And apparantly he chooses not to salute even a soldier receiving the

Coward In Charge?




it is astounding that you militaristic bigots feel that receiving the
medal, along with a speech honoring his actions is insufficient, and
that
a civilian must give a gratuitous and unnatural hand gesture to appease
YOUR misplaced sense of honor. The good sergeant can speak for himself
if he feels offended. I honor his actions. You are attempting to
impugn
his honor and this country with trivialities. Perhaps you have
forgotten
that at this time we are a country governed by civilians. If you want a
country where salutes are mandatory, there are countries where the
military is in charge - take your idiocy there and begone.

Obama reminds me of Bill Clinton when it comes to military protocol.
And
Bill Clinton reminded me of Rufus T. Firefly. (as portrayed by Groucho
Marx)

I have never ever been in the military, and I would salute the Sergeant
just out of respect for his office and his deeds.

Mr. Obama is woefully lacking in many areas.

IMHO, he didn't salute the hero because he had no idea of the custom.
Shame
on his handlers for not telling him his options. I doubt the Sergeant
cared
either way and probably would have rather been elsewhere.

It's not that Obama is lacking, he has performed a great service to this
country by showing that the reality of the left's ideas just don't work.
Now, let's see if the right will shoot themselves in the foot or do the
people's will.




Did you somehow miss it when the right was last in charge of things? It
was less than two years ago. The right ran things for most of the first
decade of the 21st century. In case you don't know, they just about ruined
us. But you think the same people will do a good job if you give them
another chance? You must have a lot of faith. I think they'll do even
worse. Look at their first move, insist on cutting the taxes for the
richest 2% and at the same time cut off unemployment benefits at Christmas
for people with no money and no jobs. Yeah, that's going to help a lot.

Who creates jobs and why?

One thing is for sure. It's not the richest 2% that the republicans are
fighting like demons to get tax cuts for. They aren't out starting new
businesses and hiring people. They already own all the businesses and
assets so they have no need to take the risk of new start ups. It's a
myth that jobs are created by those who are wealthy. If that were true
then what happened since 2001? There has already been the Bush tax cuts
that mainly benefited the wealthy. Did we get a lot of jobs created
since then? Hell no. Jobs have been in short supply for a decade. So
it's clear that cutting taxes doesn't get anyone to hire people. What
cutting taxes for the rich does is it allows the already rich to spend a
lot more money on personal consumption. The 70 billion a year that the
rich would get to keep if they get to keep the tax cut would be used on
jewelry, furs, cars, and the like, not on hiring people. Just look at
how spending is going this holiday season. The rich are spending at a
record clip but not regular people. They're looking for bargains because
they don't have the money to spend.
