Great clip. Of course there's a difference in setting and such. That doesn't matter to me, I know Bush is a great guy who was with the guys and didn't stand miles above them like Obama.
yes, there is a difference in setting. One man is lifting them up. The other is putting them down. Bush came to support and encourage the Marines. Obama came to set the tone and show the Marines who (he thinks) is running the show. Bush didn't need or would have even dreamed of demanding Pomp and Circumstance in his own honor. Yet, they honored Bush because he honored and respected and is grateful for them. O needed all the props he could get because the only one he honors is himself.
No matter where anyone stands politically, no true American should ever fail to stand with, by and for the brave soldiers that serve all of us, here, at home.
What a comparison this video makes - I'm dumbfounded. I'm of no particular party - I am a mom who is grateful for our freedoms; grateful for those who stand up, defend and deliver them, on our behalf (on any soil and with any means, from pen to sword). I'm a proud American. And I support our troops.
The posting of this video (to me) isn't as much a statement about one party over another (though I suspect some will take offense and look at it that way). No, it's a reflection of what was clearly there / not there; the truth of feeling held by both the leader and the lead simply "is" what it "is" and the comparison needs no words - it speaks for itself.
No matter what choices WE make, ahead, we owe those who fight for the freedoms our children hope to inherit, our deepest gratitude and most open display of warmth, connection and appreciation.
I believe in free will, free markets, freedom of the press and the freedom to root for a crappy team like the Detroit Lions.
I know though,that freedom is never free. We should all thank GOD that we have had freedom and for those men and women who have sacrificed through out this nation's history to give it to us to sit here today and discuss our thoughts and ideas!!! And if you don't believe in God thank those people anyway, because they fought to protect you to, that you may have that freedom also!!!!
Excelsior!!!!!!

Oh wow. What a difference. Very interesting.
