Caught on Tape: Obama Lulls Cadet to Sleep

NBC Chicago: It seems some West Point Cadets weren't at attention during the Commander in Chief's address on the Afghanistan surge.

Poor kid, you know his ass is in a sling as soon as this circulates (if not already). He’s smart one though…he saw right through O’s lip service and used his time well (had it not been for the cameras).

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   December 1st, 2009 - 11:01 pm

That was totally unfair to these young men/women. First of all they get up early in the morning and work all day at their schooling and/or other activities.

To ask them to sit and listen to a guy read off a teleprompter is totally unfair and so were the cameras panning them!

This guy is constantly trying to drum up sympathy for his Islamic brothers…it is not working!

Here is something someone sent to me that I think needs to be said:
—————————–

Something to ponder…Can a Muslim be a real American?

In light of the murders at Ft. Hood by a Muslim Officer (who had sworn to defend the people, our Constitution and the United States ) this article becomes more timely and real than ever;

Can a good Muslim be a good American?

I sent that question to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years. The following is his reply:

Theologically – no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon god of Arabia

Religiously – no. Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam.

Scripturally – no. Because his allegiance is to the five pillars of Islam and the Quran (Koran).

Geographically – no. Because his allegiance is to Mecca , to which he turns in prayer five times a day.

Socially – no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.

Politically – no. Because he must submit to the mullah (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and Destruction of America, the great Satan.

Domestically – no. Because he is instructed to marry four women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him.

Intellectually – no. Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.

Philosophically – no. Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.

Spiritually – no. Because when we declare “one nation under God,” the Christian’s God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in The Quran’s 99 excellent names.

Therefore after much study and deliberation….perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. They obviously cannot be both “good” Muslims and good Americans.

—————————–

So the first Kenyan/Muslim needs to quit defending his Islamic brothers and start defending America and Americans! So far he defends the Muslims first…and disses everything America!

And you wonder why these young men/women fall asleep on his lies!

Obama seems so out of touch, like he is not really part of America, but was hired to control this country by are enemies.

Leave the kid alone, he is former enlisted, he has earned two rows of ribbons already… Want to beat up someone Bill Clinton sleeping at Reagan’s funeral, he was in the FRONT row.. LOL

Descendant of Army Cadet & Major   December 1st, 2009 - 11:41 pm

Eileen, I like your post. I totally agree. Islam is not a religion, it is a “Political Ideology”, nothing more, nothing less. It’s first choice is violence when spreading it’s false religion. My ancestral relative was the first American Indian to graduate from West Point. His name was Major David Moniac, U.S. Army. Buried at Bushnell National Cemetery, Bushnell, FL & died in battle during the Seminole Wars. All I will say is “how dare this fraud put our Cadets through this sham”. 3 months of Jimmy Cartering around, only to deliver a message he cannot uphold and does not believe in. God Bless our CADETS!!! The sooner this fraud is out of the White House, the better. Along with his entire corrupt Administration.

USNA Midshipman   December 1st, 2009 - 11:43 pm

Hahaha!! This has nothing to do with being bored… It has to do with having a hectic schedule and then being forced to be political puppets when we would rather sleep or get our homework done before 1am….. Also, watch Navy slaughter army in the Army/Navy Game this December. GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY!

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   December 2nd, 2009 - 12:19 am

Dear Descendant of Army Cadet & Major at 11:41 pm…Thank you for your comments.

How wonderful that you are not only a “real” American, but a descendant of a patriot of old who fought, and died on the battlefield, for our great Republic!

You must be very proud of your family member, Major David Moniac. He was not my family, but I feel pride knowing that you are continuing on in the patriotic path that he started for your family so many years ago!

I can only imagine how great it would be to even know of the history of my ancestry. I, myself, am only a second generation American…but had uncles who fought in WWII that I am proud of.

This is why I fight so hard to restore our government back to the people, because of people like your family that gave their lives defending her throughout the last 233 years!

Thank you for posting…keep speaking up and speaking out!

We will win this war one battle at a time…as we unite together to continue the great heritage of past patriots!

