All the above died in the last two weeks serving our country. The media is telling us that Obama is having a real bad couple of weeks, because finally, in the words of the immortal Rev. Wright, seems like Obama's chickens have come home to roost.
I think of the families of these American Heroes and I hope you will forgive me if I don't feel sorry for the Thug-in-Chief because the pleasure of rubbing elbows with the Hollywood scum was tarnished by the evolving scandals that are coming out from every crack of this administration.

To all the above Heroes, my deepest gratitude. To their families my heart felt condolences. To Obama...go screw yourself, with all due respect, of course.

Just my thoughts
