Where are all the Liberals that were insisting on showing the coffins of fallen soldiers as they came off the planes at Dover AFB? Why aren't they insisting that now?

Under Bush we were given an update on soldiers deaths every night on the news. They would lead with it - "yesterday 6 soldiers died, etc, etc... The media has indeed been silent under Obama.
You know, that is not true.

I do not care for Obama, but I am not going to hang a 60% increase in deaths on him. He agreed with the generals, and not a few conservatives, and sent more soldiers. More soldiers = More combat= More casualties.

But we haven't suffered any really bad hurricanes since he took office.

Clearly this indicates that God wants Obama to have good weather.

So you better not make Obama angry, you might get hit by lightning. He controls the weather now. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Generals begged Bush for more soldiers in afganistan on numerous occasions and Bush said no, always said no and look where that has got us. Obama listened and thats why there are more troops there now.

THEY ARE HIS WARS NOW. EITHER HE ENDS THEM OR HE DESERVES THE SAME CRITICISM BUSH GOT.

Goodnight.
How wrong you are. These will alwys be Bush's wars. he got us into them and then screwed them both up. Obama is ending the Iraq war and will end the Afgan war. He won't leave them for the next person like Bush so famously did.
