To Boldly Go Where Obama Won’t (Not Without His Entourage!)

I doubt that even Karl Rove could have planned this set of circumstances! She certainly was not running for veep then.

    EFF RBB I am sick and tired of his meaningless, pointless posts. As a Republican I am charged up, heck I am giddy about this selection. I mean seriously, think about it, NOBAMA has a thin resume and a long list of questions characters and morons in his past. We can’t even ask NOBAMA about his paster, friends and there is no paper trail. This person is exciting.

    Sure looks like the photo’s came from the military to me.

    Besides, if you are THAT concerned about this being a phto-op or not, why not just email them and ask?

    Sorry, but I see your complaint about this is projection, or more likely ‘protection’ of Obama’s blatant attempt at a photo-op with troops that wasn’t allowed (he was expected and they had military photographer there ready – he declined because he couldn’t bring in his own circus).

    By the way, which was it?

    I heard a couple of versions about this on and from Obama. Did he not have the time to go (but had time to go workout) or was Obama refused by a trick from McCain pulling strings, or was it Obama just couldn’t bring his entourage and press with him to make a circus out of him showing respect for wounded soldiers and visiting them?

    Again, Obama was expected and the military was ready for him, military photographers were on hand – but since Obama could not get his way with how he wanted his visit to go, he decided to cancel and go workout instead.

    Does that about sum it up correctly, or is there another version I am not aware of?

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/readers/author/realitybasedbob/ realitybasedbob

    Someone had to take and publish that photo.
    If it wasn’t one of Palin’s entourage, whose was it?

    Capt. Beau Biden is being deployed soon too.

  • sayanything-2407

    Neither.

    I looked at the link RBB provided as evidence of a photo-op, and then actualy went to the site (not just take google as face evidence) and looked through the site.

  • sayanything-2407

    Probably the same type of military photographers that were offered to Obama.

  • RebTex

    I could see the spark in her eyes as she talked with the Soldiers.
    I would suggest that she went out of gratitude & not obligation.

  • Hannitized

    This is fricking hilarious!! Sarah pho op’s all over the wounded troops and Gutshooter kittly lover tells us how morally superior she is for taking photo’s all over the place while criticizing Obama because he can’t visit them without having pictures taken, even though he knew he couldn’t from the begining?

    Too f-ing funny.

  • robert108

    The term “photo op” is most generally used to describe an even that is nothing more than an opportunity to take photos, rather than having actual content.

  • Hannitized

    What part of “has acquired” don’t you understand?

    I never argued that it hasn’t acquired anything or not. Show me where I argued against it.

    What pathetically weak minded moron thinks you have to have a “stage” for something to be “staged”. Yet another English word that the Kahuna of the Kiddie Pool is unable to decipher for himself!

    What weak minded children refuses to understand how quotes are used? I didn’t mean a “literal” stage, instead I suggested a backdrop that is set up with props “like equipment to make it look like things are being done when in fact nothing is being done, or to make a scene look like more is occurring than in reality”.

    That is the difference between a “staged” event vs. a carefully planned event where the sincerity is missing from the action for sake of the photo op.

    Poor Sarah’s lack of sincerity is obvious with the fact that she took photo’s of every thing she carefully planned in advance. How phony can you get???

  • Hannitized

    Thanks for admitting they are not usually staged events Robert.

    Republicans scramble to redefine words, to suit their political interest.

    Too funny.

  • pparets

    puzzlefeet: So Sen. Obama has the conviction and courage to drive over to Walter Reed on his lunch hour? Hahahahaha!

  • Hannitized

    For the mind-numbingly stupid, such as Poofy and Robert. THIS is what a real “staged” photo op requires. PROPS…and a “stage” or background that is prepared for the photo.

    In a press release issued Saturday, September 3rd, 2005, Democratic Senator Mary L. Landrieu of Louisiana claims that President Bush staged a photo opportunity, at the breached 17th Street levee, by having equipment quickly moved into the background during the event. Senator Landrieu says the equipment was dispersed elsewhere the next day, but did not provide details.

