Okra: Worth It's Weight In Gold.
But very, very light.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

I'm not even saying that the carefully staged photo-op was "wrong" but let's not be so naive as to pretend that there was anything unintentional about the message it was designed to send to the country.
The message was not "Our soldiers will all be home by Christmas" though. That's the point. The message was "We just kicked some butt, and we'll continue to, so support what we're doing...".
I'm not saying there wasn't a planned message there. It's the ludicrous opposition spin that so many blindly repeat that I'm referring to.

I do know this. You're not "wealthy". You're not even "Tennessee Wealthy"

I found what I was looking for, but I'll keep looking for it anyways
I accomplished what I set out to do, but I'm going to do it some more.

Saying that people were upset that everyone wasn't "home by Christmas" is a gross misrepresentation of what was going on. They were upset because, a year after Bush flew in in his jet fighter and said "Major combat operations have ended" in a staged photo-op in front of a banner bearing the advertising slogan: "Mission Accomplished", the number of American soldier deaths that month would be 200% what they were in May 2003. In May 2005, it would be 200% again. In May 2006, it would be nearly as many. In May 2007, significantly more.
That's why. Not because of some bullshit "home by Christmas" strawman.
*Edit: I originally said "as many" which isn't true. On average, we have had ~7% fewer soldiers in Iraq since "major combat operations ended". At its lowest point, we had ~24% fewer. At its peak, we had 13% more. But we had 150k in May '03 and average ~140k between May '03 through summer of '08. Don't say I never corrected myself.

I still don't understand what the problem was with the gifts the Obamas gave Her Maj.
An iPod with video of her trip to the US included? A signed music book? There's nothing wrong with that at all.

Because some people have an inane predilection for becoming distracted by the smallest of trivialities. Did you see what Mrs. Obama was wearing? Scandalous! Flag burning? For shame!

She was wearing a burning flag? That's hot!
Do what now?

The signed music book by Richard Rogers was a great gift, I don't think anyone had a problem with that one. It'd have likely made a perfect gift by its own and no one would've taken notice. It's the addition of the iPod which set off alarms in terms of gift etiquette.
Amusingly enough, if Obama gave Gordon Brown the iPod, we wouldnt be talking about this right now.
It would be pretty funny if the 25 DVD set was Region 1 though.

And the Obama administration has stopped using the word terrorists to define our enemies in this war.
When did terrorists become a catch-all for brown people? There isn't even an international definition of terrorists.
I'm not saying that this is a problem but personally, I'm much happier that the Obama Administration chooses their words more carefully rather than throwing generic *** labels left over from the dumbest White House ever.
Reagan called them Freedom Fighters.

No, really, popularity polls don't even bear out what you are saying. It's YOU and other republicans that are waiting for our administration to fail so they can regain power. You'd call Democrats traitors for doing half as much. Really, you are just being unpatriotic if you want the country to fail for your own gain.

Unemployments at it's highest level in more than 20yrs. We can thank Obama for that.
Really? Obama? You're laying this sh*t on him? Without so much as a 'How do you do?' to the Bush Administration when unemployment then was the lowest in 20 years at the time?

Kael,
And here I thought low unemployement was a good thing.
Yes I'm laying this on Obama and his "economic recovery plan". He was elected when? The second W was elected you sought to undermine his authority and de-legitamize his presidency labelling everyone stupid who didn't fall in with that mantra.
And W's administration liberated millions. So far all Obama's plan has done is set the groundwork to enslave millions through extreme taxation.

You mean by questioning the election results? That Gore won (popular election) in 2000?
Let's play it your way with Dubyah. 8 months after he was elected, September 11th occurred. According to your infallible logic, that should be more than enough time for the president to set a country right. If you honestly think Obama is in charge of this crisis, and you just said you were, you must believe that September 11th is a direct result of W's security plan. I mean, he was elected when?
As for Obama enslaving millions, well hey, Varrus' racism strikes again. You could always use a more appropriate (but still completely wrong) term, but instead choose "slavery." Good going, Varrus. And which groundwork is this? You're very vague; it's tough to give proper correction when I'm guessing even you have no idea about what you are writing.
