While it is somewhat obvious that Obama was speaking as a private citizen, he is nonetheless the Failure-in-Chief and should have given a bit more care to the wording. One would expect that a truly gifted orator would have nail it perfectly. Wow. Not only is he a lousy leader, but he isn't much of an orator either. Who knew?
Who knew that the difference of one word (my vs our), even though it makes perfect sense within the context, is what distinguishes a good orator from a bad one?
That doesn't explain away Obama's gaffe that the military fights for him.
Go figure that Cheney is years ahead of Barry on this one.So I guess Obama finally agrees with Dick Cheney about something.
What, the President of the United Stated is not an American?
When did that happen?

I'm currently 10 years in with one combat tour and another coming up next year. With that said, kids today have different motives for joining the military. The most common reason is free school. Almost everyone in my unit who volunteered for a second deployment did for the sole reason of qualifying for 100% of the post 9-11 bill, one deployment only gets you 60%. And I wont fool myself into thinkin that's happening only in my unit. Believe me, I wish they joined for the love of their country.
Political foes always jump on each other.

This issue really should die a quiet death.
A politician mis-spoke...sort of....meh....
It'll happen again. Mitt will do it too.
The OP must be a Faux News viewer. They try to twist everything into nothing.
Fox News does have a conservative slant, but you can not say that the rest of the lame-stream media doesn't have a liberal slant. Suggest you read the book "Bias" by Bernard Goldberg

Brainwashing comes from the left too. People will cite books & statistics from both sides, but this strikes me as merely entrenching each, &The thing is, though, that Fox News is far, far, far more slanted than any of the other media to the point that it's an absolute joke -- especially their claim to be "fair and balanced."
Studies show that people who watch Fox News are less informed than those who don't watch any news at all.
Fox has been at the center of scandals involving the "news" section (as opposed to the "entertainment" sections -- Fox's way of getting away with being utterly biased and then whining that they're "entertaining" sometimes and not informing) being given talking points with extreme conservative slants.
Fox has been busted altering photos of their ideological enemies to make them look more sinister (e.g., adding dark circles under the eyes, receding the hair line, etc.)
Nearly all of Fox's "opinions" are conservative (and their opinions consist of, frankly, 90% of their material) -- the "liberals" they provide as supposed counterpoints are the furthest right-leaning, lightweight "liberals" imaginable (they're essentially pathetic strawmen).
Fox is a joke. It's neither fair or balanced, and they don't even report so that we can decide -- they clearly already make the decisions by offering their opinions during the reporting. It's the most brain-dead garbage available in the media; and I would say that if they were a liberal force instead of a conservative one, too.
I think it says a lot that Fox viewers end up less informed than people that watch no news at all. Garbage in, garbage out.

Also, asking us to read a book by a contributor to Fox (Goldberg) about why Fox's competitors are supposedly biased is in itself... pretty laughably ridiculous. :sarcastic
I really, really, really think you need to re-evaluate your worldview esmith, at least in terms of the trustworthiness of your chosen media and the absolute NONSENSE that media is brainwashing you with.

I'll never forgive you for providing me with that mental image!....."slobbering love affair with President Obama"
Hypocrite much?Everyone has their own political opinion, and in my case it is as a fiscal conservative. I and my spouse both watch the Fox News and Fox Business programing. I also watch Meet the Press, Chris Mathews Show and Face the Nation. I am 70 years old and feel that I am very well informed on what is going on in this country and the world. I would like to know who you consider "trustworthy" to keep you informed on the US and world situation.
Now to your blatantly uninformed comment about the book "Bias". It was published in 2002. It is obvious that you will never read this book, because it doesn't support your ideas. You appear to be unwilling to be exposed to anything that goes against your obvious political stance. You, sir or madam, are the uniformed if you are unwilling to listen to information that does not support your beliefs.
Every "News" program I watch on either the Fox News or Fox Business attempts to provide contributors with opposing views to put forth their opinion. What main stream network (CBS, NBC, ABC) "News" program has the time or inclination to do this. You must agree that the majority of the press has a "slobbering love affair with President Obama"
You are using the word "Hypocrite" as a verb whereas it is a noun.Hypocrite much?
