Red Blooded American Boy

In a sad political spectacle, Obama visited the caskets of eighteen fallen war heroes.  On the surface, this appears very compassionate and caring of the President.  But, this inaction is a stunt to give the impression of support for our troops.  Obama is setting up a media storm of tears for fears, to construct a somber response to a dire situation. 

Ultimately, the Democrats are setting America’s expectations of defeat to become the new victory.  Sending the boys home defeated will be the victory.  Expect an emotional smorgasbord of war-stories to surface.  People will cry and scream.  Pain will be the order of the day.  Books will emerge.  Michael Moore might do another movie.  Cindy Sheehan will be back from the media dust pile.  

It is certain that a scaled down response to Lieutenant General McChrystal request is sure to quietly pass from the White House chambers.  When he sends an army of “300” to do the work of thousands, he will claim to have drawn inspiration from the dead soldiers he saluted.  The liberal media will present the President as torn and heart-broken over his decision.

Bush will be blamed for the failure in Afghanistan.  Why should we expect Obama to be blamed for it?  After all, Obama was only voting ‘Present’.
