Where is Obama?

[glarius]

This is the time for Obama to go on TV and take credit!
Where is he? He's missing a great moment to get his due!
:shrug:

1. This was a TV thing. Combat ops continue until Aug. 31st.

We do not want a 'banner' moment.

[nmbluesky]

2. He is in Florida

NT

[quinnox]

3. Maybe he is hiding as usual

Maybe he knows the hypocrisy of celebrating a war ending when he has another one on the fire in Afghanistan.

If war is bad, it doesn't make sense to keep another one going full force.

[dionysus]

5. quite bitter, aren't we?

:rofl:

[FLyellowdog]

6. My president doesn't hide. nt

[SargeUNN]

8. something tells me

that you don't know crap about war or military missions so I will just dismiss you as not being informed.

[seabeyond]

19. wow. nt

[Pirate Smile]

4. He just landed back in DC from Florida.

[liberal N proud]

9. Another vacation? At a time like this?

:sarcasm:

[seabeyond]

20. for real? the first year he had 26 day. bush 69. clinton and bush 1 both had more than obama

less than bush two.

this is what you have to give?

[liberal N proud]

22. You must have missed the sarcasm smiley

Vacation is something I value very highly both form myself and others. I get on my people if they are not taking vacations or not using it to get away from work.

[seabeyond]

24. oh... thank you

thank you so much for the clarification. lol.

i was surprised by your post. lol

7. I'm sure he is far from air-craft carrier landing decks.

and signs declaring mission accomplished.

[KaryninMiami]

10. He left here (Miami Beach) about 4 hours ago- I waved as they went by

Attended the event as well- great gathering at the Fontainebleau. I got to take a photo with Congressman Grayson- way cool. Packed crowd-- lots of waiting but worth it. I still love this guy. I'm still happy he's my President. I've been frustrated with him like all of us have, but seeing him there and remembering who he is (and what a damn fucking mess he's been dealing with) and realized he really is doing a good job. All in all. We as a party just SUCK at communications. And most of the damn Democrats currently are a bunch of whimps.

13. Obama is not an actor who declares fame

[glarius]

16. I think it's amazing how he is handling the incredible mess

he inherited. I agree that the Democrats don't seem to have the knack of exploiting anything that they can use to help themselves. I guess that they're just not made up of the same kind of scheming, manipulative types that most of the Republicans appear to be.

[WilliamPitt]

11. Not landing under a "Mission Accomplished" banner.

Refreshing.

[Barack2theFuture]

12. he's outgrown his codpiece

so they cancelled the fly-in

[jillan]

14. Msnbc talking heads are saying that if he made an appearance tonite he would have to speak

about that other war that is not very popular right now.

[glarius]

15. I heard them say that and don't agree with them.

He just has to go on TV for about 5 minutes or so to draw to attention to the public (all of whom are not news geeks like we are) the fact that he has gotten the fighting troops out of Iraq as he promised. He doesn't have to take any questions. Just make his announcement and leave. He deserves credit. He's had the worst mess imaginable to deal with as president and is doing a good job....IMO

[obxhead]

17. Watching Faux 'news' to figure out which statement he needs to

take back next? :hide:

[quinnox]

18. lol

[jonnyblitz]

21. bwahahahahaha!!

:rofl:

[Poboy]

26. that is tragically funny. -nt

[RB TexLa]

23. Letting the moment speak for itself.

I'm trying to say what the moment is saying but there is plenty of time for the President to speak later.

[Steely_Dan]

25. I Completely Agree

He needs to tout these events to his advantage. Very basic politics.

-P
