Obama's team shamefully staged this event with the troops
My father was career Army. When I was about 6 years old he was stationed at Fort Gordon,Ga. We lived in Augusta,home to a golf course that I think was particularly favored by then President Eisenhower. My parents were Democrats,but I remember being hoisted up to sit on my father’s shoulders to get a glimpse of the commander in chief’s motorcade as it went by,with the same sense of pride and excitement that we felt some time later when we stood in the crowd at the National Cemetery to get a glimpse of John F. Kennedy. There has been a great tradition in the American military that respects the idea that our troops don’t fight for partisanship or from loyalty to individuals. They serve,they work,they risk their lives for the Constitution,and for the safety,rights and liberty of the sovereign people of the United States.
Now comes this report about Obama’s recent surprise foray into Iraq:According to an e-mail from a sergeant in Iraq:“We were pre-screened,asked by officials “Who voted for Obama?”,and then those who raised their hands were shuffled to the front of the receiving line. They even handed out digital cameras and asked them to hold them up.”
