:thumbsup:

[happygoluckytoyou]

71. was 150,000 IS 100,000...... and the answer is...... military in IRAQ....promises KEPT...

[obxhead]

122. yes, the end of shrubs surge did draw the troop count down in Iraq

Maybe one day Obama will keep his promise and actually reduce troop counts in Iraq like dim son did.

Now I'm in no way a fan of shrub, or a hater of Obama, but so far the troop with drawls in Iraq have been from the shrub admin, not Obama's.

[saltpoint]

2. It's a lift when a President visits soldiers when they're on foreign soil.

The evidence also suggests that this particular president represents about as big a presidential lift as it gets. It looks to me from the pictures that these people are damned pleased to see this president and to have him visit them in such a faraway place.

Great photos, Jackeens.

[HowHasItComeToThis]

66. BARRACK WILL TAKE THE ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY AWAY FROM THE REPUBS

HA HA HA

[saltpoint]

68. Obama is a good man and people pick that up about him.

Hes bringing a lot to the table. A very sharp mind and a genuinely good heart.

It's going to be very difficult for any of the potential GOP 2012 prez candidates to claim that turf on those terms.

[SolidGold]

94. You're exactly right! It's going to be a hard fight!

[lamp_shade]

3. Great shots. Thanks.

[Cha]

4. They love him..and were appropriatley

serious when he was giving his speech..I had a tear or two.

I just finisned hearing his speech right now.. thanks Jackeens for these pics.

[Cirque du So-What]

5. Somebody ventured over to freepville a short time ago

and posted freep comments to the effect that 'caucasian soldiers' would attempt to frag our President, and that the troops are 'repulsed by his touch.' Suck it, freeps. Suck it HARD!

[whathehell]

20. OMG...They really said that?....would I be dreaming to imagine that

some of the freeps were themselves, "repulsed" by those comments?

..I love Obama!

[proud2BlibKansan]

6. OMG! Check out that fascist marxist socialist symbol on the wall!!

:sarcasm:

[old mark]

90. I used to wear one of those on my uni. Still have one on a brass pin

somewhere, but starting to wear the enamel color off after wearing it for Veterans' Day for about 40 years...

Glad to see he met with some of the 82nd.

[trumad]

98. 2/504

Devil in Baggy Pants baby..

One of my prouder achievements.

[old mark]

99. 1/504, back in the black boot days.....

Welcome home.

[trumad]

109. Hay Street back in the seventies...

Honestly--- I don't miss Fayetteville.

[old mark]

112. What was that hamburger place - Paraburgers?

I never went to Fayetteville much after the first time, although I did buy an old shotgun in one of the pawnshops...for about $75 more than I would have paid for it back home.

I still have dreams about being in the army, and I have been out for almost 40 years....
Think they have had much of an effect?

:fistbump:

mark

[saltpoint]

7. Jackeens, I like all of the photographs. But No. 16 is strictly top-drawer.

Whoa.

[lunatica]

8. Ooops! He made a speech without teleprompters!

[FrenchieCat]

13. Soldiers trying to figure out why in the hell Limpball is such a liar!

[DeeDeeNY]

103. Does Rush still get broadcast to our troops there?

A few years ago, when W was in office, the Ed Schultz radio show was going to be aired to the overseas troops for some balance to Limpballs, but that didn't go through, and the troops were stuck with hearing only Rush's distortions and lies.
Thank you for such great pictures! Genuine smiles and not a plastic turkey in sight!!

[Turbineguy]

104. Rush is like

Lord Haw Haw.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

108. according to a friend who just got back, Beck, Limbaugh are on daily.

[DeeDeeNY]

113. Ouch

I don't get this, now that Dems are supposedly in the majority.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

124. Cheney and Rummie spent a great deal of time

removing generals who were not with the program, and promoting those who were. The key people who make things happen, especially determining how policy is followed, the majors, the colonels, and the junior generals, these guys are bible beating, republican supporting, neocons (even if most of the military is not).

remember the efforts the military used to prevent any further reports of torture by the CIA or the military? That is simply one facet.

[AlbertCat]

38. Ooops! He made a speech without teleprompters!

or a plastic turkey!

