Hi, Ohio! You are exactly right. If he’d jumped on Air Force One yesterday with no grandstanding and an “Oh my gosh, this is horrible we all need to show our support and concern for our troops” my opinion of him would have gone up a smidgen. This is what presidents do. He was more concerned when Michael Jackson died.
Of course, McLynnan. He is THE PRESIDENT. He could have been there yesterday, or today, expressing his support for his troops. He could have kept the cameras away (AS PRESIDENT BUSH DID), and he could have given comfort to those who were wounded.
There is only one reason he didn't do that. He doesn't give a rip about them and I truly believe he is empathetic with the Muslim terrorist who committed this attack against our military.
(And he WAS more concerned about Michael Jackson's death than his troops. Disgusting).
