		you know where I stand politcially and love, absolutely love to bash Obama, but....... 
 - see below  
This is pretty crappy imho. The president is making a war speach, granted 90% of it will be BS, but still we should keep our dirty laundry to ourselves and at least appear to be united. Is this normal? I dont remember this type of response from dems or repubs in the past, every time there is a speech. 
 
 
CNN) -- House Republican leader John Boehner will lay out a "prebuttal" ahead of President Barack Obama's prime time speech on Iraq Tuesday night. 
 
Boehner will speak to about 10,000 people Tuesday afternoon at the 92nd American Legion National Convention in Milwaukee on Iraq and other national security issues, including Afghanistan and the Middle East. 
 
Obama's Oval Office address is timed to coincide with the official end of the U.S. military's combat mission in Iraq. 
 
In an op-ed published Friday in the conservative news site Human Events, Boehner said Tuesday's shift of U.S. forces from combat to an advisory mission "was made possible by the very surge that President Obama and Vice President Biden opposed.

		 I've been working at the Norton TPC for the PGA tournament all week.  Today was a tourny directed at honoring veterans and helping fund programs for those that come back home with PTSD or Tramatic Brain Injuries. 
 
I met one today that was injured and suffered a TBI at 19 years old while in Iraq.  Heart-breaking. 
 
Anything that takes away from the accomplishments of our finest men and women and the sacrifices they make every day is shameful and will hopefully be avoided.

 The more I work with veterans, young and old, and see the direct impact and consequences of the sacrifices they make every day for us just furthers the immense amount of appreciation and respect I have for what they do.

		 Not much has changed. When my father had to retire because of a service related accident, all my mom got was a small pension and a free funeral shortly after.