    Landrieu says in her press release, ” … we witnessed a hastily prepared stage set for a Presidential photo opportunity; and the desperately needed resources we saw were this morning reduced to a single, lonely piece of equipment. The good and decent people of southeast Louisiana and the Gulf Coast — black and white, rich and poor, young and old — deserve far better from their national government …”

  • Puzzlefeet
  • Hannitized

    Yep, DoD does it all the time,regardless of Party affiliation,

    Who said anything about it being a partisan photo op? It was just a photo op.

    Why do you have the delusional idea that it is not a photo op, because the DOD took the pictures??

    A photo op (sometimes written as photo opp), short for photograph opportunity (photo opportunity), originally referred to an opportunity that resulted in a memorable and effective photograph of a politician, a celebrity, or a notable event. [1] Among amateur photographers, the term is used to refer to any opportunity to take good photos.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo_op

  • robert108

    Thanks for admitting they are not usually staged events Robert.

    You lie; I said nothing of the kind. They are generally staged to make a politician or other type of celebrity look good. The classic shots of politicians kissing babies is a prime example. If the cameras weren’t there, the behavior would be different, which is exactly what Obama did with his faux visit. It was a photo op, with no underlying substance.
    Obama wants us to lose to the terrorists. He thinks he can get them to love us if he’s nice to them, so he has no use for the military. Are you really too stupid to know that?

  • Hannitized

    So the wonder twins put their heads together and come up with a gem.

    Unfortunately, they had to ignore the very first paragraph of the source they referenced.

    A photo op (sometimes written as photo opp), short for photograph opportunity (photo opportunity), originally referred to an opportunity that resulted in a memorable and effective photograph of a politician, a celebrity, or a notable event. [1] Among amateur photographers, the term is used to refer to any opportunity to take good photos.

    So putting this aside, they think they make an argument by suggesting that a carefully planned event is the same as a “staged” event, complete with props vs. a carefully planned event that happens to be deceitful in its sincerity.

    Sarah’s visit could have been believable had she not has all of her actions photographed and logged for the history books. Such photo ops (see definition provided by Wiki) do her more harm than good.

  • http://magyartruth.blogspot.com/ Chief RZ

    This is an example of a truly honestly caring individual. She is a real person, but many will be unable to see it. Their eyes are blinded by their own personal ambitions and lost opportunities.

  • Hannitized

    Proof,

    Hey genius, can you please provide a link to where the definition of a photo op included the fact that they are usual “staged” events? No, you can’t, you won’t because you are lying.

    You can have a “staged” photo op, or you can have a photo op. I called it what it was, a photo op.

    I provide my link and facts, where are yours?

  • Hannitized

    Forgive me, Han-Job, for using the word “staged” instead of “carefully planned”.

    Yep, you did make a mistake. Why should I forgive you for the lie?

    A carefully planned event is exactly what Sarah had done. Look at all the places she had to plan to be. Luckily for her, she was able to get photos of all those planned photo op’s.

    Sheesh, you are quite possibly the worst offender at abusing the english language. You and Robert are the most idiot pair I have seen in years.

    Same place. I just have the ability to comprehend what I read! Heh.

    Hahahaha!

    That is the funniest thing I have ever seen! So you think the word planned vs. staged is the same thing? Too fucking hilarious.

    What any intelligent person knows, you moron, is that a stage means it is a fake event or a fake scene (like when Bush staged his bridge repair photo op). A planned even is real, it’s just is a damned photo op.

    How can you be so stupid? I didn’t think it was possible.

    Holy crap!

  • robert108

    Yep, you did make a mistake. Why should I forgive you for the lie?

    Your semantic nit-picking doesn’t change the fact that you were wrong. Proof didn’t lie, and neither did I. You lied, as usual, and now you’re trying, like a typical lying leftie, to wriggle out of it when you’ve been busted for your ignorance and dishonesty.

