Obama needed a little help from the troops in Afghanistan on Friday as he thanked the military branches for their work but forgot to mention the Coast Guard.
“I think we’ve got every service here tonight,” Obama said at Bagram Air Base. He then called on the branches as their members cheered: “We’ve got Army. We’ve got Navy. We’ve got Air Force. I think we may have a few Marines around, too.”
Obama continued, “And a whole lot of folks from the 101st Airborne Division, the Screaming Eagles.”
Moving to his remarks, Obama said, “Now, here in Afghanistan …” Then, someone in the crowd shouted out, “Coast Guard!”
“Coast Guard?” Obama repeated. “Is that what I heard?”
Wild Thing’s comment……..
He forgets about the Coast Guard and then also says this…………..
“I think we may have a few Marines around, too.”
What a flippant arrogant, asshole. If he weren’t surround by men in black, he wouldn’t last 30 seconds.
I wish he would forget to fly back to America.
Is the Coast Guard in Afghanistan? If so, I didn’t know that.
F***ing pogue.
This trip was not because obama loves the troops. It was purely political to counter the charges that he disdains the military.
Right on. I also mentioned at my blog that this trip was purely political theater ahead of the speech on Afghan war strategy he is giving in a little over a week.
Damn!! I just love it when he exposes his arrogant ignorance on the world stage.
This Osshole doesn’t know his Oss from a hole in the ground.
The troops got to be thinking, ‘when’s the real president coming to visit’.
Thanks everyone!!!!
Bob, I am not positive, but I do know they have been in Iraq.
