1. I stopped at 1:31.

This is imperialist crap.

[bdamomma]

2. I still like him and it is wonderful to hear full sentences.

remember the alternative McCain and Palin. :puke:

[roody]

3. I like him. I don't have time for this bullshit message.

4. To balance this out a little

after 3 negative responses.

You should have listened to the end, it's a message of hope. That we can turn around a nation destroyed by Bush. To encourage soliders who shouldn't be in Iraq in the first place.

Merry Christmas!

5. It's a Christmas message of hope that got lost somehow.

Merry Christmas! :hi:

7. I read the rest. He did not need to preface it with

the military myths.

6. Very nice.

8. OH PLEASE!!

Nice? So we are all supposed to just let the imperialist march of our soldiers be the destiny of this country.

I don't get it. Obama never said this during the campaign his criticism was specific. Bush started wars of opportunity and agression against the peaceful peoples of the Isalmic world.

As you can see I don't fall easily for all that Terrah Terrah Terrah Nonsense and believe me I never agreed to this crap that Bush did to this country after 911.

Its one of my strongest criticisms of the Bush regime.

If Obama does not stop the wars of aggression in Iraq and Afghanistan then he too will reap the same legacy that Bush has today.

Remember your History Nixon campaigned on the promise to end the vietnam war and what did he do... Once that crook took office he got it programmed in his head that he ... oh yes he could be the saviour of the war and do it the right way..

I pray Obama does not make the same mistake.
