Montel Williams must be auditioning for a job at Fox News and with this performance, Murdock has to be measuring the drapes in Montel new office space.
The former talk show host appeared on Fox News tasked with one thing, to criticize President Obama’s speech at West Point. What apparently ticked off Williams was obviously not what the president said – his message about reducing America’s role in unnecessary wars, thus, saving the lives of troops who will otherwise be injured or even killed for absolutely no reason like many were in Iraq. No, critics like Montel Williams don’t listen to what is actually said. Montel is angry because he thinks the president should have used the occasion to apologize again for what’s happening at the VA.
“The president just promised $5 billion for terrorists around the world?! At West Point?!” Williams said. “Where he could have used the day to say, ‘I’m sorry for the pain that I’ve caused you, the families, and I’m gonna fix it today!’”
Of course, problems at the VA didn’t start when the president was inaugurated some six years ago, but, critics cannot remember past 2008.
Williams continued.
“I’m angry because, you know, we made a promise. When I stood with my hand up proudly, I said, ‘I do solemnly swear and affirm to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic and I will bear true faith.’ I went through my oath,” Williams said.
“I told the world I’m willing to put my life on the line and die for you. Now, our guys went over. They left body parts. Some of them never made it back. Some of them are here now and their souls are still there. And we have the audacity to turn our back on them right this second?”
If you listen to this guy bellowing his call of unbelief at this administration, you will easily forget who actually started these wars and who is ending them. And you will forget that it is because of these wars why there are many more veterans now, and why “some left body parts” in the warzone while others “never made it back.”
If you listen to Montel Williams scream about the “audacity” of the president for not apologizing, you might wonder where he was when Bush and Cheney said they have nothing to apologize for, even going as far as saying they would do it all over again. And you might ask yourself why, why is Montell not seeing the true culprits here? That Bush and Cheney lied us into these wars that took the lives of over 4000 troops, wars that took limbs from our fellow Americans and caused tremendous pain and anguish to countless others.
And you might wonder what, what is Montel trying to gain with his faux outburst at this president who is actually ending the wars, bringing our troops home and helping our veterans.
What is he trying to gain? A Montel Williams show on Faux? Hmmmm!
And you might be right!
One reply on “Montel Williams is Angry at President Obama. Not Bush… Obama”
You are probably right….
