Oooooo now that was COLD. You know the measure of a man when he walks next to real warriors and how they treat him. Obama doesn’t deserve to even be in the room with the Military.
beautiful
As much as the Marines liked Bush it still didn’t compare to how they loved Reagan. President Reagan is the only President whom the Marines would hold a salute even when they were saluting his back. They tolerate Obama. They respected Bush. But they loved Reagan.
exceptional post. Thank you.
BO must have been p@ssed at that big time!
Thank you for posting. As the commentator said...a “tepid” response for Obama vs the raucous crowd for Bush.
I found the silence during the Obama wecome to be more than a lil disappointing;
Where were the boo-birds?
My parents have Reagan’s picture in our dining room right next to the Ten Commandments. My dad was a Marine and met President Reagan after he was wounded at the Beirut barracks in 1983 and President Reagan even called him a few times to check on him after that. He was really special.
Chris,
As a fellow soldier myself, I can only tell you that booing your commander in chief - no matter how much you hate his guts - isn’t an option. He’s in the chain of command, and “free speech” isn’t a universal right for the armed forces.
But it WOULD have been nice to hear a chorus of raspberries!!!
Bookmarked.
Thanks for the post! Almost feel sorry for Zero. Almost. Well, not really at all.
And as great as Ronnie was at the time of his presidency, he has grown even greater.
Particularly when you consider the contrast with the present company.
It really saddens me to think that Obama sits in the same office President Reagan gave honor to.
I know I would have done it....regardless of what the price I had to pay would have been.
I’m sure the active duty Marines will treat Obama with the same courtesy and respect that I was obligated to show to Clinton.
fyi
Fantastic — I have forwarded that to everyone I could think of.
Thanks for posting it up!

Agreed. He should be booed simply for his failure-assertion that he would have a “ethically superior” administration than previously at DC... and then he goes and appoints the same shits that have always been floating around DC. {It will be funny when history shows that Bill Richardson was the least corrupt of Obama’s nominees.}
