A little bit of fair-and-balance in an otherwise swooning article.

I can't believe that Gibbons actually included this statement:

some sailors said they were upset about being ordered to come

Reminds me of when I was at Aviano and was in the same situation when one of the Clintons decided to "support the troops." Always disgusted me being forced to be part of a campaign backdrop.

Obama, where is your National Security Policy? Goldwater/Nichols act requires you to publish a strategy. We have been waiting too long.

How many people reading this know what a Navy Corpsman is?

:)

Obama doesn’t.

One-half sailor and one-half Marine who has no fear while he moves about the field to mend the wounds during the fight and stays to the end never taking flight so he can get back for the next Saturday night and choose whether to wear Navy white or his Dress Blues.

Is this Green Cove Springs NAS, when I was young my father used to do reserve training there during the summer? AND NO they weren’t using fabric covered biplanes.

Obama was well received...by a 10 year old and an RAAF officer.

Seriously, what 10 year old says meeting Obama is like, “...discovering a new species...”

His teleprompter doesn’t have a ‘dd-214’ either.

Representing a political party that contains siginificant elements who hate the military, who want us to lose wars and who’s dislike for everything the military stands for, Emperor Obama is a shallow, weak and distressing commander in chief. I too would be very unhappy about being forced to be there. How about we fill the hanger with reporters so the whole crowd could drool and fawn over Obama?

I didn’t see any of the sailors clamoring to shake his hands like they did with a proven Commander-in-Chief GWB when he hooked up with the military personnel. NO smiles or excitement!!!

“This is the first time we get to hear a black president speak at this base,” said Rhonda Brown, a civilian who works with reservists. “It’s historic.”

Please ... Make ... It ... Stop!

Rhonda Brown, eh? Well, I know his color is more important to some people than his leaving their fellow servicemen and women flapping in the wind.

I’ll bet “Rhonda” might feel differently if SHE or one of her loved ones was on the ground in Afghanistan while that lousy POS is carousing on the golf course.
