President Obama is no stranger when it comes to posting pictures of himself to celebrate different events, whether it’s Jesus’ resurrection, the anniversary of Rosa Parks’ refusal give up her seat on the bus, the Selma Marches, Nelson Mandela’s funeral or even the anniversary of the JFK assassination — just to name a few.
Yesterday, the president thanked our troops by tweeting yet another picture of himself. Apparently he couldn’t find a picture of our heroes in uniform.
Classic narcissist move:For Thanksgiving 2003, former President George W. Bush traveled to Iraq without the knowledge of much of the media or troops overseas.
Bush joined our men and women in uniform in Baghdad, to thank them for their service and remind them how much they are loved.
Bush was introduced by L. Paul Bremer, then the most senior civilian in Iraq, who was charged with reading a letter from the president to the troops.
When Bremer reached the podium, he wondered if there was anyone more senior on base, moments later, President Bush appeared.
“Thanks for inviting me to dinner, ” Bush said.
“I can’t think of finer folks to have Thanksgiving dinner with than you all,” after joking that he was just looking for a “warm meal.”
