“.It did not tick any of them off and I am sure they are all talking about the occasion with family and loved ones all across the nation right now .”
That’s certainly a lot of superlatives you’re using. Effusive, even. Like it’s the high point of their military careers or even their lives.

The president visited our service people on Christmas.
Why would anyone have a problem with this?
When we just bash the guy no matter what he does, our criticisms of him are easily brushed aside--"Nothing he does will satisfy these people."
I have no problem with this, none. They could have stayed home. Instead, they spent more time thanking our service people than *I* did today (or most people here, I bet). (I talked with and gave a few bucks to a homeless vet, that's all.)
I approve of this 100%.

If a witness can tell us Hussein actually ate ham, we’ll know that he’s not a practicing muslim EITHER! Black Liberation Theology or nothing.

This gal does NOT think that calling out these two opportunists in search of cameras in a mess hall is unjustifiably bashing them. In fact, because the lamestream media have failed to expose the charletans, we must at every opportunity.
No doubt the fraudulent pair knew they were getting some bad publicity over the amount of their vacation pad in contrast to the amount many Americans have been reduced to subsisting on as a routine way of life.
May the worst couple's (and the lib media's) PUNY, FRAUDULENT souls stir in agony throughout and beyond their lifetimes.

I'm sick of tired of what this so-called president is doing. He is willfully attempting to destroy this country and in the process killing soldiers, Marines, sailors. We need to get this guy out of the Oval Office and put someone who cares and loves this country. Like G.W. Bush.

"Polls are down. . .Rahm and Dave thought it a good idea. "
Could it be that he knows the mood of the country after the obamacare debacle and is trying to suck up to the military, just in case?
For someone who based his whole existence on slamming Bush, this clown sure is doing a lot of following in his footsteps...well, sort of...Bush showed up at the Chow Hall in IRAQ, in the heat of the conflict; Sissyboy obama shows up at a Marine base in paradise...what a brave soul he is.
I don't care how much he kisses up to the military, the fact that the way he's been ramming criminal legislation down our throats, pissing on the Constitution, and systematically dismantling our economy...not to mention his gang of crimal czars, associates, and international apologizing, if the press falls for this phoney baloney "military love" act, they are way stupider than I thought.
He expects some backlash from his legislation, or, he is setting the stage for martial law so he can be "king" forever.
It's possible we don't have until election 2010 to save this country...the big wheel is turning faster as the days go by...

I suspect the visit to Kaneohe MCAS was a XMAS present for the Secret Service.
Same base Obama spent a lot of time at between the election and the Inaugural Day. I suspect the Secret Service and the local commands have set it up for his visits, so as not to interrupt PACOM too much when he’s on island.
Nothing wrong with the CIC visiting them on XMAS day, but one can discern the differences from Bush rather quickly, in that Bush sought a way to serve the servicemen he visited in stealth and sincerity, while this is too easily perceived as a photo opportunity.
The Marines there are probably defensive, not because he’s the CIC, but because the protocols being given are contrary to their culture. They’re addressing the person with authority several levels over the head of their CGs, but instead of standing at attention, they appear to be told to keep their seats and then chit chat with the CIC. Probably all too present in their minds are issues such as how many more bumps in South Asia are we looking at and when are the ROE going to be issued to support us in our efforts to fight abroad, rather than place us in no win situations.
The defensiveness would come in living in one extreme of military ethic respecting legitimate authority, while facing the opposite ethical extreme condoning Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, Islam is our friend, and we must go into Pakistan, but don’t shoot unless shot upon and only if no civilians are anywhere in the area.

"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." Speaking of turkey, hams, stuffing and corn.....

I think he meant to post on Du and didn’t realize he was on FR. I don’t know what he’s smoking to see what he thinks he sees but it must be some good sh*t.
