President Obama traveled to Dover Air Force Base to witness the return of bodies from Afghanistan.

1. Wow, that is very emotional to watch
I can't imagine how it must feel to be there in person experiencing it. It's good that he was there, he needed to be.

2. As a former Marine...
...and as a dedicated citizen of this country which I love so much: THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT!

I got very emotional watching this... a lot pent up emotion, too, I must say.

I remember, today, why I left my warm bed in Illinois, and froze my butt off working for (then) Senator Obama's Presidential campaign during the Iowa caucuses, when everyone else was certain that Hillary was a shoe-in.

My faith in the man, and my country, is re-affirmed.

God Bless America!

3. It's well that Obama's good with this sort of thing....
because given his Afghanistan policy, the bodies are bound to keep piling up.

4. Hey wait......I didn't see his flag pin!
This has to hurt...as he knows that each day that passes is sending more young Americans to their grave...early. The pain felt by friends and family is monumental, and I'm sure this President understands that pain and suffering felt by this country.

Stop the war now! Get the f*ck out of there...and get home where we belong. We have other ways to spend our borrowed money and we don't need to give anymore blood for such worthless causes. Bin Laden is gone. We f*cked up our chance to find him. We went to Iraq to take care of the corporate interests FIRST.

Halliburton wins....we lose.
