President Obama Defends His Foreign Policy In West Point Speech - Live Webcast
The West Point Military Academy Commencement address short hand: "Enjoy it now... and don't retire or get injured..." As NYTimes notes, President Obama plans to use a speech at the West Point military academy on Wednesday to lay out a foreign policy vision for his final two-and-a-half years in office, defending his approach against a wave of criticism that he has been too passive on the world stage.
As NYTimes concludes,
The West Point speech comes just days before Mr. Obama heads overseas again, this time to Europe where his international leadership will be tested as he tries to pressure Russia to stop disrupting a new pro-European government in neighboring Ukraine. He will leave Washington on Monday night headed for Warsaw, where he will reassure Poles and other Eastern Europeans that the United States will stand by its NATO allies against any potential Russian aggression.
From there, he will head to Brussels to meet with other leaders of the major industrial powers known as the Group of 7 for its first annual summit meeting since suspending Russia, which was to have host the gathering. Mr. Obama has strained to coordinate the American response to Moscow’s intervention in Ukraine with European allies who have been more reluctant to take action that could jeopardize their economic ties with Russia.
Mr. Obama will end his trip in Normandy, France, to mark the 70th anniversary of the D-Day invasion, which turned the tide in World War II. That may be the most awkward stop because among the leaders planning to attend is President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia.

"Well, I spent too much on booze, hookers, blow and hard liquor. Everyones fucked. Sorry 'bout that."
DOUCHE
The plan is to suck dick as much as possible and get fucked up the ass as often as some third world 'leader' wants.
For the sins of our fathers....
Obama is now confirmed as the puppet, as his wife is now responsible for signing bills into law, at least according to CNN - http://www.dailypaul.com/319697/cnn-thinks-michelle-obama-can-sign-bills-into-law
Must be time to kill more brown people. Or maybe, to branch out and embrace the diversity of killing white and yellow people too!
Meaanwhile, as drone continue to kill innocents in the name of uh.. we ah... hmmm.... the importance of this cannot be imagined... Bush's fault....
http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/nfl-commissioner-white-house-talk-co...
Has he caught that insolent rodeo clown yet? Answer NO!
CNN is so brain-dead.
Those teleprompters never looked so prominent...and the speech...so flat and passionless. He must know Michelle is going to half his ass come Jan. 2017.
Obama has been half-assed for a long time already. At best.
Such a dip-shit, yet he looks in the mirror and sees hot shit. What a dangerously quixotic buffoon.
Of all the places in the world that this guy can't stand being in, West Point has to be near the top of the list.
I don't know. The audience has many AA and EO hires, just like himself.
Why do you think they have been purging the military?
You know what lie really bugs me? That D-Day turned the tide in WWII. By June 1944, the Germans had already lost, because the Russians were grinding them up on the Eastern Front. If the D-Day invasion fleet had sunk to the bottom of the Channel, WWII still would have ended in 1945.
Obama's foreign policy experience consists of swapping man-chowder with his twinky Pakistani roommate in college.

