Commander-in-Sleep Visits West Point

When West Point cadets learned that the Commander-in-Chief would be delivering a major speech on Afghanistan at the United States Military Academy they probably never realized it would be an exercise in fighting insomnia. As TV cameras panned the audience cadets were seen in various states of consciousness. The Commander-in-Sleep was working his magic mesmerizing the crowd with his canned, teleprompting message. There was nothing new. The main stream media had already covered all the pertinent points that day prior to the speech.

You can be sure that if America saw those nodding cadets then the Military Academy leadership also took notice and probably doled out a little extra-curricula disciplinary action.

This speech lacked passion and enthusiasm. As the President continued on it appeared that even he was bored. Was it me or the lighting? Obama looked like a cast member from Michael Jackson’s video “Thriller”.

Those Taliban and al-Qaeda forces that listened and managed to stay awake had to be equally bored but somewhat pleased of the announced departure date of American troops. Maybe this speech was a new Obama administration secret weapon. Any future enemy forces that are captured will be subjected to a new enhanced interrogation method, repeatedly listening to this speech until they give up the information needed.

It will have the enemy longing for the good old days of waterboarding.
