Any possibility he'll decide he likes it and just stay over there?

Waiting for the Tea Party to find something wrong with him visiting the War Zone as if calling for revolution while we are at war isn't slimy enough

Once again, you have it all wrong... It's the socialist POS who called for this revolution, by his actions. He wants to destroy America. What is surprising is that there are a few people who actually support him. The ignorant, and the freeloaders, and those who promote socialism, those are the few who still support him, but those numbers continue to change the longer he pushes his agenda..
Pay attention and you too can learn and see the evils of your ways...! It's OK to be wrong, just as long as you learn and change your views before it's too late...!

Oh, umm...I'm watching it on Fox right now...mmm...still looking...still looking...yep, there they are. I see flashes from cameras! That's good, at least he'll finish his campaign speech this time before running off to the gym. Good thing those cameras were there, hugh?

Well leave it to Obama to go and spend a boat load of more money. What did this trip cost us? I hate stealing lines, but heard a good one from McCain

"please do not tell Obama what comes after a Trillion"

I am all for the POTUS making a surprise trip to any war zone to visit the troops. He should have done this earlier,though. Around the holidays (Thanksgiving or Christmas) would have been nice. As a vet myself, these visits do boost morale, especially during the holidays when most deployed military are homesick.

I personally think it was more a photo op and to boost his approval rating after the dismal Obamacare bill was signed into law. The guy can't be trusted, so now any action is questionable, at least the motivation behind it.
