This would be more meaniful if he had done it without the press coverage. Maybe then if a photo leaked out and major media didn't run the story...he's get more credibility as being sincere towards the best interests of the troops. All this looks like is a precalculated photo op to fit neatly into Obama's delay in troop deployment reasoning. He's addicted to the press coverage and it comes off making him look insincere. Integrity = FAIL!
Obama doesn't control the press dumbass... If he was there, the press is going to cover it. The delay is because of the run-off election, don't you follow the facts? I think you are way off base on the rest of your comment. Obama is doing a fine job so far, you just dislike smart, hard working people.
Hey idiot...it's an Air Force Base! You can restrict anyone you wish...especially if you're the President. You're already showing ignorance in your reply.
You make things worse by falsely thinking that the main factor is the Afghan election. You're watching too much liberal media. "It's all about me" is the Pharoahs motto. To borrow a line from Alan Grayson...he's a media whore!
The DOD had restrictions on the press photographing the return of remains of our forces.
It's the defeatist liberal left that thinks creating the impression of a losing effort will push their agenda and hasten a withdrawl from a mission not yet accomplished. It's Obama's special interest base which is pressuring him to withold supply the adequate number our commanders need. He is sabotaging is own stated goals because he is back pedaling and pandering. You should really educate yourself bub!
No, it was President George H.W. Bush in 1991 who placed the blanket restrictions from the Gulf War, not the DOD, it was then President Obama in February 2009 who lifted the restrictions.
It is time for us to be honest about the true costs of the Wars, not cover it up like Republicans are prone to do.
According to your reasoning, it's Obama who is then using the opportunity for a photo op to reinforce his motives to delay. It's ironic that he is at Dover to try show respect, yet he fails again because he's not supporting the military leaders that give him the straight facts as they see them on the ground.
It's too bad Obama doesn't think being honest about transparency & the true cost of healthcare reform is something we would like to see either
Where was he during the first 10 months?? Why does he choose to go now? Where was he for the other +300 KIA's this year? I guess they don't rate hmm? No, there's no coincidence about the timing of this late night photo op for Obama. He's using this opportunity to justify shorting McCrystal's assessment and request for minimum troop levels to complete the job asked of him by Obama. Whether he likes it or not, he's a war-time President and he better start stepping up and showing some leadership.

But as long as they are doing their job, why would there be any restriction? Obama is the most open President we've ever had, so relax.
No, the fact is, the run-off IS the reason for the delay. That's not a lib or con view, it's just a simple fact.
You're just poorly educated, let's leave it at that.
