    Obama makes surprise visit to Afghanistan for Memorial Day






    President Obama has made an unannounced visit to Afghanistan this Memorial Day weekend, Fox News has learned.

    The president landed at Bagram Air Field, in Afghanistan, at about 8:30 p.m. local time, or 11: 46 a.m. Eastern time.

    This is the fourth trip of his presidency and the first since May 2012.

    Also making the trip with Obama on Air Force I is National Security Adviser Susan Rice, senior White House adviser John Podesta, whose son is serving in Afghanistan, advisers Dan Pfeiffer and Ben Rhodes, and country music star Brad Paisley, who will perform for troops during the visit.

    It's been ten years since that lonely day I left you
    In the morning rain, smoking gun in hand
    Ten lonely years but how my heart, it still remembers
    Pray for me, momma, I'm a gypsy now

        A nice Presidential looking move. The troops will enjoy the concert I'm sure.
        If it pays, it stays

            Very cool. I'm sure the troops will appreciate it.

              Brad Paisley..so cool for the troops.
              May we raise children who love the unloved things - the dandelion, the worm, the spiderlings.
              Children who sense the rose needs the thorn and run into rainswept days the same way they turn towards the sun...
              And when they're grown and someone has to speak for those who have no voice,
              may they draw upon that wilder bond, those days of tending tender things and be the one.

                    Now for years we've been on our own
                    And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
                    But that's not how it used to be
                    When the jester sang for the king and queen
                    In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
                    And a voice that came from you and me
                    Robert Francis O'Rourke, Democrat, White guy, spent ~78 million to defeat, Ted Cruz, Republican immigrant Dark guy …
                    and lost …
                    But the Republicans are racist.
