| Obama Uses Return of Fallen SEALS for Photo Op |
| 2011-08-11 |
| Flack Carney explains: "The reason we were able to release a photo, is that it was carefully done so that none of the transfer cases that contained remains were in the picture . . . we were able put those restrictions and control the White House photographer so that the photograph that we released does not cause any of those problems." Besides, they needed some footage for Mission to Abbottabad. This jerk hasn't even earned the privilege of being on the same planet as the remains of those brave men. |

| #5 More likely a small fleet of handtrucks and gurneys for the relatives of the fallen, S, after the relatives learned who would be there with his photographer. Kinda like Rock Hudson in the last few seconds of Seconds -- only on an exponential scale. |

| #4 What a swine, an absolute embarrassment. The people who voted for this talentless, narcissistic self-absorbed clown should apologize to the nation. The man has no shame and no honor and no sense of decency. What possible purpose could the picture serve in honoring the fallen hero's? |

| #3 On Fax & Friends this am: Doucey was interviewing a family of one of the fallen SEALS as asked What do you think about Obama releasing a photo of himself saluting the coffins over the objections of some of the SEALS' families? SEALS' father's reply: "Was anyone surprised?" Brutal, and devastatingly on the nose. |

| #2 In case you have a difficult time telling which one is the obama, he isn't the silhouettes with hands on the heart, it is the one thumbing his nose. |

| #1 Don't say the man didn't do the least he could do. I have absolutely no respect for anything but the office at this point, but at least his staff got him there, even if it took (as I suspect) a handtruck. |
