Obama, much like Clinton, used the military for photo ops when they needed them, then went back to slashing budgets and personnel from the armed forces. Obama will do the same. I think he holds the same contempt for the military that Clinton did, he just wasn't stupid enough to say it on record.

Dubya understands the warrior cadre in ways that BarryO simply does not. And honestly, I don't get the impression that PEBO has any real desire to learn, either.

On November 4th, the voters selected slates of candidates to serve as members of the Electoral College. On December 15th, the people chosen as Electors met in their various state capitols, and cast their ballots for President and Vice President. Those ballots were then sealed and transmitted to the Congress. On January 5th or 6th, the President of the Senate, presiding over a joint session of Congress, will open those ballots and disclose the vote totals to the Congress. <em>It is only at that point that our next president and vice president will have been elected!</em> Right now, the gentlemen in question are former Senator Barack Obama and (still) Senator Joseph Biden. And am I the only one who has wondered why Mr Biden has not resigned from the Senate? He skipped his last duties as a senator, and Governor Ruth Ann Minner has already appointed one of his cronies to replace him in the Senate. He's just drawing a paycheck for not doing his job.

Obama did not eat with the uniformed men and women — he ate at his beach home with his family and friends

“Just wanted to say hi, hey guys” Obama said as he walked into the Anderson dining hall which was decked out in Christmas decorations.

Barack Obama repeatedly and routinely denigrated the mission in Iraq, not just as a US Senator, but as a candidate for Commander in Chief of the armed forces. Whether or not he meant to demean the sacrifices of our troops, that's exactly what he - and anyone else - did who either said or implied that they were making the ultimate sacrifice for a "lie" … that their deaths were "wasted" deaths.
