A different Obama at Elmendorf Air Base

Today, Obama was a different President and a much different speaker at Elmendorf Air Base while on his way to Asia.
Since the Ft Hood shooting, Obama was criticized for not speaking from his heart just like he does at those SEIU UNION rallies.
Therefore, I believe that the President spoke at this base specifically for "image" to show the miliatary that he is sincere. It is just another planned and calculated move.
And, as usual, he had 15 or so military folks behind him for public viewing. There was the usual sampling of American Troops in the tv viewing screen standing behind Obama as he spoke. You know 8-9 white people, 4-5 black people, a few hispanics, etc. All for show.
This shows lack of sincereity. I know he cares nithing about the military. And, if he werenotcriticized this past week due to his FT Hood speech, he most likely would not be speaking to the troops in Alaska at all.
Am I wrong here?
No, you're not. But you knew that.
I saw some video of the Elmendorf speech and I immediately thought it was damage control for his “shout out” announcement the day of the Ft. Hood massacre.
No, you’re not wrong; you and many others have noticed (and reacted to) the way EVERYTHING is done for APPEARANCE’S SAKE, with no sincerity or sensitivity—always using Armed Forces or children or developmentally disabled people as PROPS every time he appears on television or in public. Glenn Beck mentioned it on his show recently... It is all so calculated and crass!