[Lifelong Protester]

9. Your photo posts always get me!

Thanks so much~ I have no idea of what your source is, but I sure look for your posts of the photos as they always give me a lift.

[Jackeens]

10. Hiya LP, they're all from www.daylife.com

I try to remember putting in the link every time, but my dottiness makes me forget

:blush:

:hi:

[smoogatz]

11. If I was in the military, the president I'd hate

would be the one who sent me and my buddies of to kill or be killed for no good reason. There have been several of those in my lifetime, including LBJ and Nixon--but the most recent truly egregious offender was George W. Bush, who never did manage to actually articulate his reasons for getting all those people killed and wounded in Iraq, at least in public.

[ChicagoSuz219]

12. Awesome photos! Thanks for posting! nt

[saltpoint]

14. It just really works that a Democratic President has such ease with the

men and women in the armed forces. It really works that he drops in unannounced of course, and by all appearances is as glad to see the soldiers as they are to see him.

I look over the soldiers' faces in these photos and read them as an abiding earnestness. It matters to them that he has come to speak to them. It matters to Obama that they are serving far from home in a dangerous place.

In the photo with Obama's foot up on the white rail, there's an engagement of spirit. Small 's' but very strong, it seems to me. The one soldier standing and clapping strikes me as a very authentic response. Is he supposed to be demure and official or is he allowed to express his appreciation and respect? I don't know. But he's clapping, and I can almost hear it.

Obama must have been possessed of the same ability to engage when he worked as a community organizer right out of college. Right after college, with his creds he could have waltzed into a big corporate law firm but instead returned to greater Chicago to work the neighborhoods, to build community.

[left coaster]

16. +1!

..and a big thank you to Jackeens for posting these photos!

[awoke_in_2003]

15. could you imagine...

what would have happened if Bush would have tried to pull off photo 13 (standing on the rail). Would have been another presidential blooper.

[tallahasseedem]

17. #29

Is one of the most hilarious pics I have ever seen. That woman's face is priceless! :D

[tomm2thumbs]

19. priceless is right!

woman or man - that picture speaks volumes about his visit!

[FailureToCommunicate]

135. #29: "I got the pix!!" Great, Jackeens, as always!

[Blue_Roses]

18. awesome pics!

where do you get these great pics? Thanks:D

[pengillian101]

42. Just right click on the pic and it shows you

the properties and the URL. :hi:

[RichGirl]

21. That smile!!

I've had the good fortune to see it three times. It lights up the room!!

[whathehell]

22. You've got to be one sick fuck to hate this guy...Even if you don't like his politics

He's so warm and personable...I can't imagine ANYONE but the worst racist pig disliking him personally...I love him!..Even when he disappoints me, politically.

Seriously..How can you NOT like this guy?!

[Kingofalldems]

23. I like that jacket.

I wonder if the public can buy one.

[Ikonoklast]

24. It's easy to get one just like it.

Just get yourself elected president, no biggee.

[Kingofalldems]

25. Thanks, I'll do that. Should be easy.

:P

[longship]

26. Wonderful pics.

Recommended and :kick:ed.

[SeattleGirl]

27. Shiny happy people!!

I love these pics!

[shireen]

28. LOL! those easter decorations crack me up.

:rofl:

nice photos -- a very warm reception indeed.

[liquid diamond]

88. I was thinking the same. That's a military base?

:rofl:

[liberal_patriot_md]

89. I've been there.

It's in the main dining facility at Bagram. That's what they do during the holidays. It's cheesy but it's nice too. If he would have been there next week, the senior staff (generals, sergeant majors, etc.) would have been serving the food that day.

[Grassy Knoll]

29. All great, but # 14 , this guy looking at the SS.......

kinda freaky.

[stlsaxman]

106. He strikes me as very thankful toward the guy...

[City Lights]

30. Amazing photos!

Thanks so much, Jackeens! :yourock:

[MrScorpio]

31. Of the 22 years in which I wore in an USAF uniform, I served under a Democratic CiC for 8 of them

And during that time, the US military experience its best reputation at home and abroad much more than the the rest of the years that I served under Republican CiCs.

Those Republican presidents only knew how to pay lip service to the troops, while all that time, they served the interests of the military industrial complex.

