Bush, Obama, and the Soldiers: A Tale of Two Photographs?
Obama visited the the troops last week and the White House just released this photo of his visit.
I saw this Bush/Obama comparison on Breitbarts Big Journalism. Says alot!
Wow. It isn't just the photos, but the videos too. Bush mingles with the people on their level. The difference in mood is noticeable.

Pictures say a thousand words, but people do make pictures. I'm not sure that I could say much about it from just 2 pictures but I know Bush DID have a great relationship with and had much honor for the troops that he sent into harms way.

The left replaced into disenchanted on the conflict in IRAQ, no longer Afghanistan. They questioned why we've been attacking a rustic that had no longer something to do with the terrorist assaults and had no longer attacked us. while Obama pulled troops from Iraq, he placed extra troops in Afghanistan, that's why we've an superior death toll. of course you do no longer look after reasoning or motives, you in basic terms opt to blame the left. i think of you would be happy approximately this, regardless of each and every thing righties are continually happy while the poor die are not they?

Says what? Something tells me that if there had been a barricade where Bush was, he certainly wouldn't have climbed up on it to shake hands with them. I also have no doubt that minus the barricade, Obama would have been hugging people too.
Seriously, is this the best you've got? stop embarrassing yourself.

So a biased source took 2 random photos of Bush and Obama shaking soldiers hands (out of thousands of photos) to make it seem like one is better than the other? I think I can do that in 30 seconds on a google image search but make it look the other way. Lets try!
Obama:

Bush:

Just because Bush is surrounded by more Secret Service agents than Obama doesn't necessarily mean that he needed more security.

You can choose any two photographs and make someone look good or bad.
For example, breitbart could have chosen a photo of Bush dodging a shoe, or standing in front of a sign reading, "Mission Accomplished."
But they didn't.

It doesn't say anything - The set-up for each situation was completely different. They both got as close as they could given the way things were set-up. Quit looking for issues where they don't exist!
