You have to excuse me if I see nothing wrong with these pictures. I know Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michelle Malkin and all the other right-wing nut cases will try to paint this picture of President Obama only doing this as a publicity stunt but I find that accusation not only ridiculous but insulting. I believe its a great message to send to have a sitting President take time to pay tribute to our fallen soldiers like this, particularly with October being the deadliest month in Afghanistan and with the President’s decision on what to do in Afghanistan approaching. I find it not only humane but sobering and a great reminder that there are real people fighting and dying in these wars. They aren’t just names in a report. Maybe if the previous Administration, those currently serving in Congress or those Monday Morning Quarterbacks in the media that promote the case for more troops and more war spent some time recognizing the real faces of war, they wouldn’t be so quick to rush into something. I don’t envy the President and the decision he has to make nor do I believe that everyone is going to be happy with what he decides to do. That said, I for one am happy that he’s willing to not only honor those that gave the ultimate sacrifice for this country in this manner but also by making sure he has time to consider all options on the table before putting more people’s lives at risk.
