Fuck You Very Much, Mr. Commander-in-Chief. Sir. (15)

"... when Patrick Collins called the White House and asked to have President Obama call his ex-wife, Linda, to talk about their son... He was told that Obama did not regularly make phone calls to the families of fallen soldiers.


Later, Patrick Collins read a story about Obama’s phone call to Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffery Lurie. Obama reportedly praised Lurie for giving quarterback Michael Vick a second chance to play football after serving time in prison for running a dog fighting ring.


“That burns,” Patrick Collins said Thursday.


“Any soldier that gets killed in action, you’d think the president would be calling someone in the family. There’s no politics in it. His predecessor did it,” Collins said.

Someone should ask that sociopathic poseur in the WH at present how many thousands of troops' families Bush visited or called.

States petition Eric Holder and DOJ to interfere with troops' votes!

Twelve states have applied for waivers from protecting military voters in the 2010 election: New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, Maryland, Delaware, Wisconsin, Colorado, Washington, Hawaii, Alaska, and the District of Columbia.

The current legislation requires the states to ship ballots to the troops at least 45 days prior to the election to ensure they are received and counted.  In the last Presidential election at least 17,000 GI votes were never tallied because they were not received timely.  The Pentagon is authorized to grant such waivers but is obviously reluctant to, so these states (Alaska, what the HELL are you doing running with these dirtbags?) are petitioning DOJ to somehow intervene.

This is horsecrap from a particularly sick and runny horse.  I volunteer with Operation Gratitude, and they can get a package from the US to any soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan within a week, and these state governments can't mail a ballot?  They can't be returned timely?

Here's a wild idea: count the fricking ballots at the fricking embassies.  Even the State Department can work a damned e-mail.   Then send the hardcopies along for validation at your leisure.  This is nothing but a blatant attempt by "blue" states to eliminate what they fear will be "red" ballots from their elections.

Obama's Secretary of the Navy to Name New Warship for Lying, Thieving, Corrupt, Slanderous Congressional Hack...

HT: Commander Salamander


Oh Hell No...

"The Navy’s 10th San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock will be named for Rep. John Murtha, the long-serving Pennsylvania Democrat who chaired the powerful House appropriations defense subcommittee before he died in February.

"According to a Navy memorandum obtained by Navy Times, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus notified Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gary Roughead that he had selected “John P. Murtha” for the previously unnamed LPD 26. It’s the latest example of the Navy breaking a convention for naming its warships; the previous ships in the San Antonio class have been named for American cities."
