Obama’s welcome in Iraq was staged
“Cheered wildly by U.S. troops”, begins Jennifer Democratic Operative Loven’s AP report on Obama’s surprise visit to Iraq on Tuesday.
Quite a contrast to the silent treatment Marines gave Obama at his Camp LeJeune speech in late February. Just how did Obama manage to fix that little problem? According to a sergeant in Iraq :
We were pre-screened, asked by officials “Who voted for Obama?”, and then those who raised their hands were shuffled to the front of the receiving line. They even handed out digital cameras and asked them to hold them up. [Via Macsmind.]
As supporting evidence for the digital-cameras part of the story, the sergeant (or Mac, can’t tell which), suggests that the identical cameras can be verified in the AP photos. Looks right:
Charles Dharapak/associated press
So will the press cover this evidence of a staged and unrepresentative show of military affection for our anti-military president? The reporters were there. Did they actually see the troops being sorted by whether they voted for Obama, which the sergeant describes as happening on the spot?
Stephen Hurst’s AP report is upfront about Obama’s fervent desire for a hero’s welcome:
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama went for the defining television shot by capping his first extended foreign tour with a surprise visit to Iraq.
He got it – pictures of hundreds of U.S. troops cheering wildly as he told them it was time for the Iraqis to take charge of their own future.
Just no mention of HOW Obama managed to fake this response: Obama lovers to the front!

So…when are you going to post a retraction or an update to your post about Obama’s handling of the piracy incident being a failure?
ALL digital cameras look alike, you idiot! Next conspiracy theory please….
It’s kind of sad that troops had to be pre-screened for Obama supporters. I don’t remember that being done for Bush. Oh, that’s right most of the military supported Bush and considered him ‘their guy’ while he was President.
Great post. Honesty isn’t in the genes of a liberal Democrat. We’ll hear nothing about it. Which is why the blogs are of increasing importance.
Are you kidding?,
Have you ever been to the electronics section of your local Wal-Mart of K-Mart? Digital cameras come in all shapes and sizes. Some are black, some are grey, some are silver…
You just have no idea what you’re talking about.
haahhahaha lolll
man, I can’t believe this!!!
Obango Junior is a disgrace
drop with the Obama bashing already. i thought this was stoptheaclu.com not bashobamadailyandhopehefails.com. you wingnuts are all just teabaggers anyway
Obama having to stage support from the troops? How shocking. Course, if he hadn’t treated the whole organization like crap and repeatedly attempted to undermine their efforts, maybe he wouldn’t have to pull this crap.
“Oh, that’s right most of the military supported Bush and considered him ‘their guy’ while he was President.”
Shhh! Liberals don’t like that being mentioned, as it destroys their anti-war positions. I mean, think about it, whose opinion on a war counts more – the people that have to fight it (and largely end up re-enlisting to continue fighting), or the people that never had to fight it and get to be far away from the action?
Oh yes! This is a bash- the- bama -site. Didn’t you read the road signs on the way in here?
NOTE:My relatives work at KODAK so no foreign made cameras, please.
Speaking of my relatives, they are liberals but I cannot see any of them trying to hug the bama.
