        Anyone want to take bets on whether or not the conservatives will A) claim that he shouldn't have spent the money and time doing this because the country has "more important" things going on, or B) he did it all for show because he's a secret Nazi Muslim who couldn't care less about our fallen soldiers? 8(

        Service to country and commitment to duty are not political footballs. God bless our President and the men and women in uniform. It's a vicious world in the trenches.

          This coming from someone who has not served his country, unless perhaps his Kenyan brethren. I would find words from this individual not to be of comfort, but as an insult. Yes God Bless the men and women of our armed services but not for Chowder-Head, our would be king. I've been out of the military since 1986, and I would refuse to accept this illegal occupier as my Commander-in-Chief, I see him as an enemy of our country, same as Bin-Laden and all the other radical muslims we are at war with. No difference, just this one's sitting in the White House.
