Obama arrived on the base 3:19 p.m. local time (1 a.m. Eastern Standard Time), and received a rousing welcome from 1,500 troops in camouflage uniforms, many holding cameras or pointing cell phones to snap pictures.

"You guys make a pretty good photo op," the president said.

Soldiers do make a good photo op. Nothing wrong with what he said. Standing among our fighting soldiers in their uniforms displaying our countries colors in the background is an excellent photo op for the president. He is proud of the military. Thats a good thing.

When you put this man in front of cameras without the TOTUS, this is what you get. The truth about what he thinks.


...sigh...

I heard there's a rumor out that he farted too.

Honestly, you RWers are so lost, hanging on every article and every comment, digging and probing, looking for anything you can to try to make the guy look bad.

The desperation is palpable.

I wish people would use words instead of letters and then maybe one could know what TOTUS is. I have no idea what you just tried to say. You didn't say anything.

But as for Obama and the troops. He has been rude and condescending to them on may occasions and seems to have no respect for them at all. Imagine telling people that were wounded fighting for our country that their insurance should pay for their medical bills. I don't think there is a company in this country that would get away with that, but the government is not supporting our troops as it should. I have nothing but disgust for this man.

So using his own words makes him look bad?

Thanks, I would never have put those two together. Beyond LOL, I don't know letter words. It even took me a while to figure that out. I got an e-mail about a Fox special show exposing Obama on Sunday night. Is this really going to happen or is this an old one that has been passed around for a while?
