Some one sent me a video on 9-11...with Amazing grace playing in the background. I thought of all who died that day and all who died this 9-11 year of 2012, I also saw the video that Fox News was ready to show the world about Obama and his background which certainly has affected his outlook in the year of 2012. Europeans have said, they have less trouble with this incompetent President than with the voters who put him there.
During the last three and one half years, Obama has traveled to at least 14 countries and apologized for America's ,his opinion, arrogance et cetera, he weakened our military budget and forces, attacked Wall St. ( the backbone of capitalism in America, you know, the rich people he hates....from whom we are supposed to get jobs.... not from poor people...????? moreover, if Obama has future plans to tax the rich more than they are today, knowing the over 51 per cent of Americans are on public assistance then it has to be that this inexperienced amateur President is spending our money...middle class money....he and his bride spend and live like Royalty...vacations and lavish acoutrements.....instead of being outraged by the ambassodor and diplomats deaths, he is yet apologizing...saying we will continue to work with them? how about a Reaganesque approach....you do it again...it means war....we win...you lose....appeasement did not work during the WWII warnings about Hitler's impending march across Europe and it will not appease the militant muslims who are marching like the American occupy movement with steriods, please fellow bloggers think about this....if another 9-11 were to occur and another embassy onslaught were to occur who would you want at the helm....a strong leader or a weak apologetic appeaser and his fashion conscious wife who wore an eight thousand dollar jacket to a London reception and six hundred dollar senakers to a food pantry distribution center? Do you think her clothes brought Europeans closer to us???????Disgusting.....Elect a strong leader...a sober business man...not someone...who wants a White House Beer manufactured in the bowels of the White House.....If we wanted an entertainer who can sing and dance on the wide screen we would elect the winner of Dancing with the Stars. We need a solemn, serious business man....like Romney....I know...I am from Massachusetts....where he worked with a Democratic Legislature and got things done....let's get rid of those who think they are more powerful than God, throwing Him out of the Democratic convention and elect people who know they are human and that there are bad human beings planning our demise....let's be strong and stand by America....by the way how about cutting off Libya and Egypt's 2 billion per year subsidy, they will be praying on their knees....no doubt.
AS I said, you REALLY should consider changng your handle.

Hopefully your blood pressure went down after getting that little rant out, we would not want anything to burst.

It wasn't a "welcome home". That was the headline chosen by an editor. Try again.

If Obama goes and pays his respects to these men: "Oh, look at him. He must think it's some photo op. He's showing up to torment them and apologize for their actions. Blah, blah, blah. It's DISGUSTING."

If Obama were to not go and pay his respects to these men: "Oh, my god. He's probably out golfing. He doesn't care enough about them to show up. Blah, blah, blah. It's DISGUSTING."


Go crawl in a hole and don't come back out.

Oh, and those of you saying it was just a photo-op for Obama. Guess what, it's a photo-op to send out to the entire world. An important photo-op. Would you rather have the Middle East think we just pull the bodies off a plane like a sack of potatoes? No honor? No sense of great loss to our country?
Great post and yes, the Repugs would have just dumped the bodies into the back of their rusty pickups rather than have Obama seen honoring these American heroes.




If Obama hadn't been there there would still be Repugs sniveling and whining about """why wasn't Obama there, he should've been their to WELCOME them home??!""

They do NOT care about these American heroes...just slinging mud and whining whenever they can...

I thought you were complaining earlier about the President not showing respect. What is he to do? I saw clips of the service when the bodies came home. If any of those people were my loved ones I would have been very touched and comforted by the ceremony. Both the President and Hillary Clinton were very respectful of the people and the work they had done.

I think it's typical to refer to people "coming home" when they have been killed in other countries while serving for this country. Isn't that what they say about soldiers who are coming home after being killed in war?

Do you live in a fantasy world? there is almost nothing in your post which is truth. Do you really believe all those things? Reading through you post, I felt as if I had been dropped into an alternate reality. Btw, just because YOU believe in "God" doesn't mean that everybody in this country agrees with you, and "God/religion" should have no place in our government. Didn't you know that it was Obama who wanted "God" put back in the platform?

It seems to me, from reading this thread and others about the violence which has erupted, that the very hardest, hardcore far right wing people out there in the public post here.
