…why President Obama brought his camera crew along for his visit to Dover AFB early this morning for his honoring of the returning fallen soldiers from Afghanistan.
Couldn’t be for a photo op, could it?
Naw. Couldn’t be. I mean just because most everyone I have talked to about this today expressed a certain amount of discomfort at the photo op images to come out of this thing doesn’t mean anything. I wouldn’t have taken photographers, but that’s just me. I certainly wouldn’t have wanted any of the pics released, that’s for sure. It isn’t about the President, saluting and showing how much he “cares”. It isn’t about a photo op so he looks good at 2:3 am. Its about the returning soldiers. I guess that idea is lost on Axlerod and Emanuel.
I guess we can rest assured, though, that our President is on the ball here. Will he fly out there every time a fallen soldier, airman, sailor or marine comes home? Of course not. He is far too busy to do that sort of thing. He has set a precedence, though, but I doubt he’ll need any more stock pictures of his saluting.

The press would have crucified George Bush for this.
No change for a man who stood with his hands at his side for the National Anthem. This picture is all about B Hussein.
Will he attend any of the funerals? Not thinkin’ so.

He does not understand that where ever he goes, HE is the story. On second thought, maybe he does understand.

That our President was there was nice. But that our President had to have his picture taken to prove he was there is sickening.
That soldier in the coffin gave all they could for us and, to me, he is just mocking them. You don’t pose with the dead.

That’s just showing everyone that he truly has NO class at all.
What a shame that the parents/wife gave permission for this to be done with the Warrior that GAVE HIS/HER ALL.
Shows to all with any common sense just how far these LIARS will go to make it seem that they are ‘patriotic’.
