Do you think President Obama's trip to Afghanistan has anything to do with changing the subject from health care? The seven months between now and the November elections will be all about obscuring the fact that the Democrats codified the most extensive welfare entitlement since the Great Society. They will talk about busted militia groups in hopes of replaying the 1990s, threats (real and imagined) against congressmen to engender sympathy (deserved and undeserved), and a million other topics extraneous to health care. When you are proud of your victory, you take a victory lap. When you aren't you rush into the locker room before the referees have second thoughts.

Just as what he thinks of his country, he could give a fat rat's a$$ about Afghanistan or our troops.

Sending thousands more of our finest young people to fight an unwinnable, undeclared guerilla offensive against primitives where most times we are unsure of who is friend or foe, with watered down political correctness driven rules of engagement where an expiration date has been set points to a President, again, posturing for political purposes.

A diversion? You bet! The worse thing is that he has such disrespect for the intelligence of the American people and our troops that he thinks we buy it.
