is a calculated tactic for what ever the objective at hand happens to be....usually getting as many of we the people to buy into him appearing to be doing the right thing.

I agree the emphasis should have been on the returning heros....it was played the same way on NBC last night and during the day. It could have been reversed with the fallen troops being honored and oh by the way Obama was there too.

I wish I could believe it was more than political motivation...but he is a politician first and foremost. One that is looking in all corners to regain some of his lost support and ratings.....unfortunately.

GOD bless the troops.....that is what matters.
