That's pretty much it. The "man" is almost pronounced "mn"--the vowel sound is barely uttered.

Forgot about that, sorry. My bad. But, but... he has no experience going into a real combat because according to ANG, he did not have a sufficient training experience. He was just a pilot and has not ranked into "elite" rankings.

OMG me too and I dated a Navy Corpsman, oh.. the embarrassment ((blushes))

The English language is evil, I place too much trust in the written language.

At least Bush understood the military system, pay grades (ranks, rates, and ratings), and terminology.
 
Yeah, don't forget "Tortilla"... apparently we don't say the L's O_O

Oh the betrayal!
 
Reba, I read about that and I am glad I did not vote for that man. He associates himself with leftists, radicalists, and socialists. Something JFK would never have done.

Not only that is further confirmation of what an embarrassment we have as the new U.S. President and CinC who does not know how to pronounce " Corpsman Up "

Seriously Reba.... Do you ACTUALLY expect the press to fret over him mispronouncing a word?

This is the very reason I don't even have Cable TV/Satelite TV - because of stupid shit like this constantly. I want to see something of such substance and I have to weed through the stupidest of the stupid to see something.

Stop with the trivial stuff.

He aligin himself with left-centrists. Radicals tend to be right-winged; it's the revolutionaries that you are thinking of being left-winged, and radicalist is not even a word; socialists, anarchists, libertarians, Marxists and Communists shunned Obama for being too "right-winged."

No, I don't expect the press to be as critical of Obama as they were of Bush.

If you believe this is "trivial stuff" why do you bother to read it and comment upon it?
 
Oh give the Pres. a break, a little socialism never hurt ........... well I can't think of anyone now, but Pres. Barrak can figure it out and tell us what is best for us.

Agreed. :gpost:

Obama isn't socialist to me, even he isn't closer as Chavez does, that is really totally different situation.

That why I said about teabaggers are just ignorant.

This is trivial stuff. What I care about is to just inform the general public to focus on other things than trivial stuff. This will bring ratings on the trivial stuff down (who cares about someone like Jenna Jameson getting her tits removed) and educated stuff up.
 
This thread isn't about whether or not Obama is a socialist.
