It’s too awful to think that the President is so cynical, he would use the death of these brave and worthy men to prop himself up. One is inclined to hope ...
Liz Cheney Suggests Obama Honored Fallen Soliders For The Publicity
TPM Election Central —
Liz Cheney called out President Obama for his early-morning trip to honor fallen soldiers arriving at Dover Air Force Base yesterday, suggesting President Bush honored America's heroes with a bit more class than his successor.

Liz Cheney Criticizes Obama for using Fallen Troops as a Photo Op
Flopping Aces —
Rather than give the troops the reinforcements they need, Obama instead uses the dead for a photo op! What an ASS!
Obama’s one and only trip to the Dover Delaware Air Force Base which is the gateway for the bodies of all the nation’s war dead was a photo op that almost didn’t happen. 17 out of the 18 families refused their permission for the news media to cover this event.
Instead of a row of coffins coming back from Afghanistan, Obama got to use only one as a prop.
Readers may recall that President Bush met privately on numerous occasions with families of our fallen but he NEVER ...

I get the revulsion at photo ops with fallen soldiers, believe me, but look: He didn’t go to Dover as a prelude to pulling out. Even under the “McChrystal light” strategy he’s toying with right now, we’re still talking about a build-up of some kind. If he had gone to Dover as a prelude to pulling out, this photo would symbolize his willingness to abandon Afghanistan and, by extension, U.S. ...

The morning after President Obama’s impromptu trip to Dover Air Force Base, Liz Cheney had this to say:
There’s lying. There’s a pattern here… This White House needs to understand… every single day you ask them to serve without the resources they ask for without the reinforcements they need they are in more danger. I believe there is dithering going on and there is waffling…
