I agree 1OO%!! I live in Jacksonville, NC, which is blessed to be the home of Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base. I am reminded every day of those sacrifices by the missing limbs, the use of canes, and the signs of PTSD I see in my community college students.
I also despise the media who keep trying to excuse Obama's behavior this week-end by saying, "Bush went on vacations, too." GWB would never have left Washington with such a crisis going on! Still, he was roundly criticized for every trip he took to the ranch, even though her would have been in a constant state of communication with his advisers (who were much more competent than Obama's political cronies).
I am sick of hearing the excuse ‘blame Bush’. I must have heard, “it’s Bush’s fault” about 100 times today. Barry has been President for 5 1/2 years. He owns it. Is Barry too much of a WIMP to take ownership?
You’re exactly right. Can you imagine if Bush were in office right now? it would be wall to wall coverage of why Bush wasn’t running in there to save everyone. We’d probably be seeing the worst photos possible 24/7.
