President Barack Obama reacts as he sees cheering Marines after he spoke about combat troop levels in Iraq at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, N.C., Friday, Feb. 27, 2009. Obama moved to fulfill the defining promise of his campaign, announcing that all U.S. combat troops will be withdrawn by September 2010.
You just made me cry Star...I miss him so...tears.
God bless this extraordinary Commander In Chief, and God bless our awesome military, whose protection we pray for more than ever.
***How can anyone look at these pictures and not reach for a tissue while saying a prayer for our military?
Thank you, STARWISE.
I honestly don't remember! I did read about the ‘quiet’ though. I'm sure it made him angry underneath it all.
O’s whole demeanor is arrogance, it just can't be hidden.
70 USAF and ANG pilots died flying the F-104. Not one in combat to my knowledge. It goes to show how dangerous it was to fly that plane AND it’s mission, air defense of the Continental United States. Every time the BDS sufferers denigrated Bush’s service as a haven from risk, they pissed on the graves of those 70 pilots.
Screw them and the Prius they rode in on...
I’m doing it again, too .... sniff.
I don’t recognize this country anymore.

Nation’s Food System Nearly Broke

Time to chin up, and take care of business. God is in His
throne .. keep praying.
Thanks for all the links STAR. The “Nation’s Food System Nearly Broke” one is really scary. When the food gets short all hell will break out.
Okay...the crying is done. Got it out of my system and will move forward.
Appreciate all the links and will bookmark them for later reading (after I finish doing taxes, tomorrow...blech).
Take care.
You, too .......... ;)
Respectfully, they are not soldiers. They are Marines. For life.
Bush, and any one else who "flew" the 102 hung on for dear life, not flew. Reports were that was a tough plane to handle.
I will not get depressed..I will not get depressed..I can get amgry at the state of the nation and it’s leadership..
May God Keep Safe Our Troops.
Thanks for the post, potlatch.

Arrogance describes him perfectly.
For all of his faults, Bush really seemed to care about the troops. He had a love for them and it was shared.
I dont think Obama has it. The troops seem to see thru his slickness and see him for what he really is, another fast talking conman.
Lol, we all agree on that!
We are all depressed!
Thanks Meg
