Obama and his crowd may never want to know the focus of today! All sorts of lip service to the military....for SOMEONE ELSE's relative....and NO desire to support their function in any way... In a way, a lesser analogy is the energy situation we find ourselves in today. Who are the folks screaming the loudest about the price of gas? Yes, the very ones who have supported the House and Senators who have voted since 1970 to stop building of refineries, and really stop the drilling of oil. I was at a large gathering yesterday. One person was loudly proclaiming how expensive it is for oil/gas, and dumping on all the oil companies. I suggested she write the Congress and tell them what our Oil company CEO's should tell them: "OK, just write a law that prohibits us from doing business in the US"..... The person screeching about gas, said: "NO drilling in ANWAR"... I wonder if she even knows where ANWAR is or how small it really is. So I introduced the foreign concept to her that China and India are drilling 75 miles off FL as we were talking.... And said, "Do you think they are going to do a better job of keeping our FL beaches clean and protecting the wildlife...." Dead silence.
