Clinton on Stronger American Military Since Obama Got Elected: ‘Less Racist, Less Sexist and Less Homophobic’

Nov. 4, 2012 11:05pm Christopher Santarelli

While speaking at a campaign rally for Barack Obama in Virginia Saturday, former President Bill Clinton gave an unorthodox assessment of the incumbent’s ability to unify the nation.

“One of the things the decider-in-chief has to do, is whether we’re going to bring this country together across all its diversity or let it drift apart,” Clinton said. “Look at how much stronger the American military is because it is less racist, less sexist and less homophobic and we’re just looking for people who can do the job.”

Clinton’s “less homophobic” remark is in reference to President Obama’s advocacy for the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. The policy was introduced by Clinton in 1993, and barred homosexuals from serving openly in the American military. Since leaving office, Clinton claims he didn’t choose the policy that ended up taking shape, but regrets the move nonetheless.

Despite a litany of criticisms Clinton made towards Obama and his qualifications for office during the 2008 Democratic Presidential Primary when Clinton’s wife was a candidate, Clinton has become one of Obama’s strongest surrogates in 2012, attending nearly 30 campaign events for the president thus far.

Some years ago, I heard that Bill Clinton spent many years in Russia, and that he speaks fluent Russian.

  OMGosh!!!! It just occurred to me why BILLY was so adamantly campaigning for that dope in the WH, that even Billy called a Fairy Tale (and he wasn’t kidding) …. IF OBAMA doesn’t win, then Hillary would have to wait for 8 years of ROMNEY and 8 years of RYAN…by then she’d be 100 years old.
  
  I don’t know why I didn’t connect those dots before!!!

Now Bill, tell us how Obama has strengthened our military.

Bill Clinton is sure getting old, senile, and wrinkled.
Hang it up Bill. We all get old.
Problem is, people like Bill just can’t face reality.

I tried to post this once but it never appeared. If it does I apologize for the duplicate.

This is the letter that Bill Clinton wrote to thank the man he duped into helping him dodge the draft.

The letter following Clinton’s is from Col. Eugene J. Holmes, the honorable man Clinton used and duped.

Please read these letters. They are eye opening to say the least. Sickening that Clinton ever became CIC.

Bill Clinton, please explain just how our military is stronger under Obama.
He cut funds to our troops.
He defunded our space program and satellite defense system.
Obama has disarmed many of our nuclear weapons.
He signed an agreement to reduce our nuclear weapons way down to the bare bones, which will leave us venerable to be annihilated by our enemies.

America’s military is less racist, less sexist, and less homophobic.
All this flower child, hippie, touchy feely crap, doesn’t keep out nation safe, our troops safe, or win wars.
So, blow it out your “saxophone” Bill Clinton.

‘Less Racist, Less Sexist and Less Homophobic’
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pretty much less of everything, right Billy Bob? Don’t forget less intimidating to our enemies, and less mission effective in the battlefield due to being told to “stand down” when they knew better.

Sooner or later the ones with the highest perception of duty, honor, and country are going to be less inclined to protect you and your fat-assed wife.

Junta time.

  Don’t forget, when Soros gets his cost cutting ideas through, they won’t even be able to effectively recruit or retain people. Who would want to spend 20 year in the military and no be able to collect retirement until your 60? And with that retirement you will get less money and possible no medical benefits. It is not worth suffering through 20 years of missed family time, and threats to life and limb.

“Look at how much stronger the American military is because it is less racist, less sexist and less homophobic and we’re just looking for people who can do the job.”

Stronger? We’re losing a war to cavemen. A strong military will kill your ass and break all your things. An abundance of hugs is not a show of military strength. Neither is standing down while Americans in harm’s was are abandoned.

Both Obama and Clinton despise our warriors.

Progressives are so terrified right now they’ll say anything. I dont even want to deal with it anymore.
Imagine Bill “Serial Sexual Predator” Clinton accusing the US Military of being racist, sexist & homophobic.

Since when was the military ever racists, sexist and ….well when I was in, I didn’t give a damn about the homos, as long as they didn’t come to me about it. and truth told, I think that was a general consensus among us. So 2 out of 3 ain’t bad.

  Apple Bite,
  I’m with you. That crap didn’t matter if that person did their job. I know there were gay men and women at every school or duty station where I was sent. Was it always obvious? No, but after a while you got a sense of who was who. But we didn’t care! And in the fleet, I would much rather have a gay guy working for me who DID his job, than some hetero **** bird who didn’t or couldn’t. And I was in the Navy 1977 to 1982, which is LONG before don’t ask don’t tell.
  
  And the idea that there were NO gays or lesbians in the military BEFORE these idiots came along defies how demographics works.

  Clinton’s remark is more telling of how he viewed the military when he was president than how it is now. It only took 12 years to have him verify what people suspected.

Look, this guy has such great attributes, I mean, he doesn’t do fat chicks in the oval office, he doesn’t look into the camera and lie to your face, that you know of, and he knows what the definition of the word “IS” is. Come on people, do you want a loveable good, goofy guy you can drink a beer with, and makes you feel smarter than the president, or do you want someone competent, like Romney. Plus, if you get rid of Obama, come on, you guys lose Joe Biden as VP, admit it, he gives you a laugh a minute. So, America, when you go to the voting booth, remember, No Fat chicks in the Office, laugh a minute, makes you feel smarter, Or the alternative, competency. Your choice america.

This is Bubba Clinton, and I just don’t care anymore.

  It’s the testicle taser device Hillary had installed in his underwear, she hit it just as he approached Obama, and it made him bow. Plus, Obama had just dropped a dollar bill, that always gets his attention.