Never mind what his papa, Frank Marshall Davis got himself up to.... Rumor goes not only did he author 'Sex Rebel: Black', some of the stories may have involved a certain... Stanley Ann Dunham.
I look forward to observing the widespread feigned shock in DC when the 'news' comes out that - who knew - Davis wasn't just Obama's father-figure, he was Obama's bio father.
A five minute internet search will yield pornographic pictures of Stanley Ann Dunham.
More vacuous gum flapping from the corrupt disgusting arrogant narcissistic illegal indonesian kenyan alien sociopathic ignoramus liar in chief....
...Todays theme..."How, I, as Leader of the Free World, instead of following thru w/ my Hope and Change Platform, otherwise concentrated on my Golf Game.... and my $100 million dollar Presidential Library in Chicago, will be converted into my Personal Retirement Residence."
How brutal. Consider the grads at West Point and the irony is that their ultimate reward is to have to listen to this guy demonstrate that all that leadership and accountability training they've learned over the last 4 years is all bullshit in that they can be "all that they can be" and still have to answer to a political hack with no substance.
They've been conditioning WP cadets for decades, women were first allowed admittance in the mid 1970's. They likely can't even see it, or through fear(mental suppression), will not publicly admit it. You can rest assured the women and minority grads only see him as a messiah.
True leaders don't defend their policies. Instead just do what needs to be done.
Too passive? What has he changed in the last 6 years from the bloodthirsty Neocons that came before him?
Absolutely nothing.
Perhaps the batteries in TOTUS.
Bay of Pigs, if you dont know what Big words mean dont use them. From Wikipedia
The term "neoconservative" refers to those who made the ideological journey from the anti-Stalinist left to the camp of American conservatism.[2] Neoconservatives frequently advocate the "assertive" promotion of democracy and promotion of "American national interest" in international affairs including by means of military force.[3][4] The movement had its intellectual roots in the Jewish[5] monthly review magazine Commentary.[6][7] C. Bradley Thompson, a professor at Clemson University, claims that most influential neoconservatives refer explicitly to the theoretical ideas in the philosophy of Leo Strauss (1899–1973).[8]
Obozo is neither conservative, nor promotes american national interest. Rather he is to be kind an Communist that promotes a one world agenda by destroying America.
A true Neo-con would have bombed Syria consequenes be damned, would have bombed Iran, would have never pissed off the Saudi's and Israel, would never let Benghazi happen, or the Islamic Spring occur. Not saying that any of those positions would have been correct, but Obozo is hardly a Neo-con.
Fuck off with that crap. His foreign policy is identical to Bush's. They are rooted in the Neocon/Zionist/NWO playbook.
Call him whatever you want. A fascist isnt a bad description either.
No.
obama taking the opportunity for a campaign speech.....
What's he running for now? He should be running for his life but he's just trying to jack up his future speaking fees. You know, shifting into the "retired statesman" role.
Lay out his vision for his final 2.5 years....... In a nutshell....moar chaos.
only you raycisststtsttstsistsistss don't realize it is Recovery Summer FIVE!
YOU JUST NAILED IT!!
WOW.
And then zombie Hillary takes over.
You know, I think I'll do my November 2016 ammunition buy now.
"Couldn't be stronger to the rest of the World"
Did you spot this one you cock sucking motherfucker!
http://xrepublic.tv/node/9130
defends what foreign policy? agreeing to getting kicked in the nuts by putin every 3 weeks?
The one thing that I thought would take and turn some neoconservatives around would be how Obama has unilaterally launched American troops into more foreign conflicts than Bush did and has openly been arming the groups that American troops are supposedly fighting against. I thought that might make the average neoconservative, not the ones in power, see the folly of intervening into every other countries' affairs. Instead, I hear average citizen neocons as saying Obama's stance on foeign policy as not being tough enough.
Same as it ever was...
Or as Jen Psaki would describe it, "he really smashed him in the knee with his balls!"
Listen to that half hearted golf clap. This guy disgusts them.
" That may be the most awkward stop because among the leaders planning to attend is President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia."
Please Vlad, do us all a huge solid & knock this cock sucking prick the Fuck out!
It's good that we stopping putting human resources in the background of these long winded speeched. Double plus good. It is not for a soldier to question, but to act. That is why they have the Neuremburg defense.
I guarantee the claps are mostly from Affirmative Action and Equal Oppurtunity appointees.
LOL. Just fucking wow. Who writes this shit anyway?
Sounds like a skit on SNL.

Live Webcasts, actually webcasts of any nature, by traitor Obama should not be linked on ZH. Plus we are all very very tired of his smarmy presence.
Travesty.
Not sure I'd even show up if I was a Cadet there. I can just imagine the disdain they have for this.. O-hole.
I'd be curious the number of times he says "I", "me", etc during the speech. Talk about a deluded self-centered arrogant jerk.
Maybe O should try speaking in the third person.. ala Karl Malone
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xpujqy_karl-malone-on-aliens_fun
I'd bet they were threatened. No show, no commission/diploma. Or, at least, reprimand on their professional, not student, record.
"... Defends His Foreign Policy..."
I think the point could be made that it was Bush's or Clinton's, or Bush's or Who do you think?
HE didn't think it up, He was INSTRUCTED what his policy would be. I think would be more to the truth.
How else can you explain the ExtraOrdinary consistency from admin to the next?
Here is Bill Hicks explain it to you.

"Let me make this perfectly clear. We will continue to support, arm, fund & train the exact same terror organizations we claim to protect The American People from."
-Barry Sortero AKA Barak Hussain Obama
"... and guarantee loans for bankrupt kleptocracies such as Tunisia, Jordan, Egypt and Ukraine."
OPM (Other People's Money), bItCHeZ!
Speaking of Jordan, why not turn that country into an independent Palestine? Most of the people there are palestinian and ruled by a minority monarchy US-puppet regime. The Hashemite monarchy is a joke. One of their "kings" married some American blonde a few decades ago. I guess she was "queen". The Gaza Strip is just a desert shithole with no resources. Of course, that would mean a loss of a military staging location for the US.
"Being a CIA tool, I just wanted to come here and say, 'You're mine bitches'."
The Elite OWN ALL. They OWN Him. They will have the wars that they profit from so nicely. They will grow the system that finances it all well beyond where it is now. It will continue as it has.
Now he's speaking about war as 'our greatest folly'. The long term planners are laughing in your faces people.
re ..war is 'our greatest folly'
He speaks the truth for once...
Since this "administration" prides itself on its follies - just substitute "accomplishment" for "folly" - it's really a boast.
re Obama Defends His Foreign Policy at West Point
"My real name is oBOMBa... thank you for being willing dupes... and have a nice day"
Panderer in Chief!

