Comments on: On Obama’s Dover AFB Trip http://skepticians.com/2009/11/on-obamas-dover-afb-trip/ by James Richardson Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:19:50 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Jon McGille http://skepticians.com/2009/11/on-obamas-dover-afb-trip/comment-page-1/#comment-4877 Jon McGille Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:03:48 +0000 http://skepticians.com/?p=1064#comment-4877 1) While I'm a Republican, I was pleased to see (know) that President Obama had traveled to Dover to honor the fallen. 2) I was disturbed to see them telegraphing the event, as if Obama deserved some applause for doing what is expected of our Commander-in-chief. But I should hasten to point out, this is all just silly. Why is Rush Limbaugh making news with every criticism he offers of POTUS? Because the White House is so fixated with Limbaugh, Fox News, et al, that they can't move on. The best tribute Obama could pay to our fallen soldiers would be to win the was in Iraq and Afghanistan, but this, I'm afraid, is one tribute he won't be making any time soon. In fact, I'm anticipating a retreat -- but this time, with no cameras on him. 1) While I’m a Republican, I was pleased to see (know) that President Obama had traveled to Dover to honor the fallen.
