            <description><![CDATA[Mail pops in the box the Friday after Thanksgiving: Am I just a cynic? Because the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this story was &quot;Phoning it inTo which I&nbsp;responded: Well, yes, you are. Bush did this too. But Bush made greater efforts to be with the troops. Gotta remember, this whole war thing is really a huge distractor to a community organizer.&nbsp; Taking over one sixth of the economy is hard work!﻿To which the Castle Correspondent responded: Yeah, but how hard is it to actually go to a base and sling some mashed potatoes at...]]></description>

                <![CDATA[I will grant it's easy for GWB in a personal and politcal sense.&nbsp; His welcome was always going to be&nbsp; warmer than Obama's and GWB has political allignment with the troops where Obama does not.<br />
<br />
The problem is there is more to this than GWB or Obama.&nbsp; I think GWB got it.&nbsp; Obama on the other hand has trouble doing something that isn't about himself and his goals.&nbsp; You can't really avoid that he doesn't give a damn and as the ultimate military leader of the USA, that's pretty sad.<br />
<br />
As you say &quot;who serves who these days&quot;<br />

                <![CDATA[You know, this is just another manifestation of the WH attitude that doesn't seem to express a recognition that we are at war.&nbsp; The CinC serving/joining the troops on Thanksgiving would <em>always</em> be a nice gesture, but it seems almost a requirement in time of war--it's not the action itself that is so significant, but the very doing of it is an unspoken statement of &quot;I recognize what life is like for you these days.&quot;&nbsp; Not visiting the troops on Thanksgiving was a serious misjudgment on Obama's part.<br />]]>

                <![CDATA[Apparently Petraeus took a page from GWB, <a href="http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2009/nov/27/little-missions-big-picture/" rel="nofollow">in more ways than one...</a>&nbsp; (don' miss the slideshow, too).<br />]]>
