Arrogant POS.

Hmm…but what kind of “job”…?

Commieobamie   November 24th, 2009 - 5:05 pm

What goal? What job? The USURPER doesn’t even know how to obtain VICTORY!

WW II Battleship sailor tells Obama to shape up or ship out !

This venerable and much honored WW II vet is well known in Hawaii
for his seventy-plus years of service to patriotic organizations and causes
all over the country. A humble man without a political bone in his body,
he has never spoken out before about a government official, until now.
He dictated this letter to a friend, signed it and mailed it to the president.

Dear President Obama,

My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don’t believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.

I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos’n Mate. Now I live in a “rest home” located on the western end of Pearl Harbor, allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.

One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man.

So here goes.

I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do, but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.

I can’t figure out what country you are the president of.
You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like:
” We’re no longer a Christian nation”
” America is arrogant” – (Your wife even
announced to the world,”America is mean-
spirited. ” Please tell her to try preaching
that nonsense to 23 generations of our
war dead buried all over the globe who
died for no other reason than to free a
whole lot of strangers from tyranny and
hopelessness.)
I’d say shame on the both of you, but I don’t think you like America, nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do, for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.

After 9/11 you said,” America hasn’t lived up to her ideals.”

Which ones did you mean? Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British? Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man, that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War? I hope you didn’t mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellas I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around, because we stand for freedom.

I don’t think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.

Take a little advice from a very old geezer, young man.

Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don’t, I’ll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue. You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves.

And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don’t want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts, who was putting up a fight? You don’t mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don’t want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists.

One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life, but you’re the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you’re not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you’re thinking of.

You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president.
You’re not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That’s not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now.
And I sure as hell don’t want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle.

Sincerely,
Harold B. Estes

When a 95 year old hero of the “the Greatest Generation”
stands up and speaks out like this, I think we owe it
to him to send his words to as many Americans as
we can. Please pass it on.

Didn’t think I’d live to see the day we could have a president worse than Jimmuh Cahtah but lo and behold, you think liberals hit bottom and they just keep on going. Carter is going to look like Einstein after the manchurian candidate is done.

Doug Holdridge   November 24th, 2009 - 5:46 pm

Hmmmmmm…what happened to his pre-election rhetoric about Osama bin Laden.
Obama told CBS’s “60 Minutes”, “And I think capturing or killing bin Laden is a critical aspect of stamping out al Qaeda. He is not just a symbol, he’s also the operational leader of an organization that is planning attacks against U.S. targets.” No reference to ObL in his latest roll-up to next weeks national TV address.

Instead of saying he “intends to finish the job”…
why can’t he say “it is essential that we win this war”
and then follow through on Gen. McCrystal’s request for 40K more troops.

That’s what a President is supposed to do as Commander-In-Chief.
But wait, we don’t really have a President right now.

please send the idiot back to the village where he rightfully belongs!!!

txmike   November 24th, 2009 - 6:37 pm

Does this job require his special socialist mop that he still does not know how to hold correctly? Or does this job require yet another photo op or bending over in submission or recklessly spending money. If it were not for our brave military volunteers, then I would have no expectations for this job getting done corectly

txmike   November 24th, 2009 - 6:40 pm

Which is the bigger HOAX Obama or Climate Change.

Call it “New York’s War” and bring them all home so they can take care of their own families when these lying bags of garbage bring down the whole system.

Bill   November 24th, 2009 - 7:24 pm

He may appear to be an idiot, but he knows exactly what he is doing. It is all well planned, and they think they can succeed because they believe the American people are schmucks. Calling our representatives and senators obviously does not work. The future of our children rests in our hands. Employ their own tactics against them. Forget about being politically correct. This is war. As was done with Acorn, infiltrate the socialist groups and gather information. As the light of day shines on this evil, it can be stopped.

anon   November 24th, 2009 - 7:35 pm

Finish the job? Is this a job that was created, or saved?

lvh   November 24th, 2009 - 7:49 pm

I agree..”Somewhere in Kenya a village is missing an idiot.”

couch potato   November 24th, 2009 - 8:06 pm

Did you see the lady bending over? (at the 1:01 mark)

She was either bending over to give the guy next to her a knobber, or rolling up her pants legs.

