2007: Obama Accused Bush of 'Photo-Op' With Troops
Reuters, March 30, 2007: Sen. Barack Obama, an Illinois Democrat who is also seeking his party's 2008 presidential nomination, accused Bush of being slow to tackle problems with veterans health care.
"The problems plaguing our military hospital system will not be solved with a photo op," Obama said in a statement. "Our military hospital system is in a state of crisis. Delays and rhetorical band-aids will not move us closer to a solution."

Thank You for Your Submission!

Obama must have taken blame Bush 101 in college. He lacks courage in dealing with Afghanistan. He needs to send the troops needed or get out. I am betting he won't get a second term.

That was then, this is now. Never let a good photo op go to waste.

First day on Fox Nation. Great stuff!!
If BHO was sincere he would have booted the cameras out. Second, I just don't like seeing him salute. I spent some time in the military, and you just don't salute when not in uniform, and in some cases even in uniform if you aren't wearing a cover. (That's a hat for you civies.) If the man wants to honor the military then honor our codes and customs.

This arrogant narcissist is not interested in honoring the troops. If the cameras had not been there, neither would he!

Of course, Obama is such a wonderful human being he would never lower himself to a photo-op involving military or veterans. I am surprised he didn't have his teleprompters on the tarmac at his non-photo-op at Dover. Except for Fox News, this man has NEVER been close to a camera he didn't like or have to jump in front of.
