Obama Visits Kuwait, Afghanistan
Yesterday, out of pure curiosity, I listened to Sean Hannity's radio show. He brought on a caller, a returned military veteran, who said that all the troops he knew would boo Obama off the stage if he showed up at their base.
Not exactly a surprising sentiment coming from a Sean Hannity fan. But reality has a way of interfering with these right wing fantasies:
I don't remember ever seeing John McCain get a standing ovation, or compelling huge smiles from the troops. Bush pulled it off in the post-9/11, pre-Mission Accomplished days, but McCain is just too old and bland to inspire that kind of excitement.
Would you stand up and cheer if a tired, confused old coot walked into the room? Didn't think so.

I'm sure the troops would cheer if Bob Hope were coming to the base.
But, McBush is no Bob Hope. He's part of the reason why they're still there.
