They re-elected the fool. http://www.freerepub...s/1473602/postsFree Republic? What a fair and balanced source. So Clinton arranged some rocks on the beach in the shape of a cross and the Freepers called that 'the most disgraceful photo-op in the history of the presidency'. Wow!Well that was in 1994, so I guess Clinton held that record until May of 2003, when Chimpy McFlightsuit (the AWOL Chickenhawk, who let other young men die in his place in Vietnam) pretended he was top gun and landed on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln (with his huge codpiece) to declare 'Mission Accomplished' in Iraq.Remember how Bush lied and blamed the crew of the ship for putting up that banner?Well as I live and breath. Is that a teleprompter I see in that picture?It can't be.I find it hysterical that many right wingers are outraged by Obama's photo-ops.Bush's landing on the USS Lincoln was one of the most audacious moments of presidential theater in American history.The GWB White House never missed an opportunity to showcase him in the most dramatic and perfectly lit settings and backdrops.For instance:For the prime-time television address that Mr. Bush delivered to the nation on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, the White House rented three barges of giant Musco lights, the kind used to illuminate sports stadiums and rock concerts, sent them across New York Harbor, tethered them in the water around the base of the Statue of Liberty and then blasted them upward to illuminate all 305 feet of America's symbol of freedom. It was the ultimate patriotic backdrop for Mr. Bush, who spoke from Ellis Island. http://edition.cnn.c...6/nyt.bumiller/
