Why retired Generals and Admirals support Barack Obama

[waterkeeper03]

4 years later, what do all these jerkoffs have to say about him now?

hmm.. can't find a current video of any military personnel supporting this asshole.

[abredell]

oh did do the smart thing with the seal team 6

[chewbaca1989]

ROFL... ok now I'm sad.

[ObscureDEG]

i think the people who should make this decision is the actual soldiers. There is constant debate on whether the gay soldiers will be a distraction or create a sense of uncomfortableness between the gay ones and the straight soldiers. So the ones that are going to know if it will be a distraction or it will be uncomfortable are the soldiers themselves. Obama should ask the soldiers officers and enlisted

[Darkrunner1975]

Hmm. Two years since the last post. I served in the Marines and recognize a fail commander when I see one.

So, how do you like your change now?

[GeneF16]

I wore the Air Force uniform for 35 years. I can count the visionary leaders in the Air Force during that time on one hand. General Merrill McPeak was one of those real leaders. He is responsible for the structure that put all forces under one commander. We did not have that in Vietnam but we did during Desert Storm. His detractors said he put the Air Force personnel in Navy uniforms. In fact, those so called Navy uniforms with stripes for officers were like other Air Forces. I respect him.

[badtown88]

That's not true. And your parents are idiots. Ask them how they could vote for a man (McCain) who opposed the 2008 GI bill over another man (Obama) who voted for it.

[badtown88]

Haha, intelligent people recognize that Obama supported the troops far more than McCain did. McCain was a two-faced liar. Thank god Obama won.

[eyeonwashparish]

The Republican Party is a HOT MESS right now. Plus, what was McCain going to accomplish with DC full of Democrats in various high ranking offices? LOL

GO OBAMA!!

[PatGund]

Which is why, I suspect, active duty troops supported Obama over McCain by 6:1 during the election, right?

[ponic420h]

No Shock Barack

[Tigereye77]

lol no drama obama awesome

[brentj30]

Education over Ignorance Equality over Bigotry Intellect over Stupidity Respect over Rudeness Truth over Lies Diplomacy over War Understanding over fear Issues over Deception Progress over Stagnation Country over politics Hope over Hate Easy Choice Isn't it? OBAMA OVER McCAIN!!!

[raoulhery]

even powell is tired of republicans!! for the good of his country he turned his back on his fellows and side!! he choose someone more constructive!! Mc Cain= Mc Same!!

[angelsul]

go obama

[EUamerican]

"He isn't against war - just against dumb war!"

Well, very, very good!

[runningchance]

General Powell (Republican Secretary of State)endorses Senator Obama, by the way General Powell is still a Republican. I just decided to go ahead and cast my vote tomorrow in early voting for Senator Obama. I am a conservative like Secretary Powell but as Americans we need desperate change. I'm still not voting straight Democrat but I will vote for Obama.

[RepublicanValuesLOL]

"No shock Barack"

"No drama Obama"

This from our nation's military leaders. We shouldn't be surprised that McCain's Navy commanders never saw fit to promote him to command rank after he graduated 4th from the bottom of his class, crashed FIVE airplanes, and by his own admission was reckless and irresponsible. Like he still is.

[toosinbeymen]

No shock Barak, No trama Obama. I love it!

[Believeindafuture]

What veteran doesn't support the GI bill? oh, yeah McCain.

Vote Nov.4!

[moles2000]

McCain showed his true colors when he invited Palin to be his running mate. Scared the heck out of me. But are you ALL doing your best to reach out to your personal friends to convince them to vote? We have got to reach the young voters and non-voters because they can make or break this election! Please go to work for our country, I am.

[johnstevenmotley]

This great man Barrack Obama graduated # 1 at Harvard Law School. McCain finshed 5th from the bottom at the Naval Academy! Hello???? Who do you want to lead our great nation? I'm a retired Marine and only one of many active duty military and veterans for Obama! Yes We Can! Obama/Biden 2008!

[lthom33]

Obama has been saying for months that we needed a timeline to force the Iraqi people to form their own government, as the surge failed to do this. Now the idiot Bush is doing just that, and McCain is supporting it as well, but not before they reamed Obama in the media for his stance. Same thing with Pakistan. This clip clearly shows how the commanders of our country see Obama as a true leader, someone who is rational & doesn't rush into war, and someone willing to promote pace talks first.

[mayyourtruthbetold]

Another active Military family for Obama / Biden. Obama always faithful and always level headed.

OOOHAAA Simper FI always faithful

[ViperLord21]

Obama/Biden 08. Vote for our troops. Vote for change.

[bluesrunnerdog]

Obama 08.

[ViperLord21]

But why listen to people who actually know their stuff?

[ViperLord21]

Maybe we should actually be listening to the military instead of listening to what McCain tells us they think.

[rebeccapena]

YES! Does anyone have the footage of all those military leaders (generals and admirals) showing support on the stage at the Denver convention on 8/28/08? I would LOVE for that to get forwarded throughout the country to all the nay-sayers that say he's not backed by the military!

[ViperLord21]

But then the Republicans will say it was invented by the fictional liberal media.

[sanof44]

Barack obama has raised more contributions to his campaign from the US military than any of the other candidates that ran.

