Emperor’s Words: “On My Behalf”

Posted: May 9, 2012 by ShortTimer in Barack Obama, Elitism, US Military

Via the Weekly Standard:

Mr. Obama actually did bare his soul unintentionally today (perhaps the Biden disease is catching) with his astonishing characterization of American fighting men and women, whom he referred to as “those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf.”

Really? Most Americans thought they were fighting for the country, not on Barack Obama’s behalf.  Slip of the tongue, to be sure, but can one think of another president who’d have made it?  They are fighting under his command, under his orders, to be sure, but this particular locution is offensive and solipsistic.

Me, me, I, I.

Yes, those soldiers, airmen, sailors, Marines and Corpse-men are out there for you, Dear Leader.

Yup.  Not really news, just yet another confirmation of the arrogant, dictatorial, progressive-bubble leftist character we already know.
