President Barack Obama made a surprise trip to Dover Air Force Base late Wednesday night as the bodies of 18 Americans killed in Afghanistan arrived.

The president, who is still undecided on a strategy for the way forward in the region, left the White House by Marine One near midnight to meet the 18 bodies of soldiers and Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) agents killed Monday.

This is a PR stunt. The guy loathes the military so much. This trip is the first one outside of the White House that didn’t involve party favors, Mariachi bands, golf clubs, and NIKE tennis shoes.

The Commie-in-Chief was probably smirking the whole time.

Soros hasn't told him what to think. Yet.

I can just see, hear and imagine Obungler on the 20th Anniversary of the toppling of the Berlin Wall say, “Mr. Putin.... Re-build this wall!!”

I'm guessing it was a campaign event. Those are new Obama voters that he's greeting.

Okay, quick question regarding military funeral etiquette.

Do the president salute or place his hand over his heart when rendering honors? The last time I was at the tomb of the unknown we had the opportunity to take part in a wreath laying ceremony. The guard instructed us civilians and military personnel not in uniform to place their hands over their hearts when honors were rendered. Uniform military personnel saluted.

Over his heart, Obama never served in the military.

One thing I have noticed from his recent appearances and trip on Air Force One there are no Military Members standing at the stairway to the Aircraft, only secret service types.

Obama is deathly afraid of our military.

It is a desecration for him to be present.

How dare Obama use these warriors as a PR stunt? The POS does NOT care about our Military. They are dying in Afghanistan because of his stall tactics.

If ever I have totally disliked any president, this is one I totally dislike. 2010 can’t get here soon enough to change Congress to weaken his power.

Hey you Media Mongrels who come on here ... WAKE UP and TELL THE TRUTH. Put down the Kool Aid and for once BE HONEST even with yourself that the media made a mistake and OBAMA is NOT the person for the job as President of the United States of America.

Wake UP America!

Because Obamanut refuses to make a decision it could have been a contributing factor to the uptick in violence that led to these deaths.

I just want to know if Obama played golf during his afterlife visit to the deceased.

Paying respects or gloating?

I’m sure he told the caskets it was “absolutly necessary.”
