I give this about as much credence as I do sightings of Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, and alien rectal probes.

In 6 years in the US Army, deploying alongside the Marines, Seabees, a few Zoomies, and plenty of Airborne troopers, I've met fewer than a dozen who support Obama to ANY degree. Much more frequently I'll hear - unsolicited - commentary about President Obama that often required a reminder about regulations relating to decorum and proper respect for he C-in-C.
