Well, even though nobody I know has ever described our POTUS as empathetic or even sympathetic, he reached a new "low" when he, in an effort to display his reverence for our fallen soldiers, called the wife of one of them to express his country's sympathy. That would have been all great and good, had he not added an offhand comment something to the effect of "He knew what he was signing up for."
So....I grew up in a military family and my father was a fighter pilot. Believe me, the families of combat military KNOW what they signed up for, and hope for the best every time their loved one has to walk out the door and into harm's way.
It's hard to believe how this POTUS is so obtuse to the feelings of others, so I started this thread to accumulate a list of his "gaffes", so to speak. I'm hoping that it won't turn into yet another Conservative vs everyone else thread.
So...add to it what you want...and I'll repeat the first:
"He knew what he was signing up for!"
There are thousands, I know...just post your "favorite".
Cheers!
