Okay, trying here: He is sending 30,00 troops. He said he wants them out by July 2011. He said Afghanistan must do more, and take over their security. He said Pakistan has done a lot to help us.
Basically, he just gave our enemies a time line where they can lay low, and wait us out. I cannot really say more, as I has to shut off the TV

And I HATE his stupid fake accent every time he says “PAH-kee-stahn” and “TAHL-e-bahn.” What a poser.
And I’m tired of hearing the “worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.” He’s an idiot with no knowledge of history. He doesn’t even know about the Carter years.
Or maybe he does, and he’ll just repeat the lie until it’s accepted as truth — or until he manages to make it happen.

Other than that, he is a military genius.
And I need a drink.
I just invented a drinking game that makes watching his speech almost enjoyable.
Every time he says "Paaaaakeestan", I take a drink.
At this rate, I should pass out before this speech is over.

He hasn’t forgotten. He just expect us to forget. I truly hate his using those fine West Point cadets and officers as a photo op to give him credibility and some sort of twisted gravitas. He doesn’t understand or respect who they are and what they do

The look on their faces tells the story. Obama has just sunk lower with this speech. What a POS.

I am getting sick. Truly, seriously, sick at hearing what this man has to say.
I hadn't planned on drinking, but this calls for a bender.
Paakistan, Taaliban, yet he still pronounces Afghanistan as we all do. Where's his middle east pronunciation of that? As they say there...Aaf-ghhan-ee-staan. (With a guttural "G").
Good lord, we are all verily screwed by this man. He hates us, he bows to everyone else, and he is spending like a fool to provide for social programs, while screwing the military budget.
I am...well, tongue tied. I am speechless from my anger. ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!

About Obama's accent (he should know better) :
Taliban is spelled (was written in Arabic here) which equates to "T-L-B-A-N". Written vowels are pronounced longer, unwritten vowels are pronounced shorter. There's no "I", so it's pronounced short like "it" or "hit", not "eat" or "heat"