This guy is gonna make a fantastic commander in chief.

[ViperLord21]

Indeed he will, something most of the current pitiful excuses for Republicans would like you to ignore. This needs to be on television.

[socratiskiss]

I've never seen that; thank you for posting it.

OBAMA ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL The way!!!!

Down with McSAME!

[darwinx0101]

no shock barack! no drama obama!

[bluesrunnerdog]

GOOOOOOOO OBAMA!

[SoakyBeaver]

Ron Paul's voting record is a HECK of a lot more consistant than Obama's.

tbh I don't think Obama's number one priority is freedom.

[cabalofdemons]

Barack Obama all the way

[halo3funatic9999]

Obama all the way.

[sabymoon]

Have you guys seen some of the scary stuff out there about Obama? they think he's a Muslim or Communist plant.. how do they get that idea? Don't they read history, don't they understand the concept of the Military Industrial Complex (Eisenhower), do they forget that Reagan worked on mutual nuclear disarmament with USSR? I think these chickenhawks are so afraid, and therefore Not very American. Let's get a smart, level headed president back in the White House. This time,it's Obama

[Tomislav1903]

Chuck norris

[roomsixproductions]

I honestly think that Barack Obama will be a great President. He's shown himself to be a man of wisdom and character time and time again. He's patient and thoughtful, and he always tries to stay on the positive side.

Is he perfect? No. Who is?

[iamalbright2]

I just wish that my Republican friends would take the time to listen to this and keep an open mind. I thought Obama did a great job handling the Rev Wright/Race issue and did a great job on Meet the Press on Sunday. Wake up America! Obama is the kind of leader ther WORLD needs today!

[Madadaal]

Obama 08

[ver506]

Barack Obama for president!

[Oli3TB76]

no shock barack, no drama obama

[crazycoolone]

Everyone supporting Sen. Obama should forward this to at least 10 friends. Let You Tube be OUR CNN & FOX!!!

[Starvalleybotany]

You know I have made statements about Hillary regarding her so called experience, etc. but the bottom line is that I just don't trust her. She is not the same from day to day. She uses the victim card one day and then she goes on the attack the next. She shows forth positive respect for Barack another day and then she completely negates pretty much everything she has said the day before. I cannot trust a person like Hillary to lead our nation.

[Starvalleybotany]

This is powerful!! Hillary has a loud mouth and shouts and shouts about how she did this and did that and how experienced she is yet when the evidence is put forth she is shown to be a liar.

[magokleader]

I wonder why I haven't seen this on cnn, is the media trying to keep a close race for ratings or are they bias or sensationalist and just paying attention to the negativism of Hillary misspeaking of her trip to Bosnia.We deserve a different style of debate like Obama offers.

[hajqbvii]

The media lives on ratings, in meantime we have to go outside the mainstream of news media to find objective reporting.

I agree with the Gens., Dumb war and no-drama-Obama!

[JFrancisk]

Amazing site to say the least.

"No shock Barack" (vs. "chicken hawk and awe"), "no drama obama" darn Gen McPeak did't know you could get down like that.

Good stuff.

[taurusgames]

Bravo!

[johnosiri]

wow!!!!!

[jamesrobert2]

This is an important point, these men are trying to make. Couldn't agree more.

[rozmarie]

Thank you for this voice of sanity.

[rajnalu]

Awesome, The Generals and the former leaders of the Military deserve full marks for their recognition of what is needed in a Commander-In-Chief.

[900101haxa]

i liked to hear it!!

[galilio11]

waw a big winn for obama!

[sophiemarie49]

That last general said it all. We need a president who is steady, doesn't upset or get angry easily. And we need someone in charge with the good judgement that Obama has demonstrated repeatedly.

[lildray]

Obmam 08. FOX news CNN fair and balanced, run this clip 50 times a day, rather than Hillary's negative somments and pit bull verbal attcks on this man. We don't need a pit bull in the white house...

[bassaleman1]

No Shock Barack, and No Drama Obama I Love it!!

[FalconX2000]

In a crisis, he's not gonna go into a confused panic like Clinton has shown tendency to, or blow his top like Mccain has.

[howhow88]

Obama is magnificent

[sherijrich]

See now we knew this, didn't we fellow Obama's.. we've watched him have the kitchen sink.. and toilet thrown at him.. and he maintains his class & dignity while dodging bullets every step of the way. Thank You Generals for your support!

[highdimension11]

Wow, what an amazing endorsement. That's great. Go Obama!

[freeta2009]

this is truly sweet. Go obama08!

[BrainsAreIt]

This is huge news; yet CNN hasn't carried this, neither have FOX or CSPAN! And they have the nerve to insult our intelligence by telling us the media have a pro-Obama bias.

Hillary squeals a negative thing about Obama, she's all over the news. When he responds, we see nothing of it, unless we go online. When she loses to Obama, rather than discuss Obama's win, they gather a panel of teleprompter readers to discuss what she needs to do to "stop him" (their own words). Such journalism!

[bigcougar111]

Wow! Temperament. Go Obama.

[mydovesong]

thank you for the post!

[xterra8]

No Shock Barack...No Drama Obama.

Obama '08!

[robinho1979]

Obama 08!!!