Democratic presidents like Clinton and Obama know that it's really all about what the country can do for the troops, as the troops serve the nation.

Believe, you me, the troops in these pictures know that as well.

[MrMickeysMom]

33. It sure seems that way when viewing these pix, MrScorpio...

... but it means more hearing somebody with 22yrs under their belt confirm it.

[Jennicut]

45. Nice to see your perspective. I remember under Clinton how much we were respected

and it all went downhill with Bush. Obama is trying to correct that.

[demigoddess]

47. military brat and military wife here, and I can see that too. When W was talking to troops

you could see a lot of reluctance. Not with Pres. Obama.

[HowHasItComeToThis]

69. YES YES YES

[sam sarrha]

32. because he makes them look like the pathetic narcissistic psychotic cargo cultists they are

[anachro1]

34. It's because

he is black.

Nothing more than that. Legally, they can't even threaten to lynch him.

That pisses them off to no end.

[AllyCat]

35. What a greeting!

I don't think the Chimposter ever got that kind of response. If he had, the media would have trumped it up and quintupled the crowd with photoshop to make it look better.

Despite my misgivings about his progress so far, this President can get the troops rallied and that is saying something. Now President Obama, bring them home.

[Glimmer of Hope]

36. I still can't believe he is Commander in Chief! It is so nice to all the

smiling faces and outreached hands.

[opihimoimoi]

37. Why???? EXTREME JEALOUSY.....Bullies are envious peeps...

[TheCowsCameHome]

39. My, what a hostile group.

He's lucky he got out alive.:sarcasm:

[defendandprotect]

40. Doesn't look like White House PR had to organize this . . .

Anyone remember Bush's fake appearances?


But, mainly, we need to bring these troops home --

after 8 years!!!

And the bankrutping of our Treasury!!

DOWN with the MIC and perpetual wars!!

[greiner3]

41. Wait a minute;

Where's the turkey?

[FrenchieCat]

43. Back in Texas after coming back from Haiti........

Where he belongs.

[BrklynLiberal]

52. lolololololololololololol

:rofl: :thumbsup: :hi:

[verges]

87. But at least he cleaned his hands befoere he came back. nt

[howmad1]

44. They hate him because he has a brain;

As opposed to the last prick who was president, and was totally brainless.

[jillan]

46. How much do you wanna bet that not one of these pics will make it to the msm tomorrow.

Print or TV?

[NBachers]

97. I saw the clips on the Sunday Night News

It showed a few people greeting him in the mess hall, but they looked restrained and polite. Nothing like the impact of these photos.

[calico1]

48. A big difference betwen Democrats and Republicans is

Democrats want to be respected, Republicans want to be feared. And I have seen such posts on other message boards from Republicans. They think being feared is a sign of strength. They just don't get that the best thing there is is for your country to be respected and for other countries to aspire to be like you

This President makes me so proud.

[Mad_Dem_X]

127. So true!

"Democrats want to be respected, Republicans want to be feared."

:thumbsup:

[RoccoR5955]

49. Guaranteed you won't see one word about this on Fox Propaganda. n/t

[democrank]

50. Thanks for the uplifting photos, Jackeens

~PEACE~

[BrklynLiberal]

51. None of those soldiers look like they were "ordered" to attend the meeting with President Obama.

They sure do not look unhappy to be there.

[cilla4progress]

53. The man brings tears to my eyes...

every time...

[skeewee08]

54. Thanks Jackeens for reminding me why I voted for him:-)

God bless our troops!!!!

[Kind of Blue]

55. Because he makes us feel GREAATTT for good reasons!

I just got a serious boost of energy just looking at those photos.

Thanks so much Jackeens :hug:

And now, fuck off, troll.

60. Great satire. I have to say satire because there's no way in hell someone could fit

so much stupid shit in one paragraph and mean it....... Or is there? Hmmmm.

[Spazito]

61. Damn, it's pizza night again!

Yesssssssssssss!

[southernyankeebelle]

57. Wonderful pictures. You know soldiers are great people they may not like a

particular president but they respect the office. You can't ask more than that.

