Here's the real story of the day. Perhaps Obummer should have gone to Louisianna and saved himself the embarrassment of Ft. Bliss.

Guess you don't get that it was not a campaign stump and was a commander-in-chief speech to thank the troops. It was not supposed to be a pep rally. Go look at the ordinary speeches past presidents have given at military installations that were part of the job of the commander-in-chief.
I didn't say it was a campaign stop so quit putting words in my mouth. You missed the story. The troops gave him the cold shoulder. It was very obvious they we ordered to be there, stand respectfully, and listen. They were not disrespectful, but they sure withheld their "love"
No, you are missing my point. You are saying they gave him the cold shoulder. They did not. That was clear from watching his speech. Guess you didn't hear anything or see all of the cell phones taking picts and recording. They responded as any group does when the boss gives a speech. You seem to think this means something. It doesn't. It was not a campaign speech. It was not a pep rally. Again, go look at speeches from previous admins under the same context.
