Video: Obama Earns Icy Reception At West
Point

The president was given what has
been described as an "icy reception" before,
during and after his speech in front of cadets at their graduation ceremony at
the US Military Academy at West Point,
Wednesday, causing some to question the wisdom of giving a defensive,
self-serving, partisan speech at a military venue.
On Fox News' Special Report, Charles Krauthammer
said, “I think the speech was
literally pointless — it didn’t have a point, it was a defensive speech,” he
said. “It was an answer to the chorus of criticism, even from his side of the
aisle, that it has been a weak, leaderless, rudderless foreign policy, which it
has been.”
And he went on to note, “there was
no response from any of the cadets — it was quiet as a mouse.”
But their icy reaction appeared to
be about more than just the content of Obama's
vapid, deceptive, delusional
speech.
Upon his introduction, he received
only a light smattering of applause with an aborted attempt at standing O by a
small handful in the audience. In the video below, no cadets can be seen coming
to their feet.
That is what the military thinks
of a president who abandons a Marine
held in a Mexican prison for taking a wrong turn, neglects the VA, shuts out veterans from national memorials during shut-down theater, forces suicidal RoE,
lies about Benghazi, takes full credit for killing
Osama Bin Laden after preparing to blame the military if anything went wrong,
and then leaks information that leads to Navy Seal
deaths, and then sends their parents
form-letter condolence notes signed with an auto-pen.
In contrast, look how West Point
Cadets greeted President Bush during his final visit to the academy in December
of 2008 - arguably at the lowest ebb of his presidency.
