AP story so you can take it with a grain of salt.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/04/07/president-obama-makes-surprise-visit-iraq/

"Obama spoke for just six minutes with the nearly 700 troops who gathered at the base that was formerly a palace for Saddam Hussein."

"We love you," shouted a few troops. The president shouted he loved them back."

A little different perspective on the meeting.

I think its more along the lines of "Hey someone important acknowledges us!" more than anything.
Plus, wouldn't the ones who were enthusiastic about Obama be the ones running up to him anyway? Remember, approx 30% of the military is registered Democrat or at least vote that way. 

Either way, I still cringe when I see the photo, or any photo of him, his wife, Pelosi, Reid, Fienstein etc.

Strange how they would "love" a man who's party has doubted them and vilified them constantly for six years.  Must not get much news over there.

When the teleprompter can't speak, I guess index cards are the next best thing.  Is this man capable of expressing a thought on his own? ... ::)

Considering the guy is Soros' puppet I don't think he can, it would be a start but I don't think its possible.

He's officially off shore. Does not pay a penny in USA taxes.
Has more power politically than citizens.

Got to remember the washington press core are literal "groupies" for BHO. The editors at the news networks "edit" the shots to pick the "good" ones.

Previous posts showed a campaign visit to troops in NC recently by BHO, and than Pres. Bush, the reception was quite different.

Remember the media; hope all this "propping up" continues when the conciliatory, appeaser, apologizing, "community organizer"  has the consequences of his actions causing collapse here soon.

Has it been 100 days yet?

A president who thought Austrian was a language. What a Buffoon.

What I want to know is how many of those soldiers were on the hook for some minor offence. I recall  a freind (and retired Navy SEAL) relating a story to me about then President Clinton. The president was coming to Coranado and wanted to go on a run with the SEALs. No one would volunteer. So the solution was to give a couple of slackers a choice: Run with the President (who no one had any respect for) or spend the rest of BUDS pulling the weekend duty shift.
My guess is that more than a few were there simply to provide for the photo op.

There, I slung my mud, I will now duck and cover back to my foxhole.

How many troops are in country? Think they could get 700 troops who did and do support him to show up? I think so. But man, can't he say something from his heart. I can't beleive he can not speak from his heart for seven minutes with out the index card. The drive-bys picked on Bush for being stupid because of his speech and mannerisms. At least Bush had some passion.  This guy is an iceman. :-[

This is an email I recieved from Dave who was there when BHO showed up, it wasnt what it seemed.....


Well guys you may have remembered I told you I was here in Baghdad at Camp Victory.

If you watched the news you would know who else showed up today.  Do not believe the news (as usual) there are no more than 100 people standing around to see him.  Most of the people who do are Ugandans.

There are thousands of soldiers here and only a few showed up to watch.

Ever wonder why this person shows up 'unexpectedly' everywhere?
