#1 I wonder if Barry will be walking around all decked out in his digital camouflage with matching helmet and flak jacket for the photo ops? Could be his "Duke in a Tank" moment.

#2 Im glad Barry is taking more sensible positions. The Kossacks can get all inflamed that he isnt what made him special, hes just a pol. I said all along he was really just a pol, no different from Clinton or from a Repub pol in that sense. Sure, I was mad as hell that Clinton lost on the false pretenses that Barry was NOT a pol.

But Hillary is done and over. If Barry is becoming MORE like Hillary - more pragmatic, more of a pol, and more centrist - then thats GOOD, and screw Kos and DU. And Jesse "smoked almonds" Jackson, while we're at it.

#3 If Barry is becoming MORE like Hillary...

He isn't. He is still the far left communist and pacifist we all know. He is just talking the game to get the vote and won't walk the walk after he wins.

#5 he's going to blow any chance of respect he has with the military.

What would Obama do with that? He has no use for it. What he wants is American defeat, no ifs ands or buts about it. First, because America disgusts him, and second, to make sure that Bush doesn't leave a positive legacy. Heck, Congress doomed South Vietnam in precisely the same way, simply to spite Nixon.
