What I am going to say to every Monkey who screams "Obama never wore a uniform"

Here are his two back to back posts on my wall:

Rightie: I'm sure Bush didn't lie to the American public about an illicit affair either but that's just how liberals roll...

Me: Rightie, stop crotch sniffing. It was gross back then (or don't you remember your party saying it was embarrassing they did that) and it's still gross now. If YOU can't see the ABJECT PHOTO SHOPPING, meaning this isn't even a GOOD job done, the repeats are OBVIOUS, it says a lot more about YOU than it ever did about the ass who tried to perpetrate this as a true story. Oh, and spare me the "President Obama never wore a uniform" BULLSHIT, BULLSHIT, BULLSHIT meme because he has donned the uniform of COMMANDER IN CHIEF for the past four years, and you know it. Did *MITT* put on a uniform? Wait, wait, where was Mitt when he was avoiding the draft? Oh *THAT'S* right...in *France*.

Good morning everybody!!!

1. Ask them to show you Romney in a uniform, except maybe at a prep school.

They ask the lamest questions, anyway.

5. Ikr? Somehow, in Wing World, President Obama's college transcripts = Mitt Romney' tax returns. nt

[rfranklin]

15. Has any President released his college transcripts?

I can't recall any. Bush's I think were leaked by someone else.

[bitchkitty]

2. Block him? n/t

[Sekhmets Daughter]

4. Yep

That's what I would do. I have never understood the fascination with people you don't even like.

6. You have talking monkeys where you live? Fascinating.

[Capt. Obvious]

7. Obama never wore magic underwear either

[Honeycombe8]

8. Here ya go:

Obama didn't dodge the draft and go on an all expenses-paid trip to France to unsuccessfully "convert" French people, letting others die in his place in Vietnam, like Romney. If Obama had been old enough, he would've been one of the first drafted, being black, physically fit, and not rich. And his character tells us that he would've done his duty proudly. Nothing in his life indicates that he has ever shirked his duty, unlike Romney.

As for the 2nd...I don't know what he's referring to, about some mistress.

16. Talking about Clinton. Must be an older rightie.

I worked with a few guys in the '90's who hated Bill Clinton with a white-hot passion even before he took office because he beat Bush 41 and kept the Reagan Republic from reaching fruition. Primarily it was because Clinton protested the Vietnam war "overseas", which meant, of course, he was supposed to be a slimy draft dodger (even though his number never came up).
Who knows what he would have done if his number had come up, but with as much university as he had already gone through and some of his Arkansas political strings even then, he was probably eligible for any number of deferments or other options that the average draftee would not have been eligible. Course, he still may have served, but if the situation never occurs, how can you judge someone on their reaction.
These are the same guys - mostly Vietnam vets who considered themselves hard-working, sacrificing, and patriotic - for whom Shrub (who got preferential treatment to stay in the TANG and coke himself silly in Alabama while they slogged through the jungles) and 5-deferment Cheney could do no wrong.

9. Re Bush: Yeah well, neither Clinton nor Obama are wanted war criminals

concerning their arrest warrants in (IIRC) Portugal, Belgium and other countries.

10. Mitt not only safely demonstrated for the war, he took credit for someone else's protest...

Carey Coulter was one of the demonstrators alongside Mr Romney that day. He told BuzzFeed.com: “We were there to get an education and these people holding the administration hostage was antithetical to that.”

“Mitt walked up to me and said that he had some experience with the press, and that he would handle the press for me if I wanted him to. I said fine, because I was busy running the demonstration.”

“I don’t recall ever seeing him again.”

So Willard shows up to a protest that someone else has organized, finds the press, gets the credit, and then disappears. This is the kind of man that Mitt Romney is. This is the kind of man that he will always be

11. Wow. You are so right.

[demosincebirth]

12. Obama was too young for Vietnam.

[pinboy3niner]

13. Mitt Romney, chickenhawk fortunate son...

"It was not my desire to go off and serve in Vietnam, but nor did I take any actions to remove myself from the pool of young men who were eligible for the draft."

--Mitt Romney, 1994


"I longed in many respects to actually be in Vietnam and be representing our country there, and in some ways it was frustrating not to feel like I was there as part of the troops that were fighting in Vietnam."

--Mitt Romney, 2007

Fortunate Son
Recorded by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Written by John Fogerty

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no

Yeah!
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer More! More! More! yoh

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, one

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no no no
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son, no no no

14. President Obama's....

Grandfather on his mother's side, who helped raise him was a veteran of World War II.

Joe Biden's son was in Iraq.

Romney's family as far back as 12 generations have not been in military. None of his five strong healthy sons enlisted.

[johnnie]

17. Well, he has been the commander-in-chief for almost 4 years....

That trumps a uniform.

[treestar]

18. So is this idiot saying no one should be POTUS without having served in the military?

That lets Rmoney out too.

And the Constitution does not require it.

I've never been in the military and I'll be damned if I'm going to be considered a second class citizen forever because of it. That attitude is sickening.
