I was listening to the radio just a little while ago (Beyond the Beltway<\/a> was on) and the host, Bruce DuMont, was commenting on some stories in the news today. He read through part of an article in today’s New York Times<\/a>…<\/p>\n

On the afternoon he held the eighth meeting of his Afghanistan review, President Obama arrived in the White House Situation Room ruminating about war. He had come from Arlington National Cemetery, where he had wandered among the chalky white tombstones of those who had fallen in the rugged mountains of Central Asia.<\/p>\n

How much their sacrifice weighed on him that Veterans Day last month, he did not say. But his advisers say he was haunted by the human toll as he wrestled with what to do about the eight-year-old war. Just a month earlier, he had mentioned to them his visits to wounded soldiers at the Army hospital in Washington. \u201cI don\u2019t want to be going to Walter Reed for another eight years,\u201d<\/em> he said then.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I got a good laugh out of that. I seriously don’t think that’s something he’ll need to worry about. <\/p>\n

Of course, once he’s out of office in three years & change (that’s change I can believe in!) he’s free to visit Walter Reed as a private citizen, but realistically, how often will that happen? How often did it happen prior to him being elected to the Presidency? <\/p>\n

And one more thing to note in my never-ending quest to find fault in everything President Barack Hussein Obamma (mmm, mmm, MMM!) does, his speech last week not only managed to severely tick off his leftist base, he also preempted the broadcast<\/a> of A Charlie Brown Christmas<\/em><\/a>. Way to wreck Christmas, dude.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
