From what I can see from the few photographs I’ve seen of Obama with military men and women in Kuwait, there seem to be quite a few people - of color - who don’t have very happy looks on their faces.

I saw a priceless picture at Sweetness and Light, and more at Gateway Pundit; but you can’t blame them (our troops) for not liking the guy and letting it show on their faces. He’s voted against their efforts and against funding their mission. He’s one of the leading anti-war democrats; even worse that Hillary Clinton. And Obama appears to be just as popular with our troops as Bill Clinton was.

The main reason for that is probably the fact that democrats don’t listen to our military leaders for recommendations or assessments of their situation - when they’re smack-dab in the middle of a war zone. Diplomats who’ve taken courses in ‘peace and conflict studies’ are far more qualified; which is why Obama has 300 people to advise him on foreign policy.

But you won’t see that in the unhinged reports: Wall to Wall Coverage for Obama

The mainstream media are slobbering all over Barack Obama’s overseas dog and pony show, with a barrage of uncritical coverage and shameless partisan promotion. He’s in Afghanistan now, to pretend that he’s learning something about the war there: Barack Obama lands in Afghanistan on first leg of world tour.

It sounds like they’re referring to a rock concert instead of a presidential candidate. When was the last time a president went on a ‘world tour’? Where are those ticket sales?
While Hyping Obama’s Trip, CBS Notes ‘Blistering Critiques’ of ‘Liberal Media’ from ‘Conservative Blogosphere’ Well boo-hoo.

And strangely enough, white people are the minority in these photos, even though white kids are the majority who are serving.

They’re there, supposedly, to get a take from commissioned and non commissioned officers about what is going on there. So let’s hope that we don’t find that Obama’s little contingent is talking to

So I guess Obama didn’t have enough people to go with him to orchestrate the photo ops and demand that more white folks were standing behind him.

With a garrison of 9,000 in Kuwait, 10% would have been 900 troops. The pictures don’t even show half that. I saw an article that claimed that they ’scored’ (as though this is a basketball game) - and interview with Obama while he’s abroad. Big woop.

But you can bet that Chris Matthews or some other drooling Obama synchopant will gush on about what a great success this trip was; when the reality is sitting right in front of you.

There’s nothing like going to a burning hot hell hole and try to make nice with people who don’t think very highly of you. In order to get a better representation of our fighting men and women, you would have seen a lot more white faces in that little group around him, and they’re just not there.

That phrase from the Audacity of Hope keeps haunting me…

If it gets ugly, Obama will side with the muslims.
