#4 He is only doing this because he is getting criticism for Afghanistan.

#5 What the F^&K will will he say? How can he stand there and be whitness to this when three days ago he was in no hurry to release a strategic pilicy and was OK delaying any Afghan policy even though he said the current one was not working. How dare he use Americans that paid the ultimate price for our nation as a backdrop for his latest speach.

SPIT, KUSS, SPIT. His lack of morals and oportunism has truely no limits.

#6 His motives may not be pure but it's still a right thing to do. It would be more right if he kept it private. It will only become wrong when he makes it into a political 'event' and photo op.

#7 Just another Photo-Op...

If he really gave a sh*t he would have made a decision.

#10 He cares NOT, this is simply a speech and photo op.

#11 President Obama's honor guard photo op reminded me of Gov. Mike Dukakis embarrassing photo op in a moving tank.

Pathetic.

#12 Will he apologize to the families for being such a gutless putz?

#13 It'll be something if the families turn their back to him during his big speech.

Condolences to the families for their losses.

#14 RIP soldiers, you are priceless beyond measure

As for Obama, a ball retrieval operation, liters of testosterone and a brain swap with a member of mensa still wouldn't help.

#19 As for respect for a commander-in-chief, that is earned by doing acts that benefit our country, not a granted privilege. Read up on differences between Democracy vs Monarchy.

#20 Compared to... for example... some of the things said about Bush when he was president?

Bush met the families of fallen soldiers in PRIVATE without the media. it was to express his regrets and feelings.

Obama is making this into a Photo-Op so he can make a big speech about what a great president he is.

#21 This is not good. He is setting up so he can screw the military. He is a media whore and that is the only reason he would meet those soldiers coffins at Dover.
