While I may not agree with all he said (and not afraid to admit I do with some), I defend his right to state what he stated.

Will be interesting how this works out. 1|1|I heard the word "thin-skinned" used.. Obama says that it isn't that he was personally insulted.....I mean how true is that he shows up for 10 minute photo-ops and then disappears. The man loves the camera|suezz|clearys@comcast.net|15:13:27|06/23/2010|

He also doesn't seem to mind that he never seems to be photographed with a flag. And didn't attend Unknown Soldier's ceremony Memorial Day.

Grrrr. 3|3|I recall that the American flag pin in his lapel came late in the campaign. He was opposed to wearing it until his aides must have researched that not wearing one could be a problemm NOT a fan.|suezz|clearys@comcast.net|09:44:04|06/24/2010|

have had to pretty much give up Freedom of Speech. They are willing to die defending it BUT they cannot use it. Plus, it is highly recommended that the family members watch what they say as well. And yes, I speak on this from experience being married to an amazing soldier that would lay his life down tomorrow if it meant protecting this country.


I would recommend that everyone go to the Rolling Stones site & read the article BEFORE making any opinions about it.


Wishing that just as much focus was being put on the military that is in harm's way both in Afghanistan & Iraq. While the powers that be were having their "meetings" about Gen. McCrystal, we had soldiers dying overseas. Shaking head!!
