JP sends us this picture from Obama For America in which “Jocelyn” who says she’s a veteran and she’s voting for Obama because he keeps his promises.
The picture sits atop this caption
Jocelyn knows President Barack Obama is looking out for veterans and their families—join Veterans for Obama today.
As JP said, I thought there was still a war going on and some of our troops are still in it, but I guess because Jocelyn isn’t there, it doesn’t matter.
Obama also promised that he was going fight the Taliban with all of the resources available to the most powerful president in the world, but he only half-assed staffed the surge, greatly undermanned in the estimation of his generals and the CIA.
Obama also promised to close Guantanamo, how’s that working out, Jocelyn? He promised veterans that he wouldn’t balance the national budget on the backs of veterans while his Secretary of Defense was planning to do just that. The president and his Secretary of Veterans’ Affairs promised to straighten out the DVA, but the list of veterans waiting for disability has doubled. Can we talk about how the VA couldn’t pay veterans’ education benefits that Obama voted for as a Senator in a timely manner? How about how the first thing Obama tried to do to veterans was to make us buy health insurance to pay for our service-connected injuries. And who can forget that the Obama Homeland Security Department labeled veterans as a dangerous threat to our national security.
But, yeah, he’s man of Bush’s word to withdraw from Iraq on time – but only because he couldn’t send competent people to negotiate with Iraqis to allow us to stay. And Iraq is being torn apart by violence in our wake undoing everything the troops did during the 2006 surge. So, yeah, vote for him again, Jocelyn, because you don’t have to deploy to Iraq, if you ever did.

What was his promise that he kept on the deficit…wasn’t it to cut it in half by the end of his first term……how’s that working out? Afghanistan is much more secure now…since the Taliban has infiltrated the ANA and shooting up Americans….how’s that working out for the country….Oh well, I’m glad he’s a man of his word!
Last post was sarcasm if you didn’t detect it.
How about 500K jobs from clean energy? Can anyone remember Solyndra, because the LSM seems to have forgotten it.
I decided to fix that for her.

Well done, JP!
You are all sexist…its because Obama is a man isn’t it!
Where is insipid?
OH GOD MY INCOHERENT RAGE.
Its because he produces a little more pigment than some of us but less than Bobby Jindal and Herman Cain! Is that “code word”? I don’t know, I like both Jindal and Cain and they both have more pigment than obama…Im confused is that code word racist? Where is insipid to explain it to me?
Let’s see if “Jocelyn” is even a vetern. I’m willing to bet she’s a black female (2x the entitlements & victim groups) actress just reading the script or posing for the picture.
I Obeyme told me, to my face, that the sun rises in the east, I’d have to step outside to verify. I don’t believe a word that falls from his mouth or from his suck-up sycophants.
Sorry, #9 is me. I forgot I’m on the library computer instead of at home.
Hmmm, he keeps his promises? Oh boy…the Pied Piper can’t fix stupid, can he?
Does Jocelyn know that The Pied Piper’s administration wants to cut her benefits? Does she know how many times he lied to the American people and dissed his military? Meh. I’m betting not so much.
We also still have Troops in harm’s way in Iraq – but shhhhhhhhhhhh! He brought the Troops home. Yeah, riiiiiiiiight…
Well, what about the USN ships deployed to the Persian Gulf? And the other group deployed to the Yellow Sea? Or was it the Sea of Japan? It’s near China I guess those people don’t count because they’re on ships, not ground troops, right?
WOW! The obvious is not obvious enough for good ole’ glory seekin’ Jocelyn! Nice work Josie…next time get a degree from a better college who doesn’t just take your GI Bill and give you a C-.
She must of been asleep the past 3 yrs and change.
That last comment was a bit callous even for me… Shouldn’t jump to conclusions or make assumptions even in good company. Much like typical liberals do.
Kilo, you obviously have no sense of sarcasm.
Anyone else notice it doesn’t actually say “US Army veteran”? Hmmmm…
If this is an add thats supposed to be promoting veterans for Obama don’t you think she should be wearing a…oh I don’t know, US Army (or any branch of the US military for that matter) hat? Nothing inherently wrong with Delta Sigma Theta but it seems to be mixing your special interest/target audiences in a way that not only irritates me but seems somewhat pathetic. (i.e. they could not find someone who is proud enough about being a veteran that they would broadcast that on their hat first as oppose to another special group)
I meant mine Blake! Your comment was fine you just posted whilst I was posting. My apologies for the confusion.
She was one of those “prearranged for” veteran’s much like the three out in Oregon were that Obama “happened upon” in a restaurant….
I don’t care what hat she wears. She’s still misinformed and outspoken… Typical Obama supporter. Way to break the stereotype.
Find any ads from this group that DOESN’T feature a minority?
Kilo, It’s okay.
I love the Greek Letter hat!
Historically Black College.
Be curious to see her FOIA. NG or Resreve. Your pick.
If AD, AF or Army CSS.
Green Thumb what do you have against NG and Reserves? I do believe that CSM Theresa King was 30 years AD. Shitbags are all over the place. Hell I don’t want to start a NG/AD fight but hell do we have to do this again? For fucks sake.
They’re out there, i.e. Vets who served honorably and support Democrats. They’re in the minority, but you can find them (no pun intended).
I think it’s something like 60% Romney, 34% Obama. A stat I find interesting is that a higher percentage support Romney than the pct. who supported McCain back in 2008, even though McCain served.
Well… Obama did promise to raise energy costs, and he’s been working tirelessly on that. And let’s not forget that he not only took his wife out on a date, but he also let his kids have a dog.
Clearly, the President is a man of his word.
Can we harp on the unemployment rate remaining at 8.2%?
And the current discussion underway in financial circles that we’re about to go over a financial cliff?
I didn’t vote for that clown the first time around, and I sure as hell won’t vote for him this time, either.
@25 JPJ.
Not picking a fight; making an observation.
What is you pick?
“your”
In the Marine Corps, we used to give people like Jocelyn a rock and tell them, “here’s your ID card.” Frankly, hers would be a boulder.
Why are there thousands of troops in Kuwait? Shell game? Oh that’s the ticket… Sadaam Husseins heirs are going to invade again?
Ex PH2, the unemployment rate is much closer to 15% than 8%. “The U6 unemployment rate counts not only people without work seeking full-time employment (the more familiar U-3 rate), but also counts “marginally attached workers and those working part-time for economic reasons.”
In June of 2012, that rate was 14.9%, in May it was 14.8%.
Only Iraq counts as “war” for left/libtards… Asscrackistan is just subcontracted out to mercenaries or something, we can eliminate the defense budget for a “peace dividend” to fund more social programs now.
It kinda reminds me about the piece that Howard Stern did in 2008. He went around asking people their opinions about Obama. The kicker is he used McCain’s stances in place of Obama’s. The last question he asked was what they thought of Obama’s running mate Sarah Palin. Almost all of them expressed approval. It is scary how uniformed our voters are.
@UpNorth, I know the actual unemployment rate is higher, I just used the rate (8.2%) commonly used in the media, which does not include people who have given up looking.
Green Thumb sounds like you are making a pretty stupid observation without any evidence to support your conclusion.
