WASHINGTON (AP) — A White House photographer was allowed to take and widely distribute a photo from the ceremony Tuesday for the return of the remains of 30 American troops killed in a weekend helicopter crash in Afghanistan despite the Pentagon's claim that any public depiction of the scene would violate the wishes of bereaved families.

I’m blessed to have my husband home with me, safe for the moment, but if this were me, you would see me spitting in Obama’s face on the news. I HATE this man with every fiber of my being.

Obama knows no bounds.....he'll use every sick excuse he can to get his favorite self front and center....

He's not worthy to tie any of those guys shoelaces!

Thank your husband for his service to our country, and you and your family, who also sacrifice.

The photo was pathetic and nothing more than a photo op for the Liar-In-Chief.

Pres. Bush was warned that he absolutely could not use references to the 9/11 attack in his ads. Today we found out that the Follywood Left is making a movie about the death of bin Laden, to be released in Oct. 2012. They are getting “unprecedented” access to Pentagon records, we are told.
The last part of the saga, featuring the ignorant president and vice-president blabbing about Special Forces Unit 6 which led to their deaths, won’t be included, of course.

The Pentagon specifically said this could not be done. The families requested it not be done. But Obama did it anyway.

Every day a new low.

Thanks for posting this. The article implies the Pentagon disagrees with Obama’s photographer even being present. Obama is a vile monster.

I haven't quite decided if Obama is the worst president we've ever had, but one thing I'm certain about:

Obama is the worst human being ever to occupy the White House. Hands down!

As a Marine and Airman mom, I heartily second that.

Glad you’re husband is home, as are my sons. God bless.
