    If President Obama walked on water, Conservatives, the G0P and the FOX NEWS would complain why was he not swimming.

    I am a Republican and I am going to get sent off to Marine Corps boot camp on June 7th. I do not think our President has been disrespecting the military.

    Ex: When Marine One landed and the Marine guards are on deck, President Obama would salute them (a traditional brought on by the Republican President Regan) but then he would something shake their hands too and thank them. That was something new he did.

    Let me see. He won't be showing up or doing a speech (actually reading a teleprompter) at the Memorial day sermon in D.C. for the military this year. He says that he will be busy but he will make it to Paul McCartney's concert tonight. This just SCREAMS disrespect to the military.

    All you have to do is look at Hagar's response. I bet he doesn't even know that the President is speaking at Lincoln Memorial Cemetery. and that other Presidents have missed services at Arlington to attend services at other military cemeteries.

    It was the Democratic congress that finally got the body armor that parents had to pay for under Republcian rule.

    Republicans will look for any reason to attack Obama.

    Most of their arguments are unfounded crap, perpetuated by right wing talking heads who espouse nothing but pro-corporate rhetoric.

    Because it's true. I'm not going to school you. Maybe you should pay more attention. And no, our troops are not just killing civilians.