This post was mentioned on Twitter by WarrenSearle: This Cadet looks alot like most of US when Obama gives a speech http://bit.ly/4OCgJF (Via @sarahbellumd)…

MagicMan   December 2nd, 2009 - 12:32 am

I guess it doesn’t matter these kids get up at the a$$-crack of dawn and put in a full day = to most people’s week by 8pm. Not to mention he probably went back to his room and did a few hours of studying and homework after this. No time for golf.

A Midshipman '11   December 2nd, 2009 - 12:33 am

As a midshipman, I can tell you that they were not sleeping because of being bored. The Academies have a hectic schedule, and then we are forced to go to speeches when we should be doing homework or catching up on sleep. A few years ago President Bush came here to the Naval Academy and gave a speech. I wasn’t here then, but my firsties were. The media showed a bunch of mids sleeping during the speech and claimed that we were “bored”; however, they forgot to mention that the mids had to be up at 4 in the morning. We are here to fight for our country, not pander to some political ideology. People need to stop politicizing the innocent actions of mids and cadets. Our main goal is to get through these 4 years at the Service Academies, and strive to become the kind of officers that our people deserve. Our tiredness is a sign of a biological phenomenon commonly refered to as “notgettingenoughsleep-itis”, and not a sign that we hate our President.

frankly   December 2nd, 2009 - 12:40 am

Leno’s Obama joke comes to mind…

THE most often heard phrase during Obama’s speeches is “let me be clear” and the least often heard phrase is “let me be specific”.

CPO(Ret) Howell   December 2nd, 2009 - 1:03 am

The video didn’t run, but from what others have said I agree. Lay off the young cadet! On the other hand even though he was required to attend the speech does not mean he was actually required to listen. So, if he was able to get some much needed rest then it was time well spent. I just wish the rest of us could wake up from this national nightmare we are being forced to sleepwalk through!!!!!!!! Wake up America and THINK next time before voting! By the way, the reason Obama doesn’t seem to be able ti identify with Americans is because he ISN’T one!

FastFacts   December 2nd, 2009 - 1:11 am

I agree that it was weak. There was a lack of that pizazz that we were always told he had. I don’t see it. When he doesn’t have a teleprompter, he is quite a bore. Did anyone see it. On http://www.americanparchment.com they had a clip of another teleprompter committing suicide during Obama’s speech. It was quite funny.

Early Cuyler   December 2nd, 2009 - 1:21 am

This dude is probably in a world of $hit right now. Funny though. I too almost fell asleep while watching it, so I don’t blame him.

muggins   December 2nd, 2009 - 1:38 am

The way Obama’s head bounces from side to side as he switches from one teleprompter to another is just like a hypnotist’s watch. Hard to stay awake when the bobbing head is accompanied with blah blah blah blah blah.

Sunnyr   December 2nd, 2009 - 2:23 am

You didn’t miss a thing, Kid! Have a nice nap! I will pray for all you brave soldiers.

These West Point Cadets live in a regimen that is so highly structured and chock full of non-stop activity that whenever an opportunity arises to catch a quick nap their bodies simply take over and they nap. Given that they are obligated to attend functions whether they like it or not, I can understand this Cadet’s somnolence especially given who he was ordered to listen to.
Obuffoona the teleprompter reader is as inspiring as listening to the imbeciles on “the view”…..or listening to a speech given in an unknown language. One’s skill to seem interested is truly tested.
Everyone at West Point knew that this was a sham photo-op in a vain attempt to garner credibility with the public. I just hope this kid doesn’t catch too much hell for nodding off.

Checkers   December 2nd, 2009 - 7:50 am

It wasn’t about a sedative speech last night. It was about a political decision that risks lives of an increased number of solders and that was intentially designed to get the maximum number of votes for the incumbants in 2010 and 2012.

It was presented in such a way as to minimize association of the Afghan was with the current administration and to imply that mishandling of the effort by the previous administration is the reason this administration is dealing with the issue.

Its’ wording was designed to show an in-charge thoughtful and strong Commander-in-Chief. (ie. “I decided..”, I considered..”, I dismissed the option…”, “I I I I…” Like a college professor community organizer really knows what he is doing when it comes to a civil war being fought on the other side of the globe – yeah, right!