[TxVietVet]

59. I'm sure the pictures are getting the conservanazis

all pissed off. I'd say the troops that are greeting him look like they are happy to see him. If you of you conservanazis who claim to be active military and hate Obama, you are not much of a troop. I served my country under Tricky Dick. We all knew he was a crook and he proved it.
So, it you don't like Obama greeting some happy and excited troops, do look at the pictures, toadie.

[Skip Intro]

62. I didn't like these kinds of pics with bush and I don't like them with Obama any more.

They use the troops as backdrop, as photo-op scenery, and both have that hero-worship-kinda-element that's just creepy.

Imho, naturally.

[TwilightGardener]

63. He's their boss. It's that simple. Sometimes the boss meets with the employees, sees what

they're doing.

86. Really? You're going to be that amazingly childish?

Call me a name because you disagree with my opinion?

Don't we see enough of that kind of non-thinking, reactionary vocalization from the tea party crowd?

[liberal_patriot_md]

91. .

They weren't a backdrop, this was genuine interaction.

And the troops do love this kind of stuff. So I guess you're just going to have to deal with it.

[Arkana]

64. That is a BITCHIN' coat.

The man makes leather look goooooooooood.

[ckimmy57]

65. Thanks for sharing

My son and I had the great fortune to meet President Obama and shake his hand.

[Historic NY]

67. Great pics as usual Jackeens...the POTUS has a sore hand tonight thats for sure.

[graywarrior]

70. What great pictures, and what a great bunch of kids they are!

[brewens]

72. You can't compare this to a babbling half-wit with a plastic turkey!

Oops, I guess I just did! LOL

[saltpoint]

73. "a babbling half-wit with a plastic turkey."

As assessments of presidential terms go, I think that one goes a long way to summarize the Dubya years.

Perfect.

[mike_c]

74. no fake turkeys?-- damn, it's nice to see someone other than Bush doing that....

[One Voice]

75. Awesome Jackeens!

Thank you for all your great photo threads,
I love 'em!
:hug:

[saltpoint]

76. And how many communiques will there be between the soldiers Obama

visited in Kabul and their friends and family back in Dayton and Omaha and Bakersfield? I bet many, and I bet they'll lift a lot of boats all around.

A mom or dad serving in Afghanistan this night can say to a daughter or son, "Guess who came to visit us this weekend?" And, "President Obama has a very busy job but he took the time to come see us, and we were really glad to see him."

There's a lot of good will generated by this president. It's a week before Easter or so, a day before Passover... and these soldiers are in an unfriendly place. "The Land of Bones," one writer called Afghanistan.

I keep looking over these pictures and the smiles on people's faces look awfully real to me.

Sharp jacket. Warm heart.

[saltpoint]

77. I hope they had some pie in the fridge for their surpriser visitor.

[Chisox08]

78. K & R

I have to say that is one sweet jacket.

The next photos should President Obama welcoming them home

[jenmito]

79. I guess he's using notes written in his palm since he has no teleprompter...

just like Palin claims SHE'S doing as she reads her speech from the notes on the podium (which he's doing).

[Irishonly]

80. Wonderful Pictures

It's good to see you.

[crim son]

81. What wonderful pictures!

I see them and am sorry about how some of us, myself included, have bitched that Obama has not lived up to our huge expectations. He is an amazing man and it feels good to be able to trust his judgement after all those years of having, basicall, a child in a man's suit as POTUS. We are really so very lucky to be living now and watching him make history.

[Phx_Dem]

83. He rocks that bomber jacket.

:7

[zonkers]

95. He does. Sometimes a bomber jacket can look goofy. Da Prez wears clothes well, right build.

Look pretty spiffy most of the time.

[Deadgnome]

84. Look at the second to last

It is amusing.

[Wednesdays]

110. "Hey, mom! You'll never guess who dropped in just now!"

"No, mom...it's not Carrie Underwood."
:rofl:

[sonias]

85. Looks live love to me

What a thrill for the troops!

:patriot: loveya:

[craigmatic]

92. nice jacket. n/t

[DFW]

93. And the REALLY amazing thing is:

He didn't even need a plastic turkey...........

[treestar]

96. They all look so miserable!

:rofl:

:sarcasm:

[dmr]

100. Awesome! Just awesome!

:hi:

[Enthusiast]

101. I must say,

President Obama seems so genuine.

I imagine he has real appeal to the men and women in uniform. Unless, that is, they are some sort of RW religious freaks.

[NecklyTyler]

102. K&R

[Vermontgrown]

105. Looks like adoration to me.

[jefferson_dem]

107. Another fab slideshow from Jackeens!

Thanks. By the way, this one has gone viral in TwitterLand.

http://twitter.com/#search?q=PHOTOS%3A%20President%20Obama%20with%20the%20troops%20

[Javaman]

111. Because Obama doesn't bring fake turkeys. nt

[kjackson227]

114. What a great way to start Monday morning. Thank You :)

[rasputin1952]

115. As a vet, the first thing I noticed was the ranks of those he was with...

I saw only one O-2, a First lieutenant...near as I could see beyond that, he was with the enlisted tanks, the privates and airmen; that is the sign of a leader. The generals, colonels etc usually get the photo-ops and what press the system wishes to put out there...but it is the lower enlisted ranks that get the jobs done when called upon...without them, there would be no military.

When this man walked into a Mess Hall, without an iodine painted turkey, and with individuals eating and getting ready for what will be a hard day, he raised the morale of soldiers, airmen, sailors and marines for the entire area. He showed he cared about the individuals, the men and women who bear the burdens in conflict.

During WWII, there were 2 generals that spent a lot of time with the troops, Omar Bradley and Teddy Roosevelt Jr., both of these men were lvoed and respected by the troops because they were there, in the thick of it getting first hand information and making decisions that affected how things would go. TR Jr went ashore on D-Day with the first wave, no other general officer was on the beaches and his presence made a world of difference and motivated pinned down troops to overcome wild odds.

What I'm getting at, is that a show of leadership to the troops is worth more in scheme of things than all of the platitudes, medals and hoopla that goes with military life. Taking a few minutes to talk with a soldier does more than one can realize.

Now, if the president can get our people out of there, we'll be getting just that much further down the road to making this world a tad more peaceful.

:patriot:

[Wednesdays]

118. OT, I didn't know that about TR Jr.

Kinda like the spirit of San Juan Hill carried on to the next generation. :)

[rasputin1952]

125. He was Asst Div Commander, 4th Infantry Division...

and had to threaten to take the issue to FDR to a go ashore on Utah Beach. His Division CDR, MG Barton agreed to TR Jr going ashore with the first wave, (with regret, thinking how it would be for him if TR's son was killed on D-Day).

Anyway, he went ashore on the first wave with the 8th Infantry Regiment and the 70th Tank Battalion, (side note here, when I was in the Army & stationed at Wiesbaden Germany, I was with the 4th Div and 1/70 AR, just an odd side note...:) ), and they landed South of where they were supposed to be. When asked by his Bn Cdr's what they should do, TR Jr stated, "We start the war from right here." They broke through the defenses and seized their objectives, for his forward action and leadership, he was awarded the Medal of Honor, (posthumously). He died of a heart attack on 12July1944.

He suffered from heart disease and extensive arthritis, but nothing ever got him down when leading his troops. He was a true to life "General of the Field".

Hew also had an exemplary WWI record.

A pic:



He is buried in the US Military Cemetery in Normandy:

[AnneD]

121. So true Rasputin....

So very true.

Obama is NOT, I repeat, NOT using the troops as a back drop. All these photos are amateur and the facial expressions appear real and the respect seems genuine and not forced. This is not an Officer's Mess Hall but an Enlisted Mess Hall (imho). There are no attempts at forced humour, just a genuine thank you from the CIC.

[rasputin1952]

130. What I saw in those pic's was a very real sense that PO cares

for the troops and was there to show them he cares.

bush, on the other hand, spent his time surrounded by high ranking individuals, with a few enlisted tossed in for "fluff".

There are ways a soldier "knows" he is cared about and for. On one occasion during Winter Operations in Germany, we were told to place our track behind a snow bank, no problem, but no one had given us the date/time group when the rest of the Bn would move out, we sat there waiting for word, but under radio silence, and the fact that someone forgot we were there, we waited in vain. We were out of fuel, food and it was dipping into the negatives temp wise. We gathered up what cash we had, dollars and marks, and 3 of us headed to town to get some provisions. We bought out the local bakery/deli of brotchen, ham, cheese and some other stuff, then on out way back, the Asst Div Cdr, a Brigadier, pulled up in his jeep. I was the ranking individual, so I was on the spot to talk to someone I had only heard existed. e asked me how things were going, and instead of the usual "fine, sir", I told him where we were,, we were out of food and fuel and would like to figure out where the Bn had gone. After showing him on the map where our track was located, we trudged back to our site. Within 15 minutes, we had fuel, hot chow and another track to lead us to the Bn. Thing is, w/o being straight up w/the general, we would have bee out there for a lot longer...these guys work for the enlisted men who have to carry out the orders, this BG realized that, and saved us from some serious problems.

Some officers were good, most mediocre, to downright bad. The same with presidents, we went from a disaster to a winner...I figure those men and women know that...:)

[AnneD]

138. Amen....

I was never shy to respectfully tell it like it was. I good leader always helps those under him to do their job. That is why we have such sorry leaders in Banking and business these days. They are too busy lining their pockets, often at the expense of the 'troops'. The tarp bail out is a classic case.

[peekaloo]

116. He's a divider not a uniter!

:bounce:

[classof56]

117. K&R with thanks, Jackeens!

Awesome photos and great way to start the week!

Blessings.

[saltpoint]

119. This thread is already riding high near the top of the heap, and

properly so, and therefore is not really in need of a kick, but damn it all, I'm kickin' it anyway.

Just try and stop me.

[SomeGuyInEagan]

120. Perhaps if he wore a flight suit and cod piece ...

... when visiting the troops. I hear they *really* respect that.

[Mad_Dem_X]

123. Look at all those smiles...

Warm, genuine smiles.

On a side note, isn't our President handsome? :loveya:

[bluestateguy]

126. I think he'll do OK with the military vote in 2012

The other side does not have a candidate with some special claim on the military and I also believe that there is an inherent predisposition for troops to support their commander in chief.

[Deep13]

128. The intense animosity in these photos is obvious.

That's probably why the Secret Service won't let POTUS get near the soldiers.

:sarcasm:

[Ticonderoga]

129. The Leather

sure looks better on Obama than it did on little boots.

[rasputin1952]

131. Little Boots wore rubber...kept the stench of fear from reaching the troops...

:D

[samsingh]

132. i'm starting to tear up.

i really like our President.

[samsingh]

133. i'm starting to tear up.

i really like our President.

[ThatsMyBarack]

134. He is hawt in that leather jacket!

:loveya:

[TrogL]

136. That's one big AA meeting

Didn't know Obama was a member but that would be an anonymity breach.

Guess somebody forgot to take down the sign.

[AtheistCrusader]

137. Imagine the smiles on the Army aviators that got to haul him around with the call sign Army One for

the day.

That call sign isn't used too terribly often.

[deutsey]

139. Where's the plastic turkey? n/t

[activa8tr]

140. Jackeens, I so love your photo spreads... it really is

too bad those troops didn't show him any love....

:D :D :D

[Catamount]

141. Thank you so much--these are truly wonderful!

[Cha]

142. They have a job to do and President Obama

went there to give them encouragement and our Troops responded with enthusiam!

[MindandSoul]

143. Because, no matter how hard they try, they can't find any dirt that sticks on him!!!

President Obama is just a GOOD guy. . .the fact that, on top of that he is intelligent, fair, has great social conscience and moral compass and. . .that he is soooo handsome are more reason for some people to hate him.

But, dirt doesn't stick because he is a deeply good soul!

146. This blog in the LA times is outrageously Manipulative!

It cherry picked this photo of Pres Obama and got one of bush where the soldiers were mobbing him like they do Obama in other pics. And, then it went on to talk about the two different styles of the presidents..and the comments underneath were naturally reflecting the photos.

Actually, it's not even this one..it's close but it's in the link below this pic..

I wish we could send a pic to this blog that reflects the reality of what really happened when the President went to Afghanistan.

Maybe I could send this link?:)
