President Bush meets retired Army Sgt. Neil Duncan (left) and Army Spc. Max Ramsey for an impromptu jogThe Drudge headline linking to the story where this picture appears reads, "President Bush has written to family of every single fallen soldier". The article, from The Washington Times, is worth reading here, but the basic fact is worth noting by itself.
Vice President Dick Cheney, an avid fly-fisherman, practices his cast with wounded troops from Walter Reed Army Medical Center during one of the half-dozen barbecues he's hosted at his Naval Observatory home. (White House photo)
What will this next president do for the combat cause? Will he just make photo ops with Tami Duckworth and other anti-Bush veterans who tug at our heartstrings? Will he show his hate and immature understanding of the right-wing military-types in their midst at the White House, turning these uniformed officers into waiters for parties as the Clintons did?
I remember that his much-ballyhooed visit to Europe and subsequent snub of one of our military hospitals while there was barely addressed by the Tom Brokaws of our 5th column, not even a memory only weeks later, when Brokaw remarked to Charlie Rose, "I don't think we did a good enough job of getting to know Obama".
