****.
He stood that soldier up at the end, the man with the blasted head and the ruined life, with the visible dent in his skull, who will never ever be even remotely close to the same again because of the ten deployments we sent him off to so someone he'll never meet can make a lot of money, and gave that man his reward: a standing ovation from the worst roomful of people on the skin of the Earth...
...followed by this burbled bit of spitup pabulum: "Sometimes we make mistakes."
WOW DUDE. DEEP.
Yeah. That happened. On national television.
That guy deserves better than a star turn in the parliament of whores, he deserves better than "Oops" from his Commander in Chief, and speaking of the boss, that guy deserves better than to be a prop in a passion play about how everything is awesome, and the last 13 years never happened.
I am sure the to-the-knife Obama defenders out there will seethe and howl upon reading this. Whatever, man. That was one of the more despicable displays I have ever had the misfortune to witness. He had the opportunity to do more than use a blasted, shattered soldier as a prop in a ZOMG HOW AWESOME IS AMERICA I MEAN TOTALLY montage, to maybe bring home some truths about actions and consequences...and he went for the easy applause line and the "Awwwww" moment.
You say "Awwwww" at puppies and babies. You don't say "Awwww" at ruined soldiers victimized by ruined policy deployed by a ruined country...and if you have half a conscience, you make note of that on the largest stage with the biggest microphone in the world.
Another missed opportunity in what has become a truly impressive string of missed opportunities. Yeah, the SOTU is a show. That does not mean it has to be utterly meaningless, and it certainly does not mean that it has to be grossly exploitative.
Maybe I'll feel different tomorrow upon review. I doubt it. I am sick to my stomach.

194. Don't you have a homeless woman to harass or something?
More proof that post count and intelligence are many times inversely proportional.
Just embarrassing.

Always interesting when supposedly new DUers remember stuff that's years before their time.

Jeez, Will, how many more times must you be let down by your petty god to figure out you've been a ****ing idiot for propping him up?
I suspect the bottom line is, Bill the Bostonian Drunkard's in the Big Zero's corner no matter what.
But the poor boy wants some attention, and so took this contrarian position, even though he doesn't really mean it. He just wants the attention.
Wee Willy doubles down

One day we'll reach them, maybe not through words, but one day...........

I "****"ing support Will Pitt!
His post calling out Obama for using a vet as a prop was right and I support his guts for telling the truth. He's taking a lot of flack for standing up for what he believes and should know that he's not alone in thinking that our vets deserve better.
Hmm...sounds like a threat.
