Sounds like he did it to me.

First of all the headline is a big piece of crap. "tries to boost morale"? Show me some evidence that morale is low. I saw no quote from a soldier. I see no polling data.
Staff Sgt. Jim Lee, an Arkansas National Guardsman, said, "I think he did his duty. We're certainly supportive of the president. We're all Guardsmen, so we know what happens when you transfer from one state to another. The records get convoluted."
What's missing from this? The president should be the President. Am I just hypersensitive or is all the "Mr. Bush" and "president" stuff getting widespread? The press, especially the AP and Reuters and CNN are terrible with this stuff. It's like an inside joke to them: refusing to call him President Bush and even refusing to capitalize President.

Typical AP crap. Misleading headline. "tries"? You know the troops were pumped when the media won't show clips of his enthusiastic reception. They don't want the country to see how much he is loved and respected by the men and women in uniform.

Let Kerry keep dragging out his Vietnam protesting, Hanoi Jane loving veterens of the past and i'll take Bushs' current America loving, flag waving service members of today.

Bush "tries" to boost troop morale in LA? Gimme a break! I was thinking the exact same thing.
Can't expect the AP to hide their anti-Bush bias, can we?

Does we expect any more than this "attack" on GW? HMMMMMM?
AP (Anti-Patriot)
Anti American actually anti Conservative American.
All the troops even the ones who are Next to goto Iraq are supportive of the C.I.C.
The AP and all the libs cannot stand Patriotism.

"Am I just hypersensitive... "I don't think you are, but if so, add me to the hypersensitive list. It's not hard to see what slant these AP pieces are going to take - just a glance at the headline is enough on this one.

Well there was an article posted here a few days ago which said that troop morale overseas is low. Dunno if it's true though.

I saw it live and they were hoo-ahing and interrupting even in the middles of sentences with cheers. It was a joy to see.

Socialism cannot exist without a willing and complicit press.
The AP is leftist, the propaganda wing of the DNC, and becomes less influential and more irrelevant with each passing day.