The Chinese must be ecstatic. Seriously.
AFGHAN MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
(Btw, we're going into Syria, Lebanon etc etc...)
if he didnt have a expiration date . hed have a date with expiration, imho
Mr. Greenwald speculated that they might try to elect a gay president after Hillary. In a deeply subjective opinion one might venture to say Mr. Greenald is erring.
USA has one at the moment - Mr. O 'Leaned Forward' (TM) and grabbed his ankels and Mr. Putin had his way with him.
P.S.: Do you think one could sell this imagery to OFA for their 'Lean Forward' (TM) slogan? Or should one contact MSN?
Reggie Love can confirm that fact.
Obomber is divorced from reality. Train a network ofpartners. OBL had a point - we are the great satan
Foreign policy? Take a walk on the wild side. He's got a policy?
It's called Vinnie the Pooh foreign policy. This is not a joke.
Climate change.... He's on a roll now.
"Our military should now take on the War Against Warming! The DHS will secure our Freedomz!"
This fudgepacker is gonna look down his nose at us one too many times, and find out what the phrase "et tu, brute" means, in a very real way. A living, breathing piece of shit.
I wasn't aware that he had a foreign policy... or any other type of policy for that matter - except to blame Bush for his numerous and continuing failures...
John Stewart should give the potus speeches.
Shift to the left, shift to the right. Stand up, sit down, fight, fight, fight.
West Point anti terrorism center, run by an Israeli who is expert in right wing extremists.
That means you, NRA bitchez.
That part of the speech was obviously redacted.
"I will continue to push the closing of Gitmo because our values do not permit the indefinite detention of people who live beyond our borders."
Now there is an interesting statement. We can't detain people who live beyond our borders indefinitely.... American citizens on the other hand........
Guantánamo, the world's most controversial prison, since 2002, where according to Wikileaks “innocent people are interrogated for years on slimmest pretexts, where “children, elderly and mentally ill among those wrongfully held,” where "172 (now 154) prisoners remain, some with no prospect of trial or release…where “prisoners were flown to the Guantánamo cages..to remain outside the protection of the US courts or the prisoner-of-war provisions of the Geneva conventions"…
…many being kept alive by force feeding that results in great pain and suffering…
..the silent scream that Obama ignores…impeding its closure… a closure Robert Gates said in 2011 that’s unlikely, due to opposition in the Congress...
U.S. military allowed to force feed hunger-striking Guantanamo Bay prisoner on brink of death, judge rules | National Post

"Lawyers for Dhiab are challenging force feeding during the hunger strike as abusive.
"The Defense Department has said the military only feeds prisoners against their will to keep them alive, and follows all laws when it does so..."
The judge rules for the "defense."

