#14  I just hope the MSM does not flip on this guy before the convention. Remember, he's still not got the nomination tied up.

#13  What complete and utter shite this coverage is.

#12  More like Tourist of (someone else's) Duty.

#11  Next thing you know they will give BO a Nobel Peace Prize for his "Tour of Duty." That will be followed by an Academy Award for his acting.

Geez, do these MSM types have no shame? Calling this media blitz a Tour of Duty is an insult to anyone who has served a real tour of duty in Iraq or Afghanistan. The MSM has pulled out all the stops to try get the Messiahman elected.

#10  All they need is some mournful harmonica music in the background...

#9  "Tour of Duty" sounds better than "Tour of Sucking Up and Trying to Look Important While Not Admitting You Were Wrong About Everything". Shorter, too.

#8  Just finished reading a great piece over at ThreatsWatch that rips Obama a new onetakes Obama to task over his Iraq "plan".

#7  If I recall correctly, the latest polls have McCain and Obama within statistical variation in Michigan, and McCain leading slightly in Ohio. Oh, and something like 70% of those asked believe the media are significantly biased in favour of Obama. Perhaps Cpt. J is not the only one reporting in from this Tour.

#6  If this is blunt and to the point I am sorry but I wanted you all to know what kind of caliber of person he really is. What you see in the news is all fake.

In service,
CPT J
Bagram, Afghanistan


Thanks CPT J. We pretty much had the bugger pegged, but from your report he's just created new lows.

#5  Awarding the Big-O a Silver Peacock with a "V", eh?

#4  Cut him some slack. There wasn't a Whole Foods around for thousands of miles, and you don't wanna know what they tried to pass off as "arugula".

"Tour of Doody"

#2  On the ground report from a soldier.

Summed up, Obama is an elitist asshole.

#1  Hmmm. Maybe "duty" in the sense of what gets cleaned out of the litter box. Certainly not duty as it refers to the exertions of soldiers...
