An un-welcomed visitor
But it sounds like they were not really happy with the visit or want him back. Head over to Blackfive.net and read the whole story at www.blackfive.net/main/2009/06/president-obama-visits-wounded-troops.html
“Yesterday. Dave Jr. was ordered to be at the National Naval Hospital with another 12 soldiers and Marines to meet with Obama. Obama was supposed to arrive at 11:30 AM. He finally got there at 3:00 PM.”

Unfortunately Blackfive’s been blocked from access at work. I can pretty much guess what it will say. Someone crying because they were called to duty to support their commander in chief. Bush glanced in the direction of the hospital and people’s legs got all jiggly. Anything I missed?

David, why don’t you go home and read the story before flapping your gums and wasting oxygen. Talk about jumping conclusions.
Because of the great deal of respect I have for you and CJ, I went to an open internet connection and read it. I applaud David Jr’s service to our country and am respectful of the wounds he’s received as a result. I’m impressed by his having met some important people that truly care about the military. While I can’t get into his father’s head when he said he was ordered or asked to appear, I can’t get around the fact that if Bush’s handshake were weak and his plane delayed, it wouldn’t have been a big deal. Reagan wasn’t known for having a firm handshake and was consistantly late. Yet I will always be one of his fans for his leadership in what did matter.

I’ll also remark that I regret saying in my first post that the soldier was crying about being order to come in. Clearly out of line on my part as I’d been expecting the usual Obama bashing.

Our troops are not ignorant! They know that it was just another PHOTO OP! Nothing more.
Obama doesn’t care about the men and women who serve and protect our country and the troops know that.
Obama is still on the campaign trail. His delusions about his personal self worth are legendary! Ordering those men (and women?) to “appear” (show up) for the PHOTO OP, was selfish and inconsiderate.
It’s all about Obama! At the expense of others.
Yawn…. The same thing could have been said about Bush.

Typical liberal bs. They cannot stick to the topic at hand, they ALWAYS have to bring in the past Presidents to boost their own guy. That is very telling in my book.
Davey is just our resident lib…a nice yin to the yang…you know, someone from the other side of the aisle that proves our points by making his own…
Always happy to help!

NY-David is a typical example of liberal BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome). Obama could strangle both his daughters and you immediately find NY-David defending him.
Lonna said it “BEST”! David is a typical Obama lover and one of those that has caused us to have the “worst” leader in the world. Only God can help us out of this “mess” and I pray daily for his will be done.
