What makes you think the military even wanted Obama there? His presence would have ruined the entire ceremony IMO

I'm absolutely sure that the military did not want him there. However, had Obama wanted to be there, I'm sure the military would have given him a proper welcome. They are good at that kind of thing.

I think we will see in the future the "O" avoiding anything where he would look deminished in contrast...like standing next to a real leader like Petraeus - particularly when "O" needs a teleprompter and the General doesn't!!

I think he is stunned at the backlash to his economic programs and will duck anything controversial if he can.

We are witnessing the first two year Presidential term in US History.
