It’s true that Pres. Bush always spoke to the families of our fallen heros WITHOUT photographers present. He would not say what he said to them, but it’s reported by the families that he shed tears with them.

President Bush did not use it for photo-ops and campaign appearances. He used it for the solemn reason of paying homage to our war dead and to do what he could to comfort their families.

To Obama its just a cheap political stunt. 1 of 18 families allowed it, the other 17 knew what it was.

He has no right to salute. He never served in the US military.

President Bush honored our war dead privately and did not turn it into a photo op like this piecse of sh-t in the white house now. For obama it is just a photo op when he desicrates our war dead. Words cannot adequately convey my disgust of this #$#%$#% in the white house. All I can say is to hell with him and to hell with those who voted for this wretch.

I saw the most nauseating video yesterday.
Barry was shown nearly running up the cargo ramp to get to the coffin before it was brought down .
Like he was afraid he would miss the action.
It was a most macabre and revolting display from our national Showboat.
If 17 bereaved families had told George Bush to buzz off , we all know that would have been the lead story on every newscast.
Barry didn’t honor and respect the fallen , he used them as props.
This guy is one sick and twisted piece of garbage.

So the muzzie in chief is using the caskets of real American heroes as a photo op, a PR stunt?

No too bright pissing off soldiers.

Not so much that he went. It would be an honorable thing for any president to do as commander-in-chief. But it’s a cheap political stunt when he takes a photographer along.

As usual, it’s all about him, not the soldier who gave all that honor had to give and it was cheapened by a cheap photo op.

No class. None whatsoever!

What an amazing statement! Liz rocks. Nailed it. Stripped the emperor bare.
LIZ CHENEY: I don't know why he went to Dover. I think that clearly it is very important for a commander-in-chief whenever he can, in whatever way possible, to pay tribute to our fallen soldiers, our fallen military, folks, but I think, you know, what President Bush used to do was to do it without cameras, and I don't understand sort of showing up with the White House press pool with photographers and asking family members if he can take pictures. I mean, that's really hard for me to get my head around. I think it's an honorable and important thing to pay tribute, there's no greater sacrifice people make to the nation. It was a surprising way for the president to choose to do it. I would also point out that the best way to pay tribute to those who have sacrificed is to win the war.
