HONOLULU – Amid a federal investigation into an attempted terrorist attack on Christmas Day, President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama visited with service men and women who were having dinner Friday afternoon at the Marine Corps Base Hawaii.

The Obamas spent about half an hour in the mess hall shaking hands with Marines and their families as they ate traditional holiday fare of turkey, ham, stuffing, corn and broccoli.

“Hi guys, Merry Christmas,” President Obama said as he entered the mess hall from a side door.

The president and the first lady went from table to table, reaching roughly a dozen, asking Marines where they were from and thanking them for their service.

This is so arrogant and condescending that I don't know what else to say. Our Marines are enjoying their Christmas dinner and here comes the President moseying on in trying to get a photo-op.

Bet it just MADE the Marines’ day. Maybe he found the 14% of Marines who admitted to voting for him.

Hey Obama: It’s called Kaneohe! And go back to your $4000 a day luxury home. Nobody wants you or your anti-American wife trashing the mess hall.

An entire half hour? I’m sure the marines were honored by such condescension.

I though I hear on the radio that he had used a gym at a Marine base. Is this the same one?

The Obamas were back at their vacation home by 4:30 p.m. local time.”

We all know NOTHING is done on the fly with the President.This was all planned way ahead. Those poor Marines. Also he called 10 military people(I forget what branch) to wish them Merry Christmas. BUT HE CALLED 14 Senators to congradulate them for the vote. To think we have 3 more years of his $#@#%^^.

Trying to run his poll numbers up.

They are pushing right now to change direction of Obama’s falling numbers.

““Hi guys, Merry Christmas,” President Obama said as he entered the mess hall from a side door.”

Anybody answer?

If Laura Bush had dressed like Michelle, she would have been heckled out of the country.

Why am I not suprised.

Axelrod: "Mr. President, there was an attempted terrorist attack on board a Detroit-bound Northwest Airlines a few hours ago."

Ø: "Uhh, okay, so what should we do? Politically speaking of course."

Axelrod: "Mr. President, you are free falling in the polls and this might be perceived as yet another negative, that frankly we don't need right now."

Ø: "Let me be clear. Uhh, um, deerrrrp. We cannot allow this to sabotage our socialist agenda, and the more unpopular I get, the worse chance we have to completely transform this country into the USSA."

Axelrod: "You need a quick PR boost, Mr. President."

Ø: "I'll have the uhhh, secret service boys plan me a quickie over at the nearest military base."

Axelrod: "Great, don't forget to take the Press Corps with you."

He needs something to do until his minions can get into the hall of records. Closed for the holidays I guess.
