I hope the President doesn't say "Mission Accomplished."
There are many out there who would love to prove that statement wrong, as Junior found out, the hard way.

1. I can't imagine unless Obama has a series of strokes that he would ever utter...
Edited on Wed May-04-11 09:17 AM by Poll_Blind
...that phrase under any circumstance while a camera is rolling or a microphone is on, in a non-sarcastic way.

That and "Read my lips..." or (far less likely it would come up) "I did not have sexual relations with that woman."

10. The beauty of the thing is--I don't think he needs handlers to prevent him from doing so.
I find that reassuring.

13. As much as I disagree with some of President Obama's decisions, I am grateful that we...
...at least have a person in office who is capable of thinking.

George W Bush was the greatest embarrassment to America, to the concept of Representative Democracy.

3. I recommended and someone unrec'd

Anyway, no way is Obama boneheaded enough to say that phrase.

22. Least of all, me.
Just thought I would throw that out there to see what kind of reactionary comments I could muster. Obviously, President Obama is a lot smarter than most people on DU.

5. Maybe more of 'how to stretch out a mission' "to infinity and beyond" endless war.

7. He is too smart for that. He does need to chose his words carefully, though.
For we will be in Afghanistan for at least another 4-5 years, so this is in no way an end or a victory.

of war.

14. I assume you are joking by indicating that our President might even think that - much less say it.

16. i have yet to see him not be accomplished in addressing the nation. i see no reason to expect
anything less this time. i think a person can actually earn trust and respect, if there is a pattern there.

17. Why would he say that? Unlike Bush, President Obama
is a smart man.

23. I hope not too, but...
if he did, what a jab it would be at Bush, who never did accomplish any mission in eight years...

26. He made a somber statement at the White House.
Exactly the opposite of strutting about on an aircraft carrier while wearing a codpiece.
