It's actually an E (via old

It's actually an E (via old grading system), but, D will work. It's not an F because it did what he wanted it to ... marginalized the greatness of the USA and Western culture.

The grand obamer needs to

The grand obamer needs to read "The 5000 Year Leap," amongst many other informative things on our nation's founding and why, of all the nations in the world, the United States surpassed all of them in a mere 200 years (even less), not by just a little bit, but by leaps and bounds.  Why?  Simple - the USA was founded on a principle of freedom not ever seen before, and all things the revolve around that freedom.  When the founders went into a convention and didn't let the public in, it was to figure out how to give people more power over their government.  Today, when politicians go into a room, they come out with more restrictions on freedom than when they went in.  Since the beginning of the 1900's, our freedoms have been hugely under seige, and are being lost at an exponential pace when compared to what our system of government was designed to be.  The federal government was never meant to be such a focus of attention and of such power that we've allowed it, as a people, to become over us.  Obama completely misunderstands America's built-in greatness and is looking to undercut it as fast as he can.

Believe it or not I gave

Believe it or not I gave him an A.

As a public speaking performance, it was top notch, as per usual (when the teleprompter is working.)

However, if I was grading him on facts and logic, I would have given him a big fat F.

An A???

I'd rather listen to someone drag their fingernails across a chalkboard than listen to Mr. 'Uhhh..' Please!

All of his speeches use the 'I was for it, before I voted against it' tactic.

I have my own grading system .... I give him a BS-

 I have my own grading system .... I give him a BS-

I am surprised he didnt tell the audience that the Teleprompter was invented by the Muslims in the 7 century

 

_______ Him and the Unicorn he rode in on

Koran.

His hi tech teleprompter has the Koran loaded in the software.  He left out the next verse after his quote.

He could have been more authentic wearing a turban or his fez. 

 

Teleprompters?

Teleprompters?  Those are teleprompters?

I thought they were MIRRORS!! 

Grading

I have to agree with Dr. Krauthammer, D–.

He is obviously a believer in the putrid left-wing's moral equivalence, ie the holocaust is equivalent to the Israeli's treatment of 'palestinians'.

I have to wonder if his atrocious treatment of Israel is simply his way to punt the Iran problem and lay blame for his inaction on Israel. By tying the intractable 'two-state solution' to action on Iran, he has an excuse when Iran goes nuclear. It's another of his typical strawman strategies.

He will do something very similar when it becomes obvious that our economy is still far from recovery; he will blame it on Congress's inaction on his government healthcare plan.

Krauthammer pointing out that the Bamster is apologizing for the USA's history of interfering in the affairs of other countries, while he attempts to interfere with Israel's affairs: Barack Obama's Israeli Settlements Canard: http://www.washingtonpost.com

Typical Hypocracy From The Left

Great observation from Krauthammer.  He told the muslim world that too often the United States dictated policy to other countries and that his administration will not do that.  And then almost a few sentences later he talked about telling Israel to halt all new construction in the piece of Israel he wants to give as his gift to Islam.  Wonder why the sycophantic media didn't report on that?  LOL

Winston Churchill ~ "Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy."

After this speech and the

After this speech and the continued death and destruction by Palestinians of Israelis, I wonder if Jews in America will wake up and start voting Republican.  The Jewish "block" of voting dimocrat, is second only to the African-American "block." 

I guess it will take the destruction of Israel to convince them.  Sending a billion dollars to Hamas by bambi, the first stupid liberal, doesn't seemed to have had any affect whatsoever.  

Meanwhile, Dr. Kruthammer is one of my favorite commentators.  I just wish he would quit WaPo.  By having one of a few token conservatives like Dr. Kruthammer at their paper, they can continue the pretense of a fair and balanced news organization.  

 

Why I gave him an F

See his speech quotes here

"fear" and "mistrust" has led to violent extremism
   No mention, of course, of hatred and the muslim religion. He's implying that America is the cause of the muslim "fear".

He called the war in Iraq a "war of choice"
   Meaning, he went to Cairo to bash the U.S., President Bush, and the 17 UN resolutions against Iraq. An apoloy of the worst sort.

Obama didn't use the word "terrorism," but called for fighting "violent extremism."
   He reserves the use of "terrorism" to describe U.S. military veterans.

