifer Democratic
Operative Loven’s AP report on
Obama’s surprise visit to Iraq on Tuesday.
Quite a contrast to the
silent treatment
Marines gave Obama at his Camp LeJeune speech in late February. Just how
did Obama manage to fix that little problem?
According to a sergeant in Iraq :
We were pre-screened, asked by officials “Who voted for Obama?”, and then those who raised their hands were shuffled to the front of the receiving line. They even handed out digital cameras and asked them to hold them up. [Via Macsmind.
As supporting evidence for the
digital-cameras part of the story, the sergeant (or Mac, can’t tell
which), suggests that the identical cameras can be verified in the
AP
photos. Looks right:
Charles Dharapak/associated press
So will the press cover this evidence of a
staged and unrepresentative show of military affection for our anti-military president? The
reporters were there. Did they actually see the troops being sorted by
whether they voted for Obama, which the sergeant describes as happening on
the spot?
Stephen Hurst’s AP report is up front about Obama’s
fervent desire for a hero’s welcome:
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama went for the defining television shot by capping his first extended foreign tour with a surprise visit to Iraq.He got it – pictures of hundreds of U.S. troops cheering wildly as he told them it was time for the Iraqis to take charge of their own future.
Just no mention of HOW Obama
managed to fake this response: Obama lovers to the front!
FLASHBACK: How the press treated
the merest impression of a staged troop response under
President Bush, even when there was no actual manipulation .
Remember this headline from 2005:
It dominated the headlines and the
television news-analysis for days, and the fabricated scandal was utterly
dishonest.
The so-called “staging”
involved no manipulation whatsoever.
A group of soldiers who were
scheduled for a televised chat with President Bush were “caught on tape”
discussing ahead of time who would answer questions on what
subjects. Who
would be the most versed on the topic that would be televised to the
world.
There was NO
discussion of WHAT should be said.
Read it all and pity the leftopaths - they have no heart, no soul, no might, no honor, nothing of value. Nothing.
