    Any chance he dons a flight suit and has a big "mission accomplished" banner in the background?

    Sure, the unemployment number is down. It was at, what, 21% for a while for I/A vets. Doesn't mean their domestic jobs are good ones.

    He would be wise to keep them overseas for six more months. Doesn't need those numbers reversing course.

    Actually, I wouldn't be shocked if he orders the immediate return of troops from, oh, Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Iowa and Colorado. :). And orders infrastructure, shovel ready jobs in said states.

    Adding a smiley doesn't mean you come off as any less of a total ******* ********.

    Since I can't call you what I really think of you, I'll simply say you are a disgusting person and you have no shame.

    So I guess we're back to not being allowed to even consider the possibility that the president will act in his own best political interest? Because he sure as shit doesn't need thousands of troops coming home to no jobs in the months before the election.

    Only a fool would think he and his handlers wouldn't take that into consideration.

    This may come as a shock to the folks who voted for him but Barack Obama is no different than any other politician in Washington. All he cares about is what keeps him in office.

    You've made your position clear with your "whoring for votes" comment. You should stick with bitching about the Cubs. At least you're tolerable when you do that.

    I wish all the horrible people I'm surrounded by would be as tolerant as me.

    Ah, the party of tolerance strikes again. Thanks for losing your cool as that means I may actually have a valid point.

    The reason I mention this is that I've worked on quite a few stories of army veterans who were in charge of dozens of troops, dodging rebels and IEDs. Now they're struggling to get work at $15/hour as security guards.

    I'm just looking at the political objectives of a trip like this. He's been campaigning for his second term since January 20, 2009.

    I was unaware that military personnel were fired as soon as the wheels come down on home soil.

    And the RWSM has been working to eliminate him since Nov. 4, 2008 (actually a couple months before then, when it became apparent he was going to win).

    So it's just fine for the oligarchist corporate conspiracy to try to get rid of Obama, but it's not OK for him to try to get reelected.

    That's the problem with you and your party. You're convinced if you piss people off it secretly means you're right. No, it means you're a ********. Congratulations on successfully being enough of a ******** to piss people off. I'm sure it will look good on your resume.

    Looks like Coked-Up Brick Tambland has a running mate on this thread.

    Tamland. T-A-M-L-A-N-D. If you're going to make up a trolling insult and stalk a guy with it, at least get the fucking name right.
