This elicited a torrent of outrage from pundits in the liberal mainstream media. Conversely, when Obama made similar remarks about former president Bush, the mainstream media didn't even bat an eyelash. As I noted in my previous post, in March of 2007, President Bush toured Walter Reed Army Medical Center after he had learned of the dilapidated conditions there and the poor quality of care that the patients were receiving - which...

Of all the Obama fabrications, this has to be one of the more preposterous. The Narcissist in Chief was not showing empathy because he doesn’t have any. joytiz.com http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2376712/posts#comment Mon, 2 Nov 2009 18:38:45 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2376202/posts Talk radio bomb thrower Rush Limbaugh ripped President Obama Sunday for his ego, health care reform effort - and a "photo-op" with the casket of a U.S. soldier killed in Afghanistan. "It was a photo-op precisely because he's having big-time trouble on this whole Afghanistan dithering situation," Limbaugh told "Fox News Sunday." "He can create the impression that he has all this great concern," Limbaugh charged. Obama said his overnight trip to view the returning flag-draped caskets of 18 Americans killed in Afghanistan at Dover Air Force Base Thursday will "bear on how I see" the war. He is expected...

Doing something that his predecessor never did in eight years in office, President Barack ObamaBarack Obama made an after-midnight visit to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware Friday night to welcome home the fallen dead from the war in Afghanistan.

But in the six months since the controversial ban was lifted and 258 families were allowed to choose whether they wanted the media present, 60 percent said yes, according to the military. In August, the Pentagon quietly amended the policy so that families were given a third option for coverage. Now they can have military camera...
