SIL is by no means a freeper but he almost always votes Republican here in our bright red state, he asked me yesterday if I knew what Obama had done and I said something about honoring the war dead and he said yep..

Then he told me Obama had done something bushie had never done and he even said bushie was not a real veteran..

He even remarked how crisp and precise Obama's salute was, as a Marine also I agreed with him.

I know I'm probably perceived by some here as an Obama basher so I just wanted to pass on something positive, my SIL is very proud of being a Marine and for him to speak well of Obama in a military capacity is an accomplishment.
