Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

I find it refreshing that a president is willing to adhere to the wishes of the families in this instance.

I like the idea that he took the time to see the effects of war on those that have given their life.

Whether you agree with the politics or not, is your personal opinion. Many others will have their personal opinions as well.

You and I disagree on this......however.......we do it with respect.

I have always felt that the presidents in the past have failed to present a picture of concern over the consequences of their actions.

I believe that of some but not all. I do not believe that Obama cares for our troops at all.

You are right and yes I have. The difference here is the more disgusting posts have been directed at persons on this forum as well as a former President.

I wonder if Obama has as many pictures showing him respecting our fallen soldiers compared to how many times we've seen his face on the TV shows? My gut tells me this is nothing more than a photo op because he doesn't have any respect for the military (he much prefers a police state). Added disclaimer for those who suffer from knee jerk reactions: The latter portion of my comment is just my opinion......okay?

Not to me. I believe he's demonstrated his lack of concern for our troops in the past and I believe he's also demonstrated his prime concern is about publicity for himself and to further his own goals. Frankly I think he'd stand on the bodies if it would help him. He disgusts me. I find him morally lower than Clinton. I feel his lack of concern for our troops to be less than LBJ's concern.

*sighs* Please remember.......I know many of those that serve and have stood at the funerals of far to many.

So then, you concede my point- the Taliban, who is our government's (not the American people's though) enemy of the moment, has not attacked our country in any way, shape, or form and poses no threat whatsoever to us.

They became a threat when they harbored Osama Bin Laden. You want to support a terrorist? You have just become an enemy. When they gave him support and a safe haven they made their choice.

Not necessarily pacifists; but we (the majority of Americans) are just common sense folk who are quickly realizing that we have been sold a bill of goods regarding this phony WOT and invasions of Iraq an Afghanistan which bear no relation to reality.

Maybe if more of you "common sense folk" had not voted for a Weasel, our troops could be home already.

Instead Weenie In Chief lets American citizens twist in the wind on foreign soil.

But hey, at least he got in "date night" with the Mrs.
