Sometimes a picture is worth far more than a thousand words. Obama has visited returning casualties from Iraq or Afghanistan only twice. The first time was on October 30, 2009. Now he has done it again. He refused to let the press cover the event, because he didn’t want any pictures. But the White House photographer “accidentally” took this shot without anyone noticing:
The main stream media is pissed because they didn’t get the chance to post their own adoring photo. The White House is already getting major pushback, so they released the following statement:
“The White House routinely releases photos taken by the White House photographers in specific circumstances where it would be inappropriate to include members of the media,” Carney said. “In this case, the White House released the photo, in the interests of transparency, so that the American people could have as much insight as possible into this historic and sobering event.”
Bill Clinton, had more class than this, and it is really hard to under-class Bill Clinton.

19 of the 30 families requested no cameras, If he could have had cameras I’m sure everyone in the media would have been invited. This was their way of getting around the families’ requests.
The more information that comes out about this event the more obvious that Obama was trying to exploit this for political purposes. I am appalled.
