\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: President Obama thought he would relate to the troops. This is yesterday afternoon Burlington County, New Jersey, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. Obama speaking to the troops and their families trying to relate to them, trying to show them he appreciates what they do, understands what they do, very much supports what they do. Here\u2019s the first sound bite.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: You never stop serving. You never stop giving. You guys are like Santa in fatigues. Although I\u2019ll bet one of those C-130s is a little more efficient than Santa\u2019s sleigh. I figured I\u2019d get something out — out of our guys on that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You talk about a joke that fell flat. Did you hear that? President Barack Hussein O equating the uniformed United States military with Santa Claus. “You never stop serving. You never stop giving. You guys are like Santa in fatigues. I\u2019ll bet one of those C-130s is a little more efficient than Santa\u2019s sleigh.” They didn\u2019t laugh. It\u2019s not because they\u2019re opposed to Santa Claus. Not at all. But they don\u2019t do what Santa Claus does. They don\u2019t have a bunch of little elves running around making things at the North Pole. Here\u2019s the next Obama sound bite proving he learned nothing from Iraq.<\/line><\/p>\n

OBAMA: After more than a decade of war, our nation is marking an important milestone.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What\u2019s that?<\/p>\n

OBAMA: This month in just two weeks the transition that we\u2019re making in Afghanistan will be complete.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What\u2019s that?<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Afghans will take full responsibility for their security. This month, after more than 13 years, our combat mission in Afghanistan will be over.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Did we win? Does anybody know? Snerdley, did we win in Afghanistan? Does anybody know? (interruption) Well, I know he didn\u2019t say. I don\u2019t think he learned the lesson of Iraq. We\u2019re pulling out of there. We haven\u2019t won, but we\u2019re getting out of there. And this is so that he can, ladies and gentlemen, so that he can make the military more lean so that he can gut the mill. He doesn\u2019t need it anymore. We\u2019re getting out of Afghanistan. But we didn\u2019t win. It\u2019s not finished. I don\u2019t even know what Obama\u2019s objective there was. I don\u2019t know that there was ever gonna be a way of proclaiming victory. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