"On his 85th Birthday today, President Back Door called for the Closure of Guantanamo."
Just pass a law that the top 1000 wealthy in the US must have their children in front line battle positions in any conflict.
Good start.....let's crank it up a notch and mandate that any conflict will require 50% of the congress to deploy to, and work from, combat areas until the conflict is over. That's right, let them pitch their tents right next to Bravo Company, go on patrol as designated water-toters or something, ride along with supply convoys through IED-land, etc. No substitutions, deferals, or exceptions congressman....get yer ass on that cargo plane/ship.
Such a common-sense mandate would practically ensure the end of recreational profit-wars, eh? Watch the blinding speed with which those slime-slurpers on Capitol Dunghill reclaim their authority over the 'declaration of war' principle.
somebody please............. throw a shoe
that was my first thought too
wonder if any of those West point bytches
has balls enough to throw a shoe
at the meat puppet president...
We're strengthened by individual strength.
Now turn in yer gunz, bitchez.
Or we're gonna drone yer ass.
Least applause ever from his new employees.
So THAT's what applause sounds like, he must be thinking (re the applause that Gavin got).
Eat MOAR shit Americans!
Look at all of the smartly dressed brainwashed drones willing to accept orders like robots and die at the whim of the planners so that profits can be made and our fellow humans around the world can be repressed and destroyed.
Very proud moment.
...defending his approach against a wave of criticism that he has been too passive on the world stage.
Who says Obama has been too passive on the world stage? Who says that he needs to kill more innocent villagers? Who says that he needs to push NATO to occupy and take over more sovereign nations?
Answer: The New York Times which now hopes that the tough talk at West Point will materialize to make the world safe for its new world order.
When Bill Clinton was elected president, Hillary bragged that she would be so powerful that you actually got two for one for president. Apparently, Michelle is feeling the heat as she tries to give the Obamas double whammy impact.
While Barack makes war in Ukraine, Michelle makes war at home with her latest suggestions for thought control.
Here’s Michelle, the government, speaking to graduating high school students from five area high schools at the Topeka, Kan. Senior Recognition Day on May 16 on the landmark Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision, urging high schoolers to monitor their families' politically incorrect thoughts:“Maybe that starts simply in your own family, when grandpa tells that off-colored joke at Thanksgiving, or you’ve got an aunt talks about ‘those people’. Well, you can politely inform them that they’re talking about your friends,” Obama continued. “Because this issue is so sensitive, is so complicated, so bound up with a painful history. And we need your generation to help us break through. We need all of you to ask the hard questions and have the honest conversations, because that is the only way we will heal the wounds of the past and move forward to a better future.”
Cheryl Chumley, a reporter for The Washington Times and the author of “Police State USA,” believes the first lady’s remarks as an overreach, and a way to attack people for politically incorrect thinking. “Michelle Obama’s push for kids around the nation to monitor their family members for perceived racist comments is just another way the government seeks to inject itself into an area it doesn’t really belong — the American home,” she told The Daily Caller.

"Operation Overlord." Been true since Day One.
Putin's response for his plans for the defense of Moscow should be instructive as well.
All I have to say is Von Monstein was never a Nazi (in fact the Nazi's hated him.). Talk about being promoted on merit.
Even Winston Churchill needed him...and of course he was ready for that when the time came as well. "Straight from prison to creating the Germany you see today."
Some graduation, more like a punishment. Listening to a guy who does not know which end of the firearm to look into speaking about himself again. I feel sorry for them.
But a guy who knows on which side his bread is buttered and who buttered it.
"Lloyd, how'd you like my speech?"
"OK, but, hey, I wrote it!"
"I'm strong, not weak" translation: Somebody, somewhere is fixing to get their ass put in harms way for bath house Barry's ego. It's on the line. Duck and cover guys.
Either that or become one of the poor guys who gets stuck in the rain holding an umbrella over an asshole.
Hey Mr. President those cadets love you!... Tell them what they will be looking forwards to as the instrument of death to the rest of the World?!!!
Just look at how The rest of the World loves "us" knowing how indispensible and "exceptional" America is to them???
But, but, but, Moochelle is proud of us now. She can be the "big man's wife" like in the old country and have lots of servants.
So... is this a bad time to talk about Obama's government mass murdering military veterans? Are today's graduates future government victims? My take: Murder by Numbers http://thebullelephant.com/murder-numbers/
TY for link. +1 Keep up the good work.
2 and a half more years. Oh my God. Tell me it is not true.
I find it amusing that people think Obama will leave the Presidency voluntarily. You people really don't get it yet, do you?
Bitter clingers
Mr. President, you can shove that fake shit-eating grin up your ass.
What a Shitbag.
There really sad and disturbing part of this whole Obamadisaster is that these cadets are going to serve under an illegal Commander and Chief, a "man" with no allegiance or attachment to America. Obama is not a natural born Citizen, eligible to be POTUS (ONE BORN FREE OF ALL FOREIGN ALLEGIANCE. I.E BORN IN THE US OF 2 US CITIZEN PARENTS--OR A SINGLE US CITIZEN MOTHER), since he was born British, of a British subject father.
Young men are dying under the "leadership" of an illegal commander, and dying in many more numbers than under Bush, yet Obama is given a pass by the useful idiot media. Add that to the number of innocent women and children killed in drone strikes, and one realizes that these cadets are listening to a mass murderer, and that the "media" are accessories.
Not active enough? What a fantastically absurd criticism. Just who is saying that I wonder...
I think we'd all be safer if he laid on the couch and did nothing for the next two years.
Do these students forced to attend get credit for a class? Call it Creative Fictional Writing 101.
What foreign policy?
They don't tell him anything.
"Plausible deniability".
He's just there because he looks good in a suit, and he makes good speeches.
THE MEDIA IS TO BLAME... OH, AND GEORGE SOROS ET AL.
at least obama didn't advocate pre-emptive warfare as did bush during the 2002 usma graduation:
