With Obama, every silver lining is filled with a dark cloud. He had to slip in negatives about America, and a cynic could even find some veiled praise for the shooter disguised as praise for our troops. He failed to acknowledge that it was a terrorist attack, no surprise, but he further blurred the picture by injecting the “crazed killer who snapped” canard. Has the paperwork to award Purple Hearts been initiated yet?

36. There are two problems with that- 1. You can’t sue the Federal Government without its consent, and 2. The occupational hazard doctrine, which states that an employer is immune to lawsuits for injuries or deaths that result from known hazards of a job. That said, these men and women died in the line of duty, and therefore the next of kin is entitled to $100,000 plus cash value on all banked leave, plus hostile fire pay for this month (not entirely sure about the last one, but they ought to get it, because this man should be deemed an enemy) and 90 days free housing or BAH. In addition, widow(er)s are entitled to 55% of the fallen soldiers pension, which vests immediately upon death, until they either die or remarry.

Wounded soldiers are entitled to free medical treatment, and shall be placed on light duty until they recover, at which point it will be determined whether they are fit to resume duty, or shall be discharged for disability. If they are discharged for injuries sustained in the line of duty, they are absolved of all service obligations outstanding, and are therefore able to keep all bonuses advanced to them, as well as cashing out their leave; in addition, discharges for disability cause at least a partial vesting of the soldier’s pension, regardless of years of service. If deemed a hostile fire act, as it should be, the wounded soldiers shall receive hostile fire pay for this month, and will receive hostile fire pay again in December if they are still hospitalized at 0001 on December 1.

38. Everything sounds great except the number of dead (14) and the MIA part. MIA stands for Missing in Action, which these men and women clearly are not. They were wounded in the line of duty, but we know exactly where they are and how they’re doing.

Hey, at least 10 of the 14 wouldn’t have voted for him anyway (assuming the cabal would have figured a way to get the fetus on the Chicago voter roles somehow).

I agree, we need to work on that. After all, the Democrats have been rip-roaringly successful in getting the dead on the Chicago voter rolls somehow. It would be only fair to garner votes from the other end of the life cycle.

Wretchard,

By that speech alone, I would vote for you as POTUS. You are simply head and shoulders above our current incumbent.

buddy larsen

Not unlike Burt Lancaster in “The Swimmer”, I’ve been dropping in on select websites and noticed, well, not to put to fine a point on it, a certain indefinable quality.

Is it just me, or are people right miffed?

“I respectfully resign from the Office of President of the United States based on the facts that I’m completely unqualified to be a leader”.

This is indeed what should have been said, but obama is a worthless amateur and will NEVER be professional enough to say this! He is a rank poseur and has ABSOLUTELY NO business being president. The sooner this fool is out-of-office by any means the better!