After discussing the Sept. 11 attacks, he said, "In some cases, it led us to act contrary to our traditions and our ideals." 
   Telling a foreign audience, of course, that in his opinion, Americans used torture. Even when we didn't.

He said Israelis "must acknowledge that just as Israel's right to exist cannot be denied, neither can Palestine's"
   This "equivalency" suggests that Israel has said "We are going to wipe the Palesine people off the map" -- and he never blasted the Muslim world's hatred of Israel.

He acknowledged that Hamas, which rules in Gaza, has support but said it had "responsibilities"
   He just legitimized Hamas, a terrorist organization, without also stating -- America has declared Hamas a terrorist organization.

This man is not -- I repeat NOT -- my president. He's a damn fool. A dangerous one, at that.

He's an anti-american

He's an anti-american American president. .  He's basically going around reinforcing anti-american sentiment by vouching for it and apologizing for everything america is scapegoated for.  "As the POTUS, I'd like to confirm that we are responsible for 100% of the worlds problems, particularly those of the 3rd World.  I'm sorry we fought back against Al Quaeda after 9-11.  We had it coming.  Al Quaeda and Osama are 100% right about everything they say about America.  We suck.  We are really the great satan."

What the hell is he doing?  He's basically going around saying that everything Osama bin Laden and Al Quaeda bitches about is absolutely true and that he is apologizing for any grief he has caused them.  

And then he goes on to say that a muslim theocracy run by a council of muslim Hitlers has a right to pursue NUKES?  He speaks of Iran as it if were Sweden.

What the hell is Obama smoking?  Which country was he elected to represent?  Whose "interests" is he pursuing?  

Nothing he did in Cairo is in our best interest.  He's corraborating everything every extremist has ever complained about.   He's enabling them.  

 

OBAMA IS INSANE or just extremely freakingly stupidly naive! 

Obama...All things to all people...

Obama is extremely adept at tailoring his "message" to whatever group he is speaking to...He spouts his "big bad America" crap and goes into his "I'm apologizing for the sins of America" drivel every chance he gets when he's overseas...Once home however, he spins his artificial bipartisan "Let's all work together" garbage...

If this weren't bad enough, during the campaign, Obama and his people went out of their way to downplay, if not hide, his family's Muslim ties...Now, during this trip, when he is speaking to an approving and sympathetic Muslim audience, he lays on his familial Muslim relationships nice and thick.

Hey Sky... Have you seen

Hey Sky...

Have you seen the reaction Israel is having from that disgrace of a speech?

...plus did you catch that speech he gave today...Merkel was not happy, whatsoever, and boy did it ever show!

Obama in Real Estate?

Oh yeah.. the now famous 'Obama Huts'.

"I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them."

Hi bt...Yes, I have...

I think he's made it quite clear where his sympathies lie concerning Israel...That meeting that he had with Netanyahu last month did not go well, and now yesterday's speech...This is such a turn around for the Israelis...President Bush was such a staunch supporter of Israel, and now to have to deal with someone like Obama...

Angela Merkel is not a fan of Obama, and hasn't been from the beginning, and his speech today sure didn't help. I think she thinks what many of us do about him...He's a lightweight, empty suit who's in way over his head, and who has no business being president...Ol George W. doesn't seem so bad to the Euro leader crowd now, I'll bet...

I can't wait to hear his speech tomorrow at Normandy...Just the thought of him even being there to speak as the American president, just drives me crazy...It's as bad if not worse as when Clinton would go there to give a speech...Neither one of these idiots really understand or give a damn about the men who fought and died there...It's all photo ops and window dressing to them...Makes me sick. 

"The problem is not that people are taxed too little...the problem is that government spends too much." ~President Ronald Reagan

Sky... You said it

Sky...

You said it all...always their phony photo-ops...and like you say, of course they don't give a rats rear about those who have served in the past...and as far as I am concerned the present as well.

I don't think I can handle tomorrow...at all.

I remember Clinton and his rock trick with the cross as well...these people really think we are all stupid.

Doubling down on stupid is not a particularly good idea. ~Andrew Breitbart

bt...They either think...

we're all stupid, or they have such elephantine egos because of who they are, that they believe they can do or say anything and get away with it...Either way, they both nauseate me no end...

I don't think I can handle tomorrow either...I'll likely watch a rerun of the speech later...I just don't think I can watch it live... 

