Way to go, Obama ~ By Barbara Simpson

By Barbara Simpson Posted: November 02, 2009 ~ 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 Sometimes liberals make me sick. I was scanning the radio dial while driving this week and happened on a liberal talk show. I listened for a bit, and it was good I had a solid grip on the wheel as I heard the juvenile fawning over Barack Obama. The man who is president of this country finally found it on his "to do" list to be on the scene with military officers at Dover Air Force Base as the bodies of 18 American military service members were returned to the United States. He had the routine down pat: the slow salute, timed perfectly with the witnessing officers; the stiff, upright posture and the grim face and eyes focused in the distance. As I watched him, it appeared he was chewing the inside of his cheeks, as he tried really hard not to break that serious look. People say Obama is a good speaker. Perhaps. But he's not a very good actor, and this was a test. That he "happened" to show up in the middle of the night with the White House press pool and cameras in tow was clearly just coincidental, wasn't it? After all, he would have shown up alone to pay respects to the dead, wouldn't he? Well, no. Think back to his trip to Germany when he played basketball instead of visiting injured troops because the press wasn't allowed in the hospital. It's all about priorities, and Obama's priorities are skewed. Americans are becoming cynical about the Obama image even though media present him as "concerned" and "involved." It was Obama, after all, who on his Olympic "sales trip" to Europe had barely 25 minutes to spare for Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal to discuss the Afghanistan war and the general's request for 40,000 more troops. Obama still hasn't made up his mind what to do, and while he dithers Americans are being killed and maimed. These 18 were the remains of American military most recently killed in Afghanistan, the worst month in a year – young men who met the ultimate test of dedication to their country and bravery in the face of ultimate danger. It's a shame they were used as a photo-op for the president, but the obvious truth of that doesn't surprise me. [CLICK HERE TO READ MORE]
