"A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men
from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."

He didn't have to have some big photo op like the current President did at Dover AFB -- he quietly met with grieving families over the years who lost loved ones in the War on Terror. No pictures of those private events.

When the bodies of the 13 military and civilian killed by the Islamic Major were flown to Dover after a ceremony at Fort Hood, the families requested no photos. We note that Obama did not go to Dover to meet the plane.