Its’ rationale was lame and unconvincing IMHO. Never mentioned “WINNING”. Never convinced me that goals will be accomplished by the arbitrary date set for troop withdraws starting.

WHO DOES THIS JERK THINK HE IS KIDDING!

The West Point Photo Op is diversion to the Death of Global Fisting. Pathetic european socialists and our own surrendaCrat carpetbaggers taking advantage of our ignorant black population and investing trillions and trillions of our profits in them to create a Maoist Usurpation of our country. They have succeeded in establishing a 24/7 campaign to destroy America. Acorn, SEIU and the rest of the leeching traitors. You all will look good at your new Chicago Prison. Thatz where democrats are going after 2 years on the Beaches of Gitmo…sign me up for waterboarding Pelosi, Reid, YoMammie and his Maoist ButtMunchers…and it’s apparent the blacks in America need to wake up and join FREEDOM. Frack the Black Tigre unconstitutional Army…Frack the Chimp in Chief…frack al qaeda Democrats like Dean, Reid, Murtha, Pelosi and the rest…

Watch out cadet! The left has a long history of trying to destroy Americans who make their president look bad.

Not to worry, Cadet, he has the same effect on most of the country.

cluelessinky   December 2nd, 2009 - 8:11 am

I was in the service 40 years ago and was proud to defend my country, even though Viet Nam proved to be a lie. Now if asked ( or ordered ) to serve I’d refuse. I will not support a president who obviously hates this country, nor will I defend a congress that is thoroughly corrupt.

hcallaway   December 2nd, 2009 - 8:11 am

Let me give a shout out to that young man. Obama’s heart was not in sync with the speech he was trying to deliver. Do you really think that he has not been asked for more troops prior to him making his decision?

Actually, at least on the CNN feed, this happened to three different cadets. The first 15 minutes I paid attention to the speech, then my wife and I, after seeing the first man shown above, started paying more attention to the crowd. On two more occassions, CNN showed cadets nodding off – the last one was a close up of a woman that resulted in a quick cut-away back to the president.

Yeah, thats it! As to the speech??? Vague and uninspiring.

HOO AHHH!

elizabethrc   December 2nd, 2009 - 8:17 am

I was interested to see the lackluster reactions of the cadet audience last night. The applause, with a few, very few exceptions, was decidedly halfhearted. I’ve never seen such an obviously unconvinced, possibly bored audience.
I’m sure this was totally lost on Obama but I hope it wasn’t lost on his followers. Probably was, though, because if they couldn’t see him for what he isn’t, how could they?

marcusdc   December 2nd, 2009 - 8:20 am

The President has to do what he’s told, and therefore he spews out the usual meaningless prole-feed, which is the same hollow deception the people get from almost anything official or powerful that speaks at them. Since it is all based on total selfishness and nothing more than a cover for selfish plans, it is of no interest to anyone, not even the youngest cadet.

UncleRemus   December 2nd, 2009 - 8:21 am

Zoomie09   December 2nd, 2009 - 8:22 am

Take this video down. It is degrading to all the cadets. I was a cadet for four years, and fell asleep in many a briefing. It’s not like these guys got any comp time for having to go listen to the speech in addition to getting there an hour early for security and “courtesies,” and you can bet most of them got up at 0600 to go to mandatory breakfast, do a parade or drill in between classes in the morning and afternoon, a hard workout in the early evening, dinner and THEN hitting this brief. Yeah, you should take this down…this makes all cadets look bad because you’re not providing context. And now, this guy is going to get his butt ripped apart.

President Obama should have been detained at Westpoint. He has no business setting foot on such sacred ground. Obama had nothing but contempt for everybody in that hall.

surfinSoldier   December 2nd, 2009 - 8:27 am

As a cadet at West Point, everyone here is embarrassed by these retards who cant keep their eyes open for a mere 30 minutes. Granted we all had to march down there at 4:30 to sit down and get situated, they still had 3.5 hours to sleep on their own. more than enough time to catch up on their sleep. As for the situation in Afghanistan, its a necessary evil. If we go, we risk losing more soldiers and falling deeper into this depression thing that we have, if we don’t go, we risk the rise of terrorism again. Take it or leave it

Kathy   December 2nd, 2009 - 8:28 am

Knowing how much Obama loves to hear himself pontificating, the cadets should have all taken a nice nap before the speech.