Pretty sure she was rolling up her pants legs because the shyte was rising around everyone’s ankles.

claspur   November 24th, 2009 - 8:11 pm

How can you finish a job without the supplies(troops deployed) to get the job done, Maobummercorn?

This is(or isn’t) being all done on purpose.
You’ve got to think outside the box.

The powers that be, right now, are running The Big Show. I’m not talking Maobummercorn…. He and His commie ilk are being directed by The Bilderberg Group, The Tri-Lateral Commission and other MEGA-Wealthy oligarchies.
These people are running The Fed… The Fed runs Wall Street-telling how much The Treasury should print-in worthless currency….

Look outside the box, people. That’s very important for you understand now.

Bush was a puppet too.
Now that that’s out of the way…. Hillbillary would’ve been a puppet too, ‘cept They figured Maobummercorn would make a better puppet.
I’ll leave-it to the *Thinkers reading this to guess why. ;o)

Those WTO protests over the last few years… I thought they were nutrag scum? Boy, was I mistaken. They are fighting against anti-globalism.

Probably I don’t like most of how They look at the world, however, I do-now understand their fight.
THEY don’t want a ONE WORLD ORDER either.

And…. after Thanksgiving, we will hear a decision will be made after Christmas.

couch potato   November 24th, 2009 - 8:18 pm

OMG!!!

PER http://www.telegraph.co.uk:

Bob Ainsworth, the defence secretary, has blamed Barack Obama and the United States for the decline in British public support for the war in Afghanistan.

Mr Ainsworth took the unprecedented step of publicly criticising the US President and his delays in sending more troops to bolster the mission against the Taliban.

Mr. Ainsworth…Please don’t blame the US of A!

It’s George Bu….er…Barack Obama’s fault.

Obama is aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood   November 24th, 2009 - 8:27 pm

Obama isn’t going to finish anything. His policies are exactly in line with the policies of the Muslim Brotherhood. This is a very dangerous man I found out and is stealthily pushing the Muslim agenda. Hence his tamped down response regarding the Ft. Hood massacre. Here is a Newsmax report from Frank Gaffney you should watch. http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid20971858001?bclid=22770165001&bctid=52478851001

Fat Gandhi   November 24th, 2009 - 8:37 pm

Obama knows what he is doing, alright.
He is sacrificing the lives of better men than him to save himself the embarrassment of having to walk up onto the podium to accept his Nobel Peace Prize after sending in troops to Afghanistan.

This guy is a traitor, a despot and a murderer.

The best thing Obama can do for our forces is:

Sit Down–

Shut Up–

Get Out of Their Way–

Get Hold of Biden and Gibbs and Shove Kotex’s in Their Mouths–

And Start Looking For Another Job—

tickyul   November 24th, 2009 - 10:19 pm

Uh, Uh, Uh, what is our goal in this 6th world country? I can tell you right now at least 1/2 of the population is radical muslims. Are they going to like us if we pay off enough warlords? Can we kill off all the radicals, Nope! Time to cut our losses and get out. Then we can concentrate on making changes inside the USA which will have a much bigger impact on OUR security. It really pains me when I see a soldier on tv who has 1 leg, 1 arm , and 1/2 a face.

I’m not in a rabbid-mode right now against Maobummercorn, as I was just thinking about returning soldiers being put-on a terrorist watch list as I entered this post…. *Yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Go to “OathKeepers.org” right now.

Make copies of what you read, and hand them to street cops, in their squad cars-sucking the jelly-out of their doughnuts.

This anti-Americanism will stop, regardless, in the next ninety days.

Ask the Cops, firmly, what side of the fence they’re on.

Then shove some-more paperwork to read at them too, “Oathkeepers.org”

Here’s the kicker with Oath Keepers…. all military and Police take that oath to Keep, and defend The Constitution of The United States.

If you find a cop balking, He’s an enemy to this nation.
