The true cost of war. Obama honored the return of 18 fallen Americans Thursday at Dover Air Force Base. The dramatic image of a president on the tarmac was a portrait not witnessed in years. An 18-year ban on such coverage was lifted this year under Obama's watch. The naysayers and Righties will have their opinions, but this is how a President represents his country and reminds himself, as well as all of us, how important one life is. Who else could have spread this message? Obama's respectfulness and innate decency threatens his foes. You can't blame the guy for taking the matter head on, either. You don't see him hiding on his "ranch". Source: HuffPo