    No, it’s planned to get deceptive pictures; you really are stupid. It’s planned for photos, like Obama’s “event”, not for substance, like Sarah’s real visit.

  • 2Hotel9

    This is fricking hilarious!! Barri shit all over the wounded troops in Landstuhl by refusing to do a walk through because he could not bring his campaign publicity faggots with him. And Honolulu Cabbie is trying to claim that Barri is morally superior for shitting all over wounded troops. Too fucking funny.

  • http://proof-proofpositive.blogspot.com/ proof_positive

    Yep, you did make a mistake. Why should I forgive you for the lie?

    My mistake was in crediting you with the intelligence that God gave geese. I was apparently too generous. I did not lie, lying troll, but thanks for playing!

  • robert108

    THIS is what a real “staged” photo op requires. PROPS…and a “stage” or background that is prepared for the photo.

    No, it doesn’t. I’ll repeat: It’s an event intended to provide misleading photos, without any underlying substance or truth, like politicians kissing babies.

    If I were you, I wouldn’t use Mary Landrieu as a source of reliable information. She and Nagin were simply trying to wriggle out of the responsibility for the Katrina strategy, which was entirely their fault. One lying leftie uses another lying leftie as a source. Too funny!

  • Hannitized

    Care to make an argument Beardsley? Or are you only good for sideline ad hominem sniping?

    Never mind, I know the answer.

  • robert108

    I’m not lying.

  • 2Hotel9

    Now we see who is on the run. Too fricking funny.

  • Hannitized

    Pretty picture. Good thing she refused that photo op!

  • Hannitized

    Poofy,

    If it was only a few pictures at one location, you might have an argument. But since we know she took several pictures at several different location that she was clearly on a PR campaign.

    This reveals the lack of sincerity in her actions. I don’t go around having my good deeds photographed when I donate money to the military or attend their christmas balls parties where upon the donation made result in gifts for the servicemen and women.

  • Hannitized

    Beardesly lifts his head from the sand, only to realize the world around him has changed while he has been hiding.

    I have on several occasions admitted to error or being wrong. The problem for you is that you fail to understand that my opponents do the same, all day long. Yet I continue to throw challenges up for consideration or scorn.

    I personally think you are a being a coward in this instance. Congratulations to you and your freedom to choose cowardice.

  • http://www.dartemis.net/blog/ sayanything-42

    eunichized the beardless catamite asks:

    Care to make an argument? Or are you only good for sideline ad hominem sniping?

    When dealing with anonymous trolls who never admit error (even when demonstrably wrong) there’s no point of doing anything other than ad hominem commentary; aught else would be casting pearls of wisdom before a swine thereof.

    A more reliable contra-indicator would be very hard to come by (though sparkless-arse-fuckin-buckle comes close), so by all means keep up your stream of “commentary” here! It’s also easier [at leas on the sanity of the linkers] than linking out to DKOS or DU.

  • http://proof-proofpositive.blogspot.com/ proof_positive

    Actually, I did not make a mistake in using the word “staged”. When I said:

    Forgive me, Han-Job, for using the word “staged” instead of “carefully planned”.

    I was mocking you with the language of wikipedia for your inability to infer the difference for yourself. (You were plainly too stupid to catch the subtlety!)

    When you set yourself up as a language expert, or deride others for their language usage, you set yourself up for pity and derision that you are plainly too stupid to recognize.

    I feel sorry for your mother.

  • 2Hotel9

    The pic is from DoD. You can find it here. Just like you would have found pics of Barri visiting wounded and non-wounded troops, had he not been such a chickenshit.

  • http://proof-proofpositive.blogspot.com/ proof_positive

    That is the difference between a “staged” event vs. a carefully planned event where the sincerity is missing from the action for sake of the photo op.

    And having no personal knowledge of anything but a picture you saw once, you know her sincerity? Puh-lease, Han-Job! Not even YOU are that stupid! (Are you?)

