Obama to Troops you make a great Photo-Op

By Anne E. Kornblut,Washington Post

Obama arrived on the base 3:19 p.m. local time (1 a.m. Eastern Standard Time),and received a rousing welcome from 1,500 troops in camouflage uniforms,many holding cameras or pointing cell phones to snap pictures.

“You guys make a pretty good photo op,”the president said.

Standing on a riser wearing a blue suit and red tie,with a cluster of troops and a large American flag behind him,Obama expressed “the gratitude of the American public”and said his meetings in four countries over eight days in Asia will help deliver a “safer more prosperous world for all of us.”

He got a huge cheer when he told them he was increasing military pay. “That’s what you call an applause line,”he said,before boarding his jet and taking off at 4:11 p.m.

  • "OOO"loves the camera and is never ceasing to be on the campaign trail. Using our troops so deceptively. He is not going to make a decision on Afghanistan for a few weeks yet. He could care less for our men and women in uniform. The raise is just a bribe.

    cry and moan all you want but it is our fault not his. if we the american people had any backbone we would march on the white house and physically remove him and all his followers. there ar times when revolution is a good thing. you want these people out then grow up,get a backbone and take them out but for heavens sake quit crying about it and do something. talk is cheap,action gets things done.

    This man is the greatest opportunist of all times. He says whatever his audience,at that time,wants to hear. Just look at the photo op embarrassment this past week with his family at dinner!! His teleprompter failed &he was speechless for moments,supposedly while in casual conversation with his daughter about school. If that does not indicate the superficiality of this man,
    nothing will!!

    Obama is a lost soul. The sad part about it is hes in charge of our country,a country he hates. Now its up to us to get him removed from his job that he is a complete failure at. We need to take back our lives and our country and send him back to whatever country he come from. I will never respect a democrat in Washington again,as each of them had to know Obama was not from this country and that the Acorns were going to cheat by voting using dead peoples names. They didn't care what went on just as loneg as they won. Thats the kind o f people we need to make sure we vote out of office and make sure we don't put their kind in again.

    YES A GREAT 'PHOTO OP'THAT ALLOWS BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA SoA (SWT) TO PERPETUATE THE ILLUSSION THAT HE IS ACTUALLY ON OUR SIDE IN THE WAR ON TERROR. ALL THE WHILE HE IS UNDERMINING US EVERY CHANCE HE GETS.

    I would love to see him make a speach in front of our remaining Pearl Harbor Survivors……..If it weren't for us,he would still be in some land over seas with his nation.He never once mentions what things would have been if we had lost Pearl Harbor on the 7th…I am going to be 91 on the 4th of Dec,and was along side the USS.Pennsylvania,USS Cassin and the USS.Downes on Dec 7th,1941.with the rest of our true Americans. I wonder where he would have been if he was born then.
