Obama skipping Memorial Day service at Arlington
http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2010...icago_mem.html
I can't believe this guy has the audacity to skip the tradition honoring our fallen soldiers just so he can hang out in Chicago. Arrogant toward enemies of war, sure, but not to this country and its people.

He only wants to play President when it's convenient.

When is the last time the President missed the ceremony?

The Boston Globe reported that on Memorial Day in 1992, Vice President Dan Quayle laid a wreath at the tomb while Bush spoke to American Legion members in Kennebunkport, Maine, and played golf. From a May 26, 1992, Globe article:
Meanwhile, Vice President Dan Quayle, laying a wreath before the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery, spoke of patriotic values.
"Unfortunately, today some mock and scorn our reverence for values. They don't seem to grasp the meaning of values - values of freedom, patriotism, duty, honor and country," Quayle said.
Wrapping up his Memorial Day weekend trip, Bush played a final round of golf in chilly weather before delivering his remarks to the American Legion members. His foursome included GOP Gov. John McKernan of Maine.

Re: Obama skipping Memorial Day service at Arlington
If a Bush did it, it makes it OK for Obama I guess.

Re: Obama skipping Memorial Day service at Arlington
I like this quote:
By Walt on May 25, 2010 9:00 PM
Obama still does not really understand that we voted for him to be our leader and our servant. He has not yet grasped the seriousness of the Office of the President of the United States. He likes all of the pomp, ceremonies, parties, etc. but he is clueless on how to truly lead. How sad.

Re: Obama skipping Memorial Day service at Arlington
Seeing about 80% of the country is as well, it's the "in" thing to do.

LOL. A liberal saying this just blows my mind. No real defence to the actual story, just trying to simply make fun of/discredit people. Is this weird to see??
Nope. |

Maybe he should use the word change, and look in the fucking mirror.

Re: Obama skipping Memorial Day service at Arlington
Has anyone ever noticed that he never looks into the camera when hes on tv...A lier cant look you in the eye.
Oh and remember catrina..It took bush 2 days to get down there and the media tore him apart. Well mr obama its taken you a month to figure something out with that oil spill and he still hasnt done a damn thing...
Mr Obama=Try to be everything to all people and cant do any of it right
