HONOLULU Amid a federal investigation into an attempted terrorist attack on Christmas Day, President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama visited with service men and women who were having dinner Friday afternoon at the Marine Corps Base Hawaii.
The Obamas spent about half an hour in the mess hall shaking hands with Marines and their families as they ate traditional holiday fare of turkey, ham, stuffing, corn and broccoli.
Hi guys, Merry Christmas, President Obama said as he entered the mess hall from a side door.
The president and the first lady went from table to table, reaching roughly a dozen, asking Marines where they were from and thanking them for their service.

From the people who bashed not only Pres Bush; but the image of a turkey in Iraq camp. . .that said; the fact remains that NOTHING a meglo-narcissist does can be construed at 'well meaning'. It defies the definition.
As for 'how much time have 'we' spent thaking our Troops; let us just allow that as Commander-in-Chief he does have some responsibilities to our Troops. And as he ignores the more critical ones; it is hard to appreciate his visiting them during Christmas dinner - and with photographers in full following.
Besides; Obama needed a photo-op; given that he and family had none of the usual to offer at Christmas - entering or exiting a Church on Christmas day.
Yes - thank you for your service and the insight you bring to this situation.
Totally agree that logic, common sense, truth matter nothing to Obamao and his kool aid drinkers and his commissars.
They are pure evil and want nothing but the destruction of the USA as we know it.
Our military heroes, I know, must loathe him.
so, every time Zero uses them for a (30 minute) photo op, I know they have tu exert their self discipline to the max.
And, yes, I remember all the wonderful visits President Bushpaid his beloved troops during his time as Commander in Chief. It was a mutual love/respect fest.
And, yes, understand that you and many are doing things never desired to be doing and not enjoyed - but have become necessary.....think that trend is going to increase until the forces of evil out to destroy us stand down....or until Jesus comes again....
Take csre!
What courage!
This is way better than serving Christmas dinner to the troops in Baghdad when the city is a war zone.
Maggie!! Looks like MO is saying to that sweet little boy: “That crayon. Give it to me. You start paying now.”
God bless these Marines!
