It wasn’t even a photo op, just a press op.

BETHESDA, Md. June 1, 2009 (AP)

President Barack Obama has visited wounded and recovering troops, awarding two Purple Hearts.

Obama spent about an hour Monday afternoon at the National Naval Medical Center outside Washington.

He met with 26 inpatients, as well as about 30 outpatients and their families. He awarded two Purple Hearts during the visit.

The White House did not release details on those visited by the president.

Obama also spent time with the hospital’s staff.

Until I read your AP report, I hesitated to believe this story. It’s really beyond the imagination for the treatment he gave this hero.

But if he had one hour in which to “meet” 56 people, plus awarding Purple Hearts and meeting the hospital staff, that amounts to about 45 seconds per person. Enough time to share a limp handshake.

This President does not understand this country and for what it stands.
