Obama used it as a self-promoting photo-op because he is lower than commie pond-scum. period
True enough. This has the smell of something Clinton would do.
W never, ever exploited the downed heroes, visiting their families in very quiet and unannounced get togethers that most people never even knew about.
AMEN!!! Perfectly Stated!! except You are toooo Gracious and Easy on the Kenyan!
Well, I will say that it played very well with me when I saw it, but Rush and Liz Cheney have a real point, as did Rush's caller: this is more Clintonoid photo-op politics.
We know how closely Rahm Emanuel coordinates with the old Clinton PR team of Begala, Carville, and Clintonopoulos, and the post-inaugural FOIA request for phone records showed those four were exchanging over 400 phone calls per day, and Rush had already showed us on his TV show 15 years ago how phony and stagey Clinton was back then -- Rush's guys busted Clinton again and again, catching him over and over again, performing like a dancing bear, a pander-bear, for the cameras.
I have to say these guys' take is incisive and persuasive, that Obama's trip has to be viewed as suspicious for political showmanship.
And Rush and Liz are right, Shrub did lots of things with vets and bereft families privately and quietly, and covered himself with genuine affection and honor when he did so.
