Is that the only question you have?
WASHINGTON — President Obama heads to Fort Bliss in Texas today to thank troops for their service before addressing the nation from the Oval Office tonight about the end of combat operations in Iraq.
So the man wanted to buy shrimp in peace, and I don't get why you put in the link at the end, I'm sure he would have finished the shrimp in the three days that passed.
He sure hates them ****in troops hey Ockham.
Did you glean anything else?
Lets see, in the first photo, he's politicising, in the second one, he's spending time with his family, and then three days later, 7 soldiers are tragically killed, and he's back to politicising in the link Jet posted.

Since Presidents really never are off the clock even on vacation... do you think when he was spending time with his family, President Obama was made aware of 2 American troops from VT killed on Aug 25th or do you think Obama would have been made aware a some days after?

The first picture is insincere politicizing that people still fall for each time they're shown it no matter how cheesie it is. He may as well be kissing babies.
The second picture DOESN'T tell me he doesn't care. It just shows me he likes to spend a lot of money and go on vacations.
So in this thread, we learn 2 things:
1) In entirely different situations, Obama acts differently(I know, shocking).
2) Some people will still stoop to using the death of US troops to score political points.
Then: October 29, 2009.
A run up to the Presidential election. Then President elect Barack Obama makes a un-publicized deviation between campaign stops and keeps out the picture taking press. Only the White House Press Corps was with the campaign to take snap-shots. In the pre-dawn hours, Obama salutes 18 fallen dead from Afghanistan. This is reported in the media as a sincere reverence to our fallen soldiers.
Now: August 26, 2010.
President Obama is thrown questions while vacationing in Martha's Vineyard with his family. The press pushes President Obama on multiple questions including one about Iraq while the President and family are at Nancy's Restaurant in the Oak Bluffs section of the Massachusetts island. President Obama turns to the press and says: "We're buying shrimp, guys," the president said, smiling. "Come on."
On Aug 29th, 2010 7 soldiers were killed in Afghanistan.
"We're buying shrimp, guys."
2) Some people will still stoop to using the death of US troops to score political points.
Except when Shrimp buying is at hand... then priorities get shifted.
Conservative businessmen spending a lot of money: TRICKLE DOWN GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY MY RIGHT MY MONEY.
Liberal president spending a lot of money: RAAARRRGH