    Hey genius, can you please provide a link to where the definition of a photo op included the fact that they are usual “staged” events? No, you can’t, you won’t because you are lying.

    Hannitized: You are the third retarded moron in recent history to call me a liar rather than admit you simply do not understand the argument or simple English! Provide you a link? How about the one you yourself provided?

    Since you quoted wikipedia, let me share with you what you would have learned had your ADD not kicked in after the first paragraph:

    The term has acquired a negative connotation, referring to a carefully planned pseudo-event, often masqueraded as news

    Forgive me, Han-Job, for using the word “staged” instead of “carefully planned”. I know your vocabulary is extremely limited, as is your intelligence and apparently, your patience and ability to read and reaseach things on your own.

    But, before a mind-numbingly stupid and mind-numbingly dishonest person such as yourself decides to call someone else a liar, you should at least give a token effort to finding out the facts. Or, you could merely assume in advance that you are wrong! (Most of us do!) Heh.

    I provide my link and facts, where are yours?

    Same place. I just have the ability to comprehend what I read! Heh.

  • http://proof-proofpositive.blogspot.com/ proof_positive

    I never argued that it hasn’t acquired anything or not. Show me where I argued against it.

    You do realize that if it has acquired that it now has that connotation?
    And you’re ignoring it why?????

    Poor Sarah’s lack of sincerity is obvious with the fact that she took photo’s of every thing she carefully planned in advance. And the purpose for which this photograph was taken last year was????

    Han-Job, you are so transparent I can see your Mom’s basement right through you! Heh.

    Now go play in traffic!

    Still if you Google “mind-numbingly stupid, mind-numbingly dishonest”, you’ve dropped from number two to numbers four and five. I think your fifteen minutes of fame is fading Han-Job!

  • 2Hotel9

  • Hannitized

    Robert,

    Where is your link that provides fact to your lies? Oh, you don’t have one? What a surprise.

  • http://proof-proofpositive.blogspot.com/ proof_positive

    Proof is a liar:

    Poor Puzzlefeet! Not even close and no cigar! (Not even the kind Bill gave Monica!)

    When someone finally teaches Puzzlefoot to read, or comprehend what the pictures in her books tell her, have her look up the word “where“. The “where” in this case is “Landstuhl”, not Walter Reed.
    I did not say that Obama has never visited wounded troops. That would be a sentiment wholly manufactured in the fever swamp that passes for Puzzle’s mind. I said (pay close attention here, P’foot)

    To Boldly Go Where Obama Won’t (Not Without His Entourage!)

    The caption on the front page said where that was. Landstuhl, Germany.
    It was NOT Walter Reed.

    Did Obama go to Landstuhl? No. Because he could not take his entourage (and specifically his military keeper).

    Did I lie? No.

    So, when Puzzlefeet calls me a liar when I am not, does that make her a liar?

    Or is Puzzlefeet merely incompetent or delusional? Your choice. (BTW, “All of the above” is also an acceptable answer!) Heh.

  • Hannitized

    Personal attacks aside, I think it is obviously a photo oppy despite your lack of understanding what one is.

    The infant Hannitized, who admittedly has problems with the definitions of words, has once again mistaken the words “photo op”, an event generally staged for the opportunity to take photos, and an event where photos were coincidentally taken.

    No one, least of all the Kahuna of the Kiddie Pool, has presented a scintilla of evidence that this incident was “staged”.

  • sayanything-2407

    Oh, a side note, the links from google you take as photo-ops, is more commonly known (if you look beyond just google and VISIT the site):

    The State of Alaska Department of Military & Veterans Affairs (DMVA) is here to provide service. This service includes the ability to provide accessible web pages. To achieve this goal, the Alaska DMVA has adopted Section 508 of the 1998 Rehabilitation Act and the Federal IT Accessibility Initiative.

    Section 508 outlines a series of web standards that all military web sites must abide by. Alaska DMVA has started the initiative to make sure that we stay in accordance to this standard.
