11. reliapundit:

yeah, i posted this a week or so ago.

http://astuteblogger.blogspot.com/2009/03/bush-versus-obama-who-do-troops-love.html

it has a link to video – PLUS: several stills.

look at the still. maybe you’ll notice what i noticed; it’s something just as important as how thew troops relate to their Commander in Chief – MAYBE MORE IMPORTANT.

look how their Commander in Chief relates to them!

look at bush’s response to them versus obama’s response to them…

and i’ve checked this many times:

you can tell bush is very moved by the troops; he obviously respects them, LOVES THEM.

obama looks at them as if they were inconvenient.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I noticed in the picture included of obama speaking to the troops – there were three black marines behind him. not one of them was smiling, or looking remotely excited. (reminds me of the “drivers license” expression.) Interesting, especially when you consider the pre-election military polls broken down by race had about 70% of blacks supporting the “o”.
