Funny how Barry leaves town right before more crappy unemployment numbers come out and stages a 'wag the dog' moment at Bagram. Reminds me of how right after the Rats got crushed in December, he took off for a 10 day world tour.

I am sure the brave military were so happy to see the Doofus in Chief stopping by for SIX hours. The man does not even know how to PRETEND to be POTUS anymore, he is shrinking in office every day

change the subject for sure! Wow

I really resent how the obamanation USES our troops for his own selfish interests... what a 100% traitor!

Yet another vacation for the vacationer-in-chief...
Oh, wait.... maybe not.

[wny]

the worst aspect of all Obies overseas travel is that he keeps coming back

[Gaffer]

Regardless of his motives. If his presence in the area gives any portion of our forces there ANY encouragement or confidence, I support it.

a six-hour visit

Golf is not that good, when you have craters on the sides of mountains to play through...

I almost felt proud that he went there. ALMOST! Then, I realized it was a “look at the left hand and don't watch what the right hand is doing” scenario. He's a phony, through and through! Trying to change the dialog.

Did I mention he's a phony?

Is Hussein over there to get his bag of cash from Karzi, just in time for Kwanzaa?

[Califreak]

Is this visit going to boost morale or crush it?

BO is probably in Afghanistan to help the Taliban target the informants exposed by BO’s WikiLeaks.

Bush actually visited the troops in Afghanistan ON THANKSGIVING DAY! He didn't squeeze them in between holidays and vacations.

Bush gave them his holidays. Obama gives NOTHING!

If one has to travel to dangerous Afghanistan,* I believe SPC niteowl77 Jr would recommend Bagram as the best destination by far, as luxurious accommodations and fine cuisine tend to decline in quality precipitately as one travels outward from the Kabul/Bagram area.

(Incidentally, I have it on good authority that it is currently cold enough in the higher elevations of Afghanistan to allow leisurely eating of ice cream.)

Mr. niteowl77

*Did AP use the descriptive "dangerous" when GWB went to Afghanistan or Iraq, or do they insert that just for Leader Dearest?

[The Comedian]

How many mosques did he visit?

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

[Cheetahcat]

9.8 ?? Try 16%

[wbill]

Wonder when he actually has time to govern?

Granted, I'd not choose Afghanistan as a "vacation destination", but, jeez, the guy spends more time in the air than on the ground.

Our troops are professionals and will behave as such. They know all about obama and how little he cares about any of us and our country. They will give the OFFICE the respect it deserves but obama has to know inside how they really feel about him as we all do.
