Why does Obama keep doing this?

[sirs]

Plane I am polite...but I don't kiss anybody's ass!

I don't fear China....they have numbers...BFD.

China will never be the innovators we are.

I say stop this crap....you friggin wimp!

That probably explains why he couldn't take 2 seconds, out of his prepared speech in AZ to settle a crowd down, that had supposedly come to attend a memorial.  At least, that's what the majority of the defenders of an apolitical event would have us believe.  Perhaps you guys are on to something

 

Can't have it both ways, Bt.  He can't be some passive speaker, where he's not responsible for their actions, then also claim that the audience was apparently perfectly reasonable for a memorial, and didn't need to interject some authority (AS PRESIDENT OF THE U.S).  Hint, most uf us saw and heard it

Leads us to 2 conclusions
1) Political presidential strategy to help jump start the 2012 campaign, cloaked within a memorial
2) Apolitical presidential wimp, incapable of controlling an audience, at a memorial service

I was convinced of 1, but now with yours and others arguements, perhaps 2 is the more viable conclusion

I'm not having it both ways.

My position is he handled himself well at the memorial. It was not a jump start to the 2012 campaign as you so feared, backed by nothing but your heartfelt assertions, nor was it a wimpish effort at crowd control as your fallback position now appears to be.

Sometimes it is what it is. or was what it was.

I guess Obama just got lucky that day. Did he read it (the heartfelt speech) from a teleprompter? Did the teleprompter tell him to shed just a tiny teardrop. I wouldn't know because I can't stomach watching him.

It's just so hard to know when he's acting and when he's just being Barry. Remember all the doctors in the white coats at the White House pretending to be for ObamaCare? That wasn't staged, nope that was heartfelt.

I have no idea if Obama's speech was heartfelt or not.

Of course you are.  You originally were arguing that Obama has no control over the audience, and apparently shouldn't have to.  (The POTUS, unable to control an audience at a memorial.  amazing.)  Then you tact recently with the notion that there was nothing really wrong with the audience in the 1st place

Sorry, can't have it both ways

What would you have him do, have teh secret Service shoot the unruly?

This thread is nothing more than your assertion that Obama launched his 2012 campaign on thebqacks of dead people, and the best you can provide for proof is the audience responded to his speech with applause?

Please.

Find something at least provable to slam the man for.

asked and answered already.  But at least you've conceded that there were "unruly" folks and they they weren't on their better behavior

So many, with this only being the latest

I misread your post

When did i do that?

[sirs]

Every time you reference how Obama has no control over the audience..."what was he supposed to do?", you ask.  Latest now with the Secret Service crack

"As far as Iran goes, I think that is an Israeli problem."

Nuclear proliferation is everyone's problem.

A war with Iran is not the solution.

"As far as Iran goes, I think that is an Israeli problem."

Nuclear proliferation is everyone's problem.

That may be true, but a military solution does not default to the US.
And that seems to be what is being advocated.

The Secret Service remark did not concede an unruly crowd.

Then why make it?  I didn't see a smiley.  It was a serious inquiry as to the notion sirs advocated the use of SS force?     oy      And, so we're also to ignore the plethora of posts that had you repeating a notion of "What was he supposed to do"?