Naked Patriot   December 2nd, 2009 - 8:28 am

I am pissed I had to sit through his diarrhea of the mouth for 50 mins. and missed Charlie Brown Christmas on ABC!! This cadet is doing what thousands at home were doing….yawning, snoring and farting to this long teleprompter speech.

Joe   December 2nd, 2009 - 8:30 am

These kids have more important things to do than be a captive audience. My daughter received a congressional appointment to a federal military academy and these kids only get 3 maybe 4 hours of sleep a night the first 2-3 years. I to would fall asleep to.

WeMadeAmistake   December 2nd, 2009 - 8:30 am

General Petraus secretly knows this 18 month stratedgy of the narcissist man-boy in the White House is sure folly. You cannot operate and have a positive outcome with an enemy in a country like Afghanistan and tell them you re withdrawing in eighteen months! The Taliban are laughing and thanking Allah for us electing a Kenyan narcissist man-boy to the White House. He is their gift! The Taliban and al Queda know Obama made this decision based upon ploitics of appeassement of the left so that he gets their votes before the 2012 election. He can also say that he made the decision to increase troop levels to appease the moderates. Instead of a leader, we have a political panderer dithering who lacks any modicum of leadership. He must be made a one term president. We have to bring an end to an incompetant administration or this country will cease to be.

Dragonjohn   December 2nd, 2009 - 8:33 am

Cadets are up at 5:00 am, were required to show up for Obama’s speech at 04:00 pm. The speech at 08:00pm!!! So the cadets were sitting in their seats for 4 hours waiting for ObamA to start talking. The average day for a cadet is from 05:00am to 10:30pm(no choices their day is full). Obama is full of it!

dude   December 2nd, 2009 - 8:33 am

Uhh, you all should know, Barry chose to make this speech where he did because he could guarantee himself that no one would be shouting out “YOU LIE” or boooing etc. He used these cadets as pawns! Pathetic Loser.

TheFedupcitizen   December 2nd, 2009 - 8:33 am

It’s funny the white soldier falling asleep is the one in this video. I watched the speech last night, and there were plenty of soldiers falling asleep, white, black, and hipanic. My only question for the president concerning his speech is..how in one breath do you say, we have debated the reasons for going into Iraq enough, I am not going to rehash that. Then in the next sentence, badmouth the previous administration for going into Iraq, following it up with telling the soldiers what a success story Iraq is.

These guys aren’t being trained to “end wars and prevent conflict”. They’re warriors not police officers. This is what happens when voters elect an idiot. He has NO CLUE what the the military is, or how to use it. Then you have Chris Matthews calling West Point an enemy camp. What a bunch of fools!

I hope that cadet enjoyed his nap. I’m sure he earned it with all the hard work he puts in every day, just to be at West Point. Obama never would have made it because it would have cut into his dope smoking & cocaine habit, not to mention his socialist indoctrination.

Obama makes me physically ill.

Nodding off while “Nero fiddled” was complimentary to this boorish, non-committed, non-supportive community organizer. Obama is not and never will be a commander of chief, this would require timely and decisive action skills. This wanna-be “CIC” make Carter’s wisdom seem plausible.

AbuBakerSmith   December 2nd, 2009 - 8:37 am

Obama will send his a$$ to the Russian Front. Not that I care, all those worthless slobs are already getting far more pay and benefits than any active Duty enlisted man who will actually sight down a barrel at their enemy will ever see. In fact they’re being trained to look down on and disrespect the Enlisted Service Members expect to be rewarded with medals for the work of others they have absolutely nothing to do with. I say send all of them to the front, put a rifle in their hands and drop them off while some sgt’s set back in the rear and drink coffee and get medals while these scum bags risk their own lives.

walter sobchak   December 2nd, 2009 - 8:38 am

He wasn’t sleeping. He was praying (which I think is still legal). His prayer: “Please God tell me that this person speaking is NOT seriously our Commander in Chief.”

