4. Not a chance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not a chance the military will like him!
Look at all those folks, forced to be there, forced to smile, forced to fist bump and take pictures.

Jackeens, you did it again, proves that Obama will never be liked by his military while he is commander in chief.

shoved behind Bush for every ginned up photo-op under the sun...

It must feel good to have a real leader.

Pictures of our military.
Pictures of our military smiling.
Pictures of our president.
Pictures of our smiling president.
Pictures of joy that sanity has returned with our new Commander-in-Chief.

I love your threads, Jackeens, I save them all on my hard drive. Many thanks.

29. I see white people!
And whaddaya know. They like him! They really like him!

(And he really seems to like them too. Unlike the previous "president" who thought the movie was all about him, and the real soldiers were just extras.)

30. just wait ... the secessionist nation of freeptardia will take #14 and say
"Look ... they're giving him the Nazi salute! What a fascist!"

of course, anybody who actually looks at it would see it's most of the military people holding up cameras ...

33. Yep, they really "dislike" him ~ according to Repubs
LOL

I believe that Rove was not able to mess with the Military votes this time.

My other sense of pride is that OBAMA quietly wears his flag pin and never brags about it.

It is always on him and now our flag is once again a source of pride instead of that fake flag waving done with GW.

:patriot: thanks for the photos
