Obama Visits Marine Corps Base for Christmas

ABC ^ | December 26 | Jake Tapper

...As Obama entered the room it was absent of the regular fanfare of cheering and clapping. The diners were polite; staying seated at their respective tables and waited for the President-elect to come to them to stand up...

I’m a Navy Mom who actively serves with the USO. We can all give our service men and women the much needed support they are going to require under this administration. I would encourage everybody to support their local USO with donations of all kinds including volunteer time in lounges etc... The benefits outweigh the efforts.

You do know the difference between Obama and Bush don’t you?

Obama didn’t even eat with our troops, Bush took a spot with the Chow line servers and actually fed them.

and by all accounts President Bush spent at least an hour feeding and eating with the troops while Obama took his pictures and left.

Easy on Obama on this thread guys. He did visit the troops. Let’s not make any snarky comments about it.

Imagine the outrage here if he didn't visit the troops on Christmas. "Just goes to show that sumbitch Kenyan hates our military!"

[KevinDavis]

Those are the issues that I have a problem with Obama also... We better be careful and not nitpick over every little petty thing that Obama does... I don’t like Obama, but I don’t have ODS..

Nauseating. Glad my husband retired in February. To have Zero as Commander in Chief would be Clinton times 10.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

You do know the difference between Obama and Bush don’t you?

I completely understand and fully aware of Obama attitude towards our military. But he did visit them, so for now I won't criticize him over this.

[GBA]

Easy on Obama? And why should anyone want to be easy on Obama? Until Obama produces the necessary documents proving his Constitutional eligibility, he doesn't deserve to be in the company of our troops. They each have sworn to defend the Constitution and he disrespects them and us all by fighting producing his BC.

Imagine the outrage here if he didn't visit the troops on Christmas.

Outrage, and props for honesty.

“‘twould be sort of like a Klingon looking at a tribble.”

giggle...thanks I needed a good laugh today!

[Drew68]

Outrage, and props for honesty.

Thanks and I'll be the first to hammer Obama in my posts when he starts signing socialist legislation but this "Obama can do no right" nonsense is just crybaby stuff.

[skeeter]

OK, you wait until then to acknowledge reality.

[SoldierDad]

Check out the last comment I made.

[usmcobra]

He went there uninvited and didn't eat with the troops, and when he approached Marines eating with their families and asked questioned of them they stood up.

Democrats still have no idea how insulting it is to stand a Marine up while he is sitting down to eat....

[SoldierDad]

ODS? Oppositional Defiant Syndrome? (yeah, I know what it really stands for).

[Drew68]

OK, you wait until then to acknowledge reality.

Roger that, It beats joining the legions of blubbering whelps and their childish cries of "Poor, poor pitiful us!!! America is dooooooomed!!!"

[SoldierDad]

I meant my last comment on the ABC blog.

[skeeter]

Bon voyage!

[RaceBannon]

I used to be stationed here, that gym is a new building, compared to when I was there anyways

sad, he isn’t even a citizen and he is going to be president

[starlifter]

Nope. Just responding to your comment that Obama did not go to church. Not sure how you stretch that to Obama = Reagan.

[PurpleMan]

A politician pandering for votes. In other breaking news, the sun will set today.

Really now, I don’t trust BHO as far as I can trow him but for argument’s sake...

How he or any of us observe “the sabbath” is really only our own personal business.
