Before Conservatives and Republicans get too"outraged” over the president’s so-called victory lap on the first anniversary of SEAL Team 6 killing Osama bin Laden, and Obama’s secret visit to Afghanistan the other day.  Let’s all try to keep this in perspective.   

Of course this visit had political overtones--Obama is a politician.  This is what politicians do.  Besides,  visiting troops in a war zone is what the Commander-in-Chief should do as often as possible.  It's called boosting troop moral.  We have a strong suspicion based on the faces of most of the looks on the soldiers' faces,  that the majority of our troops really appreciated the president’s visit, well, maybe not so much for the soldier with the president's elbow and armpit in his face.
