Thanks for posting this....all he needed was one family to get his photo op!...look at this... Gibbs saw 'genuine anguish' in faces of soldiers' families

First time for Gibbs. Imagine that.

“”I’ve never seen anything like it,” Gibbs said. “I think you get a real sense of gravity when you see the faces of those that are grieving loved ones.””

Oh my. That reminds me of Michelle Obama saying on the presidential campaign trail that she never thought of military families before—even though she’d been the wife of a state senator and then U.S. senator since the nation had gone to war in 2001.

This administration might have seen it as a photo op; but I pray they got a good dose of reality burned into their souls.

Gibbs also said that 11 of the 17 who denied permission had decided before they knew Obama would be there. Apparently his presence did not persuade those eleven to change their minds. Nor did it persuade the six 'undecided' families.

“”I’ve never seen anything like it,” Gibbs said. “I think you get a real sense of gravity when you see the faces of those that are grieving loved ones.”

He added: “You can see the genuine anguish in their faces.”

Ya think? sheesh.

What an amazing story. Make ones head spin.
