    Ohhhh... here we go.... Now you're going to tell me that LBJ came up with the concept of airmobility as a get-rich scheme?

    He did take off and land on time.... precisely when the President needed him to.

    Do you also hold such beliefs when it comes to Governors?

    Obama is notorious for being late.

    Democrats can try to snow me if they wish, but they can't claim he is prompt.

    Governors aren't the Commander-in-Chief.

    Promptness is something you expect from Junior Officers. Generals are always on time.

    Governors are as much a commander in chief over his state as is a president. Matter of fact, governors actually govern some very large areas. Presidents manage their workers.

    It is interesting how Democrats excuse lousy skills and lousy punctuality all because they think the president is the enlightened one.

    Take Hillary, for instance She may think she is the CIC right now. She is ripped by CNN as being late all the time.

    How many Governors have a secured satellite connection to the National Military Command Center?

    I'm not excusing anything... what everything I've said in this thread applies to any President - Democrat or Republican - past, present or future. If you want to go and attack Obama, there are plenty of ways you can do it than by attacking his punctuality record *L* I mean come on.... that's about as petty as it gets. What's going to be next? You don't like his aftershave?

    Tell you what - look down at the Law & Justice area of this forum for a thread called "Obama's Greatest Laws" if you want to get in an actual debate about something worth debating.

    State Governors are also the Commander in Chief of their state National Guard.

    When democrat presidents use the plane = bad and wasteful. When idiot Bush used the plane to go cut some brush = appropriate use of government resources. What a simple minded, partisan thread.

    I was just thinking, Sarah Palin had a higher approval rating CnC of the Alaska National Guard than Obama ever had as CnC of our armed forces.

    When Gov. Palin flew to the Middle East to inspect her troops, the troops weren't disarmed in fear they would shoot their CnC.

    Where ever Obama goes the troops are disarmed be it in Iraq, Afghanistan, a military base in the CONUS or at a Presidential Inaugural Parade. :roflol: -> http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiep...armed-marines-for-inaguration-parade-n1509511

    Since I served in the Army, where I handled papers given for Article 15s, and had the UCMJ book at my desk all the time, I know how that worked. But to make sure, I did more research.

    Bush served all his time and did it on time.

    His Guard unit is why he got discharge papers following military proceedure.

    Now if you want to discuss how Bill Clinton fled the country to England and sent to an Officer a letter that he did not plan to comply with law, we can sure do that.

    We would discuss the military of Obama except he never served.

    We could discuss how good a lawyer he is, oops, he did not do that either.

    Idiot Bush.

    You really are trying to defend Sara Palin. Quote me some more Alaska National Guard stats because people really give a crap about that.

    I don't need to defend Palin, the polling of the troops says it all.

    Every year "Military Times" polls the troops on approval of the sitting President approval rating as POTUS and as Commander in Chief. Post WW ll Presidents Ronald Reagan had the highest approval rating by the troops as CnC. Before Obama Jimmy Carter had the lowest approval rating at his job as CnC. G.W. Bush always remained in the 70% to just above 50% approval rating but did fall to 48% just before the surge in Iraq.

    Obama started out at 35% approval rating around Jimmy Carter's rating but it's been down hill ever since.

    Obama's approval rating as CnC has gone so low, probably in the single digits that last year Military Times wouldn't release their numbers for 2015. They likely got a call from Valerie Jarrett if they release the polling numbers they would be cut off from access to the military.

    You have been getting a taste of the 60's during the past eight years.

    The Democrats are still stuck in the counter culture movement during the 20th Century.
