    Weep for me.

    Yes, but does he still sleep well every night?

    When his dreams are haunted by the screams of our men and women in uniform who've just been tagged by a sniper or an IED, I'll take that tear to mean something more than a political photo-op.

    That's all this president is good for. Having his picture taken. He's like a glorified Chamber of Commerce member.
