#1 Don't say the man didn't do the least he could do.

I have absolutely no respect for anything but the office at this point, but at least his staff got him there, even if it took (as I suspect) a handtruck.

#2 In case you have a difficult time telling which one is the obama, he isn't the silhouettes with hands on the heart, it is the one thumbing his nose.

#3 On Fax & Friends this am: Doucey was interviewing a family of one of the fallen SEALS as asked What do you think about Obama releasing a photo of himself saluting the coffins over the objections of some of the SEALS' families?

SEALS' father's reply: "Was anyone surprised?"

Brutal, and devastatingly on the nose.

#4 What a swine, an absolute embarrassment. The people who voted for this talentless, narcissistic self-absorbed clown should apologize to the nation. The man has no shame and no honor and no sense of decency.
What possible purpose could the picture serve in honoring the fallen hero's?

#5 More likely a small fleet of handtrucks and gurneys for the relatives of the fallen, S, after the relatives learned who would be there with his photographer. Kinda like Rock Hudson in the last few seconds of Seconds -- only on an exponential scale.
