“Indeed.”

“And then, also too THERE.....­yo­u betcha!”

“Hey P, remember when Bush first went to Iraq under darkness. I thought it was great. Remember when he was doing the photo op? He was holding the beautiful turkey, remember? Well did you know that turkey was fake. You may not know this either but Obama visits the troops to. You just don't hear about it. Mrs Obama makes military family issues her priority. Did you know that? As far as Bush doing a good job. He sent soldiers to their deaths in Iraq for no other reason but oil and avenge his daddy. If he would had done his job in the first place and left the troops where they should have been in Afganstain in the region of Tora Bora where they had Bin Ladin on the run. Those are the facts. You chose not to believe it. If Bush stayed where he should have in the first place maybe our soldiers would be coming home now. I want Obama to take his time to think about the mission and how to do it properly and get out safely. Believe me many soldiers I know are happy Bush is out of office. He always just let someoneelse do his job. Cheney was the real president and Bush just said bring it on. That's what you think is great. I was shocked he said that since I still have many friends on active duty. I will tell you many of the wives were very upset about that.”

“Your reply is scrambled: I don't get the connection between GW Bush et al being removed from the real would, and the extended video coverage of Obama. I haven't seen anything that the "FAMILY" wanted it that way. And besides, there were more than one family. Maybe some other families would have liked a more private ceremony.

But given that there were some reasons for the video, why was it so lengthy? The last clip I saw on the the TV was of Obama walking into the White House "alone," as the TV announcer put it. The clip before this was of the presidential helicopter landing on the White House lawn. There were even clips of Obama getting out of his car.

I know the networks are desperate for free content. So you can understand them trying to prolong the event as long as possible. But in going along with this, Obama seemed to be milking it for all it was worth.

I also question the length of the coverage on aesthetic as well as crass grounds. To me, the tighter and more focused, the more dignified and memorable. Too long, and it's sloppy--which the event was. Obama could have made whatever points he wanted to make with less video.”

“Undocumented residents. So all these "residents" need is a "document" and all well be well? Who's in a state of bliss here?”

“nice emotional ploy...how about addressing the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT issue? you know...the rule of law?”
