I thought he was going over to hand deliver a very large sum of cash.

There will be a great foreign policy announcement to follow (which may or may not conveniently deflect from his SEALworship, which he's taking fire for).
Hell, President Bush got it. And if you're gonna hand-deliver something to the AO, feed something besides your ego and leave it to this crew.

And on our dime. Purely for the purpose of obama being the center of attention. This has nothing to do with the military. He got slapped a bit for parading the OBL take down.

Daughter just mentioned she was asked to go last night. She said she had work early and went to bed. According to her companion that went, every other word to the troops was apparently 'Hooah' from the POTUS. Maybe his tele-prompter got stuck.
