Yep. It was one of the first things the new President Obama did.

He passed the "Dover test." As in - going to Dover AFB when the flag-draped coffins of the latest war dead returned to American soil. To greet them as their Commander-in-Chief, and show a visible thank-you with his solemn presence, for their service and their ultimate sacrifice. chickenhawk bushie boy couldn't be seen doing this. GOD FORBID! Might actually remind America that our precious young ones were being fed into the bush/cheney/blackwater/halliburton meat grinder over there. They didn't want to trouble our "beautiful minds" about that icky stuff. What you don't know won't hurt us, America, you gullible chumps! Outta sight, outta mind, dontchaknow.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
