1. Not to diminish the importance of these visits

but how surprised can they be anymore?

Third year in a row, the US President Barack Obama paid a surprise visit to a Marine base to show gratitude to the troops for their sacrifices, including being away from their families during holidays.

You just have to love the media sometimes.

2. yeah

The real surprise would be if he neglected to visit these troops.

3. That's weird.

Obama has been president for just two christmases (2009 and 2010).

4. Why is that weird?

Are you suggesting that a president elect shouldn't visit the troops?


Your comment is weird.

5. Joe and Jill Biden at Walter Reed, glad that was covered, too! Does anyone...

remember Bush and Cheney doing this EVER on Christmas?

I certainly don't. I think it didn't happen with the Bush/Cheney warmonger admin.
Am I wrong?