David   December 2nd, 2009 - 8:39 am

This speech was almost as boring as his books. Go on and on with much to do about nothing. Also after 3 months I would figure he would have better
information or a larger international forces offering for Afganastan.

Having been a Plebe, and sitting through these type of events,

First of all thank you for all your opinions. True and actual writings.

I have had a thought that I would like to pass on to others. Why can’t we march on the White House or some where near and carry our signs that says: Obama/Barry/ “Show us your REAL birth certificate” Before hand we can notify the media in other countries what we plan to do. Since the media here is doing treason against us we need to get our doubts out some how.

This is kinda unfair to this good cadet. But someone let him know, I fell asleep too. For something so important to all our lives, this was so boring. Please tell the President to get to the point and be a bit more inspiring.

I hope the filthy liar doesn’t have this kid expelled. That would be the Chicago way.

what does this speech have in common with the Charlie Brown Christmas episode that was preempted? blah, blah, blah? blah, blah, blah, blah? blah! blah. blah, blah, blah….at least CB has a moral to the story. Good grief!

BREITBART CENSORS POSTING…INTERESTING….MSNBC SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS….

Proof that this cadet uses his time wisely; if it were me, I would be puking in a brown paper bag from hearing the baboon teleprompt…

I cant blame the man for sleeping. I didnt even watch this bum’s speech last night…instead I WENT TO SLEEP!
Thank god I did too!
I have better things to do with my time then listen to the man-child Paper-tiger President spout garbage on the boob-tube when I could be counting sheep instead!
He has no backbone, no honor, no shame.
Cant wait to see him kicked out of office in 2012.
I will definately stay awake for that announcement!

He’s such a hypocrite.
It gets more and more disgusting to watch every day.

princetrumpet   December 2nd, 2009 - 9:06 am

I noticed people nodding off throughout the speech left and right. I thought it it was ironically funny. You literally could make a musical montage of sleepers just with the footage from last night. Sounds like a project!

he’s not sleeping. he’s just resting his eyes. they are tired from studying for finals and a room full of hot air.

Remove the Ccadet from West Point…. Per regulation, service members only need
six hours of sleep… Bottom line is clear, if you sleep on the Commander in Chief
, you bound to sleep on the soldiers that you’re responding for leading… I would
not want this joker leading any my nephew, son,or grandson… Regardless of the
situation, today’s armed service members must stay focus and on point.

Hope.

Change.

2010.

And especially 2012.

I think the only humane thing to do at this point is feed this marxist president, his cabinet, and the congressional libs to the poor endangered overheated polar bears. On second thought …they would probably get food poisoning.

I show this cadet, as well as another who snoozed — and show Chris “enemy camp” Matthews at his best at:

Get some rest son. You’ve earned it. Thank you for your continued service to this great republic.

AynRand   December 2nd, 2009 - 9:20 am

He was picturing how he would save his own arss, and those of his comrades, in this ridiculous plan that The One is spewing about. “Let me be clear, Mr. Tall-E-bon, we’ll be sending more troops very soon…and then leaving the job unfinished as early as 2011. Got that, Mr. Tall-E-bon?”

Could have been worse. Check out the video at the link below. I slept through the lecture in the link below and through Henry Kissinger’s 2 hour speech my plebe year, just to name a couple. Cadets are tired people. Long days are filled with stress most people can’t begin to imagine. I think it’s hilarious and really doubt anyone will get in trouble.

Has anyone asked Chris Mathews what it means when “your enemy” falls asleep in your presence?

Kevin   December 2nd, 2009 - 9:36 am

As far as the Cadet falling asleep, one would have to understand the incredible pace these young gentlemen are subject to.

Personally, I was not at all lulled to sleep by Obama’s speech. I was too busy trying to find something to throw at my T.V, whilst in a fit of rage.

I generally come to this web site just to get a good laugh for the day from these Obama haters.It’s good to see a reasonable post for a change.

Everything is not about left or right

Harry   December 2nd, 2009 - 10:07 am

The only difference between him and the other cadets was that they were trained better at sleeping while appearing awake!
