Tonight President Obama Left at almost MN to fly to Dover and honor the dead that will be arriving tonight from Afghanistan....


In my lifetime I do not remember ANY President going to meet the arriving dead as they arrive at Dover. I know Bush didn't, or his dad, and I don't remember Reagan or Nixon doing it, or LBJ...or Clinton ? Anyone else find this amazing ? Moving...stunning...To me it says how much he is wrestling with this decision...I will post more on this tomorrow....
