Obama re-election campaign goes to Afghanistan, spikes the football in an empty stadium

President Obama, who personally waxed Osama bin Laden with his bare hands, took his re-election campaign on a victory lap around Afghanistan today.

The White House tried (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) to keep the visit under wraps. Woulda worked too, except for Brave Sir Barack's prime-time address to the nation from Bagram Air Force Base.

An address that no U.S. military personnel were permitted to attend.

He took Air Force One halfway around the world to spike the football in an empty stadium, because the video will look good in his re-election campaign commercials.

I wonder, did he bring his faux Grecian columns? Because the photo op with the faux Grecian columns seems like it'd be too good to pass up.

I didn't think it was possible for me to (a) be more cynical, or (b) have any less respect for the empty suit who pretends to be our military's commander in chief. I was wrong.

Fortunately Smitty, who's Been There And Done That in Afghanistan, posted a video which puts Brave Sir Barack's pathetic little stunt into the proper perspective.

Barry didn't even have the decency, nay he didn't even think that it mattered, to include the men who put their lives on the line so he could take the credit. He spoke to an empty room. The backdrop was more important to him than the heroism of our troops.

Barack Obama is a disgrace to the very notion of America. He isn't only unworthy, he's an insult to the men and women who serve this nation with honor. How could he even understand their ethos, when his only brush with sacrifice is having to make due with arugula from Whole Foods when Michelle's garden comes up short?

Smitty crowned him #OccupyResoluteDesk. And it's true. Barack Obama is unfit for command and undeserving of our respect. That's why he kept the military at bay while he preened for the cameras; because they'd mock him and deep down he knew they'd be right.
