"(You missed number three) Avoiding the VA scandal. "

Sorry, I thought that was a given.

I think one of the best way to honor those who fallen, is to visit active forward deployed troops.

Photo opp. He doesn’t give a damn about our overseas people. That was proven at BENGHAZI.

PEOPLE were dying, begging for assistance and Obama went to fundraiser in LAS VEGAS.

Clinton had any troops around him disarmed. And Hillary wouldn’t let folks in the military in the White House if they were in uniform. Also made Navy Captains serve drinks at a reception.

I agree, but Obama got the two mixed up in a speech.

You mean that publicity stunt by George W Bush feeding turkeys to the troops, as proclaimed by the Media at the time??

At least Obama will be over there paying tribute to the corpse-men in the audience on this Holiday .....

“Yeah, right. “Visit the troops.” Bull****!”

Just long enough for photos and then head back home.

My sources tell me that he spent 10-15 minutes inside the Baseball Hall of Fame last Thursday.

Its all about him!!!!And the nerve to talk about 9-11. Here we go with “we have decimated Alquida in this region.”
Here comes killing osama bin Ladin...and how we have completed the Mission.

this is so nauseating. i can’t listen anymore.

Just another opportunity to hop on his private ride and get the Hell out of DC. This boondoggle serves no purpose, none!

Screw that. This guy has no respect for out troops; if anything, he just put a lot of troops in more danger by his presence there. Haji has no ‘spect for obama and would love to kill him and as many troops surrounding him as they could. This is a publicity stunt, GW’s was a morale booster.
