President Barack Obama, left, greets veteran Archie Hackney, from Des Moines, Iowa, after speaking at TPI Composites, a manufacturer of wind turbines blades, Thursday, May 24, 2012 in Newton, Iowa. In Obama's second visit as president to Newton, a city of about 15,000 east of Des Moines, he argued for Congress to renew wind energy tax credits.

1. Oh, Archie! Standing as a sign of respect, when standing is so difficult!

That's a wonderful picture, and I hope President Obama urged him to sit back down.

3. I just knew somebody would say something about this picture on Facebook...

I posted this picture, because I thought it was great, facebook friend said he may not like the president, but he stood for his country. I, of course, asked him why he assumed he didn't like the president? People are so close-minded.
