Obama, in his recent mission to Dover AFB, has succeeded in exercising my self restraint more than anything I can recall in recent history. No defense of his conduct will penetrate my intransient position in this matter.

Obama talks about his attendance at this emotional and final return of American heroes to their homeland with eloquent words like "solemn" and "dignity". Indeed both terms are appropriate. It's too bad Obama demeans them and the fallen with his action. Presidents before Obama including the maligned George Bush paid tribute quietly, without press releases, photo ops and exploitation of gallant heroes and their families, who made the supreme sacrifice in the service of their country. The NYT called GW's ban on such press coverage a cover-up.

Mr. Obama took his press pool with him and hawked families for photo-ops. The posed picture of the Obama salute continues to make the issue about Obama not our fallen soldiers or their families. It is reprehensible. I am convinced more than ever my President is a narcissistic, egocentric and dangerous individual. His conduct, if only from my perspective, is unforgivable.

God bless our returning heroes and their families.
