“Cheered wildly by U.S. troops,” begins Jennifer Democratic Operative Loven’s AP report on Obama’s surprise visit to Iraq on Tuesday.

Quite a contrast to the silent treatment Marines gave Obama at his Camp LeJeune speech in late February. Just how did Obama manage to fix that little problem?

According to a sergeant in Iraq :

*****We were pre-screened, asked by officials “Who voted for Obama?”, and then those who raised their hands were shuffled to the front of the receiving line. They even handed out digital cameras and asked them to hold them up. [Via Macsmind.]****

As supporting evidence for the digital-cameras part of the story, the sergeant (or Mac, can’t tell which), suggests that the identical cameras can be verified in the AP photos. Looks right:

People like tax cheat geithner and summers came from the banking sector, they're cut from the same cloth, there is very little confidence that they can think outside that box for any creative solutions, too many strings and early associations are attached to these two croneys... you may not like Romney, but he has more REAL LIFE business experience than those other two clowns combined... and if you would veto Romney, I well imagine there are still dozens of pretty savvy people who can arrive at some brilliant solutions, some of them are right here at SI...

and please don't put Romney in that category.

BTW, certainly, Romney is not it that category, he pays all his taxes, and on time too...
