Today, at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey, during an address to the troops, President Obama made a joke that they are like “‘Santa in Fatigues,” which was received with complete silence, prompting the president to nervously name-drop the military aircraft C-130 to evoke a response.
President Obama said, “We are free and safe and secure over here because you are willing to serve over there,” adding, “You never stop serving, you never stop giving, you guys are like Santa in fatigues. Although I bet one of those C-130’s is a little more efficient than Santa’s sleigh.”

Sunds like somebody is suffering from ‘Foot in Mouth’ disease!
And he is the commander in cheif?
Did he get this joke off his teleprompter?
I was just curious if there was any other reason to post stuff like this other than to make the President of the United States – our “medina shel chesed” – look like a complete moron… No matter what your particular political leaning is, contributing to unproductive bashing of the President is just wrong.
It was the teleprompters fault because George Bush plugged it in backwards
The phase you are looking for is “draws silence.” As written, it means he took a loud audience and quieted them.
obama does not care
he is a millionaire anyway
Obama has an eye for the sky. If he sees Santa in the heavens, maybe he has lost his money.
Good to see another presidential gaffe. Mr. Biden would have done better!
Smile.
I hate Obama but I don’t see the problem with this joke. Hes complementing them for all their sacrifice. What am I missing?
Obama has shown his disdain for the Military & Police on many occasions. This is just his inner being being exposed once again.
To #4 and #9, give it up, you voted for him and now the truth comes out!
I agree with whatsthepoint?. This is the gulos of Edom and we are not in the ultimate place but we are in a medina shel rachimim. if you do not like his polotics then express your dislike in a respectful manner.
#4, Would you say the same for Bush ? (just curious)
