You can very likely add picks of your own to this list of affronts to our armed forces by the Commander in Chief, the First Lady and others in the Obama regime. But you’ll probably have a hard time finding an image that’s more outrageous than what we saw today in the rainy Rose Garden:
You can click here to see the stunning video of that moment President Obama looked past his civilian aides and advisors and called on the Marine Guard to come over and hold the umbrella so Mr. Obama wouldn’t get wet.
It was this incredibly awkward, self-indulgent show of disrespect to the dutiful young Marine that got us to thinking about other insults by team Obama to our honorable men and women in uniform. So, in no particular order, here’s a very brief list:
February 2011: Obama met the SEALS who killed OBL and praised their mission as “one of the greatest military operations in our nation’s history”. Taking nothing at all away from that mission, was the Bin Laden raid really ”one of the greatest military operations in our nation’s history”? Greater than D-Day, the Battle of Okinawa or Midway or numerous other battles from WWII? Greater than the Battle of Yorktown in the Revolutionary War? Or did Obama laud the OBL raid because he happened to be Commander in Chief when it occurred? Can you say, “Narcissist”?
February 2013: Michelle Obama’s surprise Oscar presentation in which the elegantly dressed First Lady was flanked by young service members in full regalia. The military as props for Ms Obama’s glitzy, pop star pageantry.
December 2012: The administration declares that troop insensitivity to Afghan culture, not Taliban infiltration, is behind the recent spike in deadly attacks. In fact, a draft Army handbook advises troops against insulting not just sacred Islamic figures but the Taliban themselves. Also off-limits according to Obama etiquette: “advocating women’s rights,” “any criticism of pedophilia,” “mentioning homosexuality and homosexual conduct” or “anything related to Islam.”
October 2011: In a shocking show of insensitivity to the sacrifice of our military families, the First Lady reportedly remarked how she “never gets to do anything with her husband, and hadn’t seen him in three days….” You have to wonder what the audience at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia thought about such a terrible three-day separation, when the families in attendance often had to endure many months apart.
September 2012: Who can forget the seeming disregard with which the U.S. military was treated when our fighting forces were insulted at the Democratic National Convention. With proud veterans lined up as so much scenery on the stage, a rousing video was displayed on the giant screen. A video that featured not American ships and planes, but Russian warships and Turkish jets!
The DNC later apologized.
Current: And of course there’s the ongoing effort to muzzle Christians in the military, to shut them up, essentially to drive them into the shadows and cleanse Christianity from the ranks. Incredibly, a rabid anti-Christian crusader named Mikey Weinstein has been hired as a “tolerance” consultant to the military. Among Weinstein’s more shocking quotes is this:
Today, we face incredibly well-funded gangs of fundamentalist Christian monsters who terrorize their fellow Americans by forcing their weaponized and twisted version of Christianity upon their helpless subordinates in our nation’s armed forces.
We invite you to comment with your examples of how Barack and Michelle Obama and their progressive buddies have routinely insulted, slighted, demeaned and disparaged America’s mighty military.
