President Obama spent this afternoon visiting wounded service members at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, meeting 27 injured troops and awarding eight purple hearts.

During his visit to the hospital the president met with 11 soldiers, 14 Marines, one sailor and one NATO forces member, according to the White House. Twenty-six of the service members that the president met were injured in Afghanistan and one was wounded in Iraq.

You appear to have a hidden agenda for Zero. You see him as your hero. He is a clown, a fool, and; you think one day with wounded troops make up for years?

My son is a Marine who ended up spending 9 weeks at Bethesda last spring/summer, where he received his Purple Heart. He opted not to have the President present it, as did everyone else there at the time. The current President is not very well liked or respected there.

Ah, the Election Year photo-op.

Maybe tomorrow we’ll see him and the family attending a church service, for maybe the tenth visit during the past three years.

Disgusting puke!

You got me there! I admit it. I have started this website

http://www.nachumlist.com/

and have been posted to it for over three years to further my nefarious agenda.

The president is many things, but a clown or a fool? I was thinking more of the lines of Al Capone IMHO.
