Troops taking a few shots

Troops Eager to Take Obama's
Picture in Afghanistan

Really. Vanderleun has the story.    Yes, it was in fact American troops, not the Taliban, although I'm sure they'd be pleased as punch for the opportunity to take a few shots.  So, big whoop.  He is the nation's recognized president.  It reminded me of this. 

This was LBJ's motorcade as it sped past the crowd gathered at Denver's Stapleton Airport, in 1964. He could be seen behind the Cadillac limo's rear window, as he urged via a loud speaker, "Y'all vote for me next month!" The crown was very heavily comprised of peeps from Lowry AFB, and Fitzsimmons Army Hospital.  The people I was with all supported Barry Goldwater, as did Colorado.  Still, it was a big deal.
