#1 Now that's what I call speaking truth to power.

#2 I LIKE her. Giving a stiff middle finger to super Zero takes guts.

#3 Good for her - the meeting would be protrayed as an endorsement of Zero's policies.

You didn't actually think Zero was going to meet with the families to actually _listen_ to their concerns did you?

Its a photo-op to take some of the heat off - nothing more.

#6 If she did that (flip him off and tell him what an ass he is) it would never be reported by the MSM - except perhaps as an incident of RIGHT-WING HATRED!!!!! and RACISM!!!!!

#7 Get through the commercial and watch this interview -- she's now "sorry I voted for him." One upset Mom.

How stupid did she have to be? Voting for Obama because you hate Bush is called cutting off your nose to spite your face.

#8 and just what did she expect from him? It's not like he wasn't showing his true colors all the way through the campaign.

#11 If I were a relative of one of the Cole sailors, and had I been invited, I would have gone, and I would have hoped to ask the President this question:

"Sir, I know you have some background in constitutional law based on your teaching days at the University of Chicago. I do not understand why we should provide the perpetrators of the attack on the Cole the same basic rights that you and I enjoy under American law. I remind you, sir, that these individuals are not US nationals and consider themselves to be at war with America. So would you please explain this to me?"

And I would have insisted, gently, on an answer.

And I would talk publicly about his response.
