I saw the backdrop of them behind him - in a clip of him talking. No time to go get it now, but yeah - I agree. Not too many giddy military people behind him this time.

I dont think I would be getting out on such good terms if I were in now.

I would simply refuse to salute him. I have no respect for him at all, as a leader, or as a member of the human race.

In Jacksonville Monday, Dover last night. More flights on Air Force One? Or did he just take a helicopter over to Dover?

The Green president is burning fuel like there is no tomorrow.

We are going to have to drill for more oil in this country just to keep Obama gassed up.

This trip was just another photo-op for Obama. Just more of his campaign for President.

Maybe one day ,when he isnt flying around the country ,he can manage to get up to Walter Reed and see the wounded.

Perhaps with luck some time in the future he can work up the courage to make a decision on the war.

EVERYTHING a potus does is a photo op, a symbolic activity. He freaking went and I give him credit for that.

Now what? Bring them home, a-hole. Those boys in those ####ing boxes should not be dying for a useless, pointless #### hole on the other side of the world. Their blood is NOW on YOUR hands. Sir.

BRING THEM HOME. Sitting in planes. Not in the cargo hold.


NOW.

I know you wont like to hear this Larry. George Bush routinely met with families of the fallen. Many of them met in the Oval Office. Pictures were only taken at the family’s request.

GEORGE BUSH IS A DECENT MAN. A good person, a good human being. He brought honor and dignity to the office.

He made horrible, inexcusable mistakes, MISTAKES, that will have long term, devastating affects on this nation. Including the election of Obama.

Barack Obama is a malignant narcissist who is doing exactly as he sees fit and proper and long dreamt of. And it will long and deeply damage this nation.

NOW.

Of course everything a POTUS does is a photo op - he travels with our press corps. However, if he was *truly* interested in paying respects to the fallen troops - he would NOT have done it with all the pomp & circumstance.

Larry, I've been a military brat and/or spouse nearly all my life -I've said before - my brother, 3 brothers in law were also military. My dad is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. I have a big problem with a military funeral being used for this POTUS' freaking photo op.

Obama probably doesn't make a poopy without expecting some kind of reward and recognition for it.

As the news media has shown, this sorry excuse of a president is STILL on the campaign trail! Photo Ops galore! He cannot stay off the TV camera for even ONE DAY!!

I don't know how far this is going to go, but it appears Obammy has his people working on Internet Control, meaning that what is said about him, can and may be monitored in the future. Get your thoughts and ideas out there now, before it's too late!
