President Obama, I too support our military...but...please just take them home...let the Mideast do what it will do within their own country. America has the military might...if we really need to do something we can do it, and fast! (I know the republicans...i.e. Cheny/Bush kept it going for their rich friends). Actually, this sham of 2 wars could have been over very fast...without the loss of so many of our young people, and...at heart...we all know it! Please just recall all our military personnel, unless America is serious about fighting and if this is the case then get in and get out, better yet...let our military fight and the politicans be dammed.

I am very proud of President Obama and I am glad that he is thinking things through on Afghanistan and not letting the hyperbole of some quarters pressure him into hasty decision making. We are already paying the price for that now.

President Obama has done what no other President has done in support of our troops and it's past time for the rest of the country to do the same. It's not about President Obama it's about our troops and I support him because he will make the best decision.

When Obama said during the election process, "Our Troops
are air raiding and bombing civilians" Gov. Palin was right
then and she is right now. When she said Obama isn't
Qualfied to be CIC. I hope other Alaskans let Obama
know he isn't welcome here in Alaska, and he possible
could be, if he apologized to the the American
People and the troops for those words.

this while he sits on his hands and leaves our troops in Afghanistan high and dry while he calculates his most politically prudent move. He is a horrible joke of a President. Does anyone remember that he already announced a strategy for Afghanistan at the beginning of reign?

Hopefully maybe he will have another summit or maybe he will give a nice speech, or maybe he will give a " shout out" to his peeps.

what a horrible joke he is.

Now, this is worthy of your "ticker". Our troops, our President,
our Country.

I think it is good that our presidents thank our brave servicepeople in person. Kudos too to Michelle Obama for focusing on support for military families. Their sacrifice too is great.

President Obama and his wife, First Lady Michelle Obama sincerely care about our military personnel and their families and will formulate and implement policies and executive orders that will improve the lives of our service members. I like the fact that President Obama directed the establishment of veteran recruitment drives in federal agencies and offices that oversee such recruitment in each federal agency. Furthermore, President Obama has increased the budget for the VA and promises to end veteran homelessness in five years from now. He also promised not to arbitrarily put service people in harms way and will only do so when objectively neccessary. The military is in good hands on Obama's watch!!

At least he finally learned there are not 57 states like he said during the campain. I guess reading "America For Dummies" has paid off.

Now he has been to every state, correct? And to think Sarah Palin missed this photo op. She could have gotten off the bus, flew to Alaska and snowboarded back to meet our President.

Not the 57th state as he said during the campaign?

This is a false prophet speaking. He speaks with a forked tongue. He wishes for the soldiers to fail therefore no help is forthcoming to their war in Afghanistan. If I were the Generals I would make decisions for myself. Either take this country over because we are being traitored on and either furish our soldiers what they need or bring them home. Then hope no one gets in the way of military control of the United States who needs some guidance. We are not getting it now with the constitution of the United States being shredded by one bill after another. DO NOT TAKE GOD OUT OF A COUNTRY BECAUSE THAT COUNTRY WILL FALL.

Go military we love you!

Why doesn't Obozo honor our fighting men and women by listening to the pleas of General McChrystal and send reinforcements NOW. I hope Barry and Micki enjoy their 9-day galivant through the Orient while our military remains in Harm's Way and millions of Americans are out of work!

Pathetic and weak, period!

How can he say he will 'fully support the military' when he's waffling on sending the troops they need to Afghanistan? The man lies every time he opens his mouth.

God Bless the USA and God Bless our President!

Thank you President Obama, and keep the General 'Close'

Obama paying tribute to the military while he leaves our troops in Afghanistan without the support his own hand picked General says they need for months! How do you spell Hypocrite? O B A M A! Send the support or bring them all home and accept the consequences Mr. President. Stop the dithering our troops need help!

Maybe obama can reverse the assine law Bill Clinton put into place where our military can't carry weapons on military installations for self defense. So maybe when the next Muslim Jihadi tries shooting up a base, our military people can at least defend themselves.

So when is the big O going to make a decision on Afghanistan...just before he leaves office in 2013?

How quickly we forget: May 9, 2008: "It is wonderful to be back in Oregon," Obama said. "Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it."

Thank you, Mr. President!

As a member of a multi-generational military family, I have great confidence in your ability to put the best interests of our armed forces and our country first – and to take care of our veterans when they return.

Keep up the good work, Sir!
