Obama’s Shameful Photo-Op

Leadership: Disrespecting grieving families, the president sneaks a photographer into the ceremony honoring the SEALs who died in Afghanistan. The presidential scrapbook and campaign are more important.
We thought perhaps the White House had received a sufficient dose of condemnation as well as some sensitivity training over a planned Sony film hyping President Obama’s “gutsy call” regarding the successful Navy SEAL mission that killed Osama bin Laden. The film was to be released three weeks before the 2012 vote. We were wrong.
When 30 U.S. Special Operations forces, including Navy SEALs from SEAL Team 6, the unit that got the world’s most-wanted man, were subsequently shot down in a helicopter, the nation mourned its heroes. The White House, it seems, loaded its cameras.
Nineteen of the families asked for no media coverage of the ceremony at Dover, Del. When President George W. Bush was in office, the anti-war media clamored for photos of flag-draped coffins. The Pentagon honored their request for privacy and said any public depiction of the scene would violate the wishes of the families.
So why and how did a photo of President Obama, in silhouette no less, saluting the return of the remains of these brave men find its way to the White House website as its “Photo of the Day”? Did they not get the memo? For what purpose was the photo taken?
If for historical purposes and posterity, we might understand. This photo by a White House photographer was immediately and widely distributed. The Pentagon said it had no knowledge the picture and others had been taken and noted that it hadn’t rejected media requests to take pictures of officials at the ceremony as long as they depicted no caskets.

You did a good ad. what about adding that Obama murdered those American Navy seals and the other Americans in Benghazi: Obama committed treason and the media hides this. I wish the American people would somehow find out about Benghazi . Yeah these seals are talking about not trusting Obama, Romney , us and they need to out Obama for its treason
What happened to the SEAL team that went after Bin Laden?
The Navy has a very peculiar history in their relationship with Blacks. During the Revolution and the War of 1812, Blacks served in large numbers as Foremast Jacks, i.e. seamen. Few were rated as Petty Officers or higher, but they formed a solid component of the ships companies of American Men of War. By the time of the Civil War, most Blacks were rated as “Contraband”, a term commonly applied to property. This was because the Navy openly recruited runaway slaves, but then did not rate them as ordinary or able bodied seamen because of the way that they were carried on the ships books and what they were paid. In the years following the Civil War, Blacks were gradually restricted to only a few ratings, generally Steward or Messman. There were no segregated ships, but the divisions within the ship certainly were.
Blacks did not really take their place in all ratings and in all ranks until the Korean War and then in smaller numbers and later than what was happening in the other services. I suspect that Blacks who want to excel in the combat branches would choose the Marine Corps, Army Airborne, or Special Forces before they would opt for Navy Seals. Better chances all the way around.
[ And the liberals will say the Seals are racist. That’s why you don’t see many black Seals. ]
When the reality is most blacks are racist because 98+% of them vote for Obama because he is BLACK..
Not all but most..
Thanks for your insight. Interesting.
how fail at being a Navy Seal

comments say that this is actually not a Navy Seal training.
But it underscores the fact that if you are an urban black, and have never really spent time swimming - you might not want to join the Navy Seals. You might look elsewhere. Navy Seal BUDS training is BRUTAL
Not my ad. Look at the credit on the graphic.

I thought some of them were killed in a chopper crash?
That would be the *perfect* ad placement. Good idea!
The SEALS personify courage, duty, and country. A person has to be one sorry S.O.B. for them to have no respect for that person.
Wow. Powerful!
Let's just say there are those questioning that in the special forces supposedly. Nobody left to tell tales about Obama's little Bin Laden kill but one. Very convenient.
Excellent!
They did a little editing before they released it a few weeks later and before the second debate.
