I remember when the soldiers were killed in the Gander Newfoundland crash in 1985. My husband was in Korea at the time (thank God) or he could have been on that flight. He lost a lot of friends that day. I worked at a Ft. Campbell school at the time and everyone knew that President and Mrs. Reagan were coming to the airfield hangar to meet with the families. Everyone wanted him there and he didn’t do it for a photo-op. There were one or two Nashville news organizations there, but it was not a circus. President and Mrs. Reagan offered their heart-felt condolences and
the families really appreciated it.
President Reagan had class, Obama doesn’t.

Well, Bill Clinton and Hillary were good at that also, they just had to come to the OKC Murray bombing memorial, photo op. Never let a good crisis go to waste!!!!.

This is the guy who opted to not visit a military hospital during the campaign when he couldn't bring his media entourage along with him. This seems pretty in character to me.

We visited the site of the crash in Gander and were truly humbled by the reverence with which the Newfoundlanders treat the site.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you,
Jesus Christ and the American Soldier
One died for your soul; the other for your freedom.

doncha know how much he loves to honor our country and flag... ya bunch of racists..
It's not like he's a f'ing pile of dog sh#t that uses caskets of American soldiers for a photo op. Nobody is that crass, classless and dishonorable......
Of course he is a democrat...so maybe he is...

“ABC News’ Pentagon correspondent Luis Martinez reports that Barack Obama brought TWENTY-FOUR reporters, photographers and videographers from FOURTEEN media outlets to Dover Air Force Base to cover his ‘surprise’ visit there early Thursday morning.”
Dead soldiers are meer “props” for Obama. What a disgrace he is to our country.

Very nice ...

I’m stealing that from you... that’s one of the most succinct statements I’ve ever heard... thank you.

George W. Bush would have met with the families privately, and instructed his Communications Office not to inform the news media beforehand, much less invite them to attend.
President Bush just never did quite get the knack of marketing himself. It seems he was too busy being a decent human being who put the needs of the people he served before his own. I guess we need not worry about that now.

I heard this morning that one of the mothers or wives told Obama not to abandon the boys in Afghanistan, but I missed the whole report. Is it true do you know?

I think the left-wing media attacked Bush for not going to Dover to meet the coffins of the soldiers...maybe Obama’s motive in going to Dover was to inspire some more newspaper pieces attacking Bush.
To: mehill
I dont understand your comment. Did Obammie do something to your wife?Besides thugging his way into office?
That sentence came out wrong. I meant to say, "I can't post all the invectives I used while explaining to my wife what that puke of a president did for a photo op."
Another instance when I wish FR had an edit button.

I haven't seen that. There is a comment from the grandmother of Pfc. Brian Bates, Marlene O'Briant Tully, about Obama and the war in an
article by a New Orleans based AP reporter:
About the president's decision to meet the airplane, Tully said, "He ought to be there for every last one of them." A bit later, she said, "Obama needs to do something. Our kids are just dying. For what? What kind of war is this? We're not trying to win."
It doesn't look like she was at Dover.
There are only a few family members who were at Dover that I've seen quoted so far. Their remarks have been measured and non-political.