"The problem is not that people are taxed too little...the problem is that government spends too much." ~President Ronald Reagan

I wonder what the Jews in

I wonder what the Jews in this country think about Duh One now? Especially if they voted for him. I saw his "poll" numbers were down to 34% who love him.

Obama from outter space?

Hussein Obama reminds of that Simpsons episode where Kodos and Krang were running for President.. "Abortions for all!... (crowd: BOOO!).. er.. Abortions for some... tiny American flags for others!".. (crowd: YAYYYY!)

If it was up to me, Obama

If it was up to me, Obama would be an Inmate at Gitmo. The guy should be water boarded till he fesses up what his real plans are. Waiting to see him standing in the Holy place in Israel, commanding the forces of nature and calling down fire from Heaven to engulf those who do not bow. The mark is not a 666, it is BHO.

That may be a little extreme about the mark part.

Save a SeAL, club a liberal!!

the speech...

I can't believe that even 3% voted (so far) that the speech was an "A." On the O'Reilly Factor last night, even liberal activist Marc Lamont Hill gave it a B- !

PhD in Ebonics

That loon gave it a B-? Wow! So, he's in the same camp as Chavez and Castro with Obama being to their right. 

"I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them."
George Mason

I'm serious...(and anybody watch O'Reilly last night?)

SR~

I swear, Hill gave it a B- ... and I had to respect the guy for that because in his mind, I'm know he really, really wanted to say it was an A. To be honest, it rather scared me that he gave it the grade he did! If he (a liberal activist) has problems with it, have mercy!! LOL. A neighbor stopped by right as Hill was explaining why he gave it the grade he did, so I missed that part. If anybody on here heard his explanation as to why, I'd love to hear it...

O'Reilly expressed how surprised he was at Hill's grade. Later, Rove came on and gave the speech a B - for the beginning, a C- for another big chunk of it, and then a D- for another portion. Pretty much, I agreed with all of Rove's points. Anyway, it was pretty darn interesting...

Re Hill

Marc Lamont Hill gave the Bamster a B–; had I not watched it I could have guessed, he thought the Bamster was too conservative, not far-left enough. He thought the Bamster was not pro-'palestinian' enough, and too pro-Israel. Completely predictable.

Slick~

Oh, super. Well, forget my feeling of respect for his grade. *_* Figures!

If it was up to me, Obama

Though no-one but God knows the timing, can THE Antichrist be far behind?

Well. I was hoping it was going to be a little more sneaky than that. But then again, December 21, 2012 does occur in the last year of the false prophet's first term. 

"I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them."

I give it an F

The misogyny that was evident in Obama's Democratic campaign is evident in this speech as well, when he stupidly defends a historical symbol of oppression, the Islamic veil. I guess he missed the videos of women being shot in the head  in an arena, by the Taliban for not adhering to the dress code.
He also revealed he has scant knowledge of the Holocaust. I think he's alienating Israel, and it will create an incident in the Middle East.

I didn't leave the Republican party, they kicked me out.

For a man whose political

For a man whose political campaign was praised for staying on message, he's all over the place, often contradicts other parts of the same speech and worst of all is an embarrassment to the United States.

One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 61% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory (yep...approval for Congress now at 39%...do you believe that!?).

Hear, Hear! Doubling down

Hear, Hear!

Doubling down on stupid is not a particularly good idea. ~Andrew Breitbart

I gave him an F

No courage to stand up to the brutal Muslim exstreamest, he even went as far as to suggest we are the reason for it? He claimed we should not dictate to the Muslims yet he dictated to Isreal. He talked of coming to grips with "our dark past" but never suggested they should come to grips with their dark present.
When we give the Muslims our funds, when we give them our resources, then yea we have every right to do a bit of dictating. If he feel we should'nt dictate, then lets stop trading with oppressive countries, because I was always given the impression we do, in order to have a positive influence. But I guess I am wrong.

But I did give Mark Levin and Wilkow an A for their analysis.

 

My Gov. thinks I am dangerous, so be careful

Don't forget -- Obama gave

Don't forget -- Obama gave $900M of our money to Hamas.

Has Hamas renounced violence? Does Hamas recognize Israel’s right to exist? No to both. Yet, we give aid to Hamas, and demand concessions from Israel. This is completely backwards, yet Obama thinks it's progress. He is truely an idiot.
