POTUS rode out to Fort Belvoir in an uneventful motorcade. Your pool is now holding in the base PX; POTUS is, reportedly, golfing with Marvin Nicholson. Your pool probably won't have any idea exactly what POTUS is doing at 3 p.m. during the moment of national unity he called for.

someone might want to see how other Prez’s honored the day before casting a stone. I don’t know but I would think anyone playing golf today would be in poor taste.

Ok, in all fairness, he DID put in a head poke at the Arlington National Cemetary observance.

Buttttt, it’s not like the UN ISN’T CALLING AN EMERGENCY MEETING!

If I were Japan, I’d start looking for some weapons ASAP and tell the US to pound sand at their WW2 contract.

By the way, don’t WE have soldiers in the same area this nutjob has nukes now?

"someone might want to see how other Prez’s honored the day before casting a stone. I don’t know but I would think anyone playing golf today would be in poor taste.

I think I remember both GHWB and Clinton golfing on this day. I can't remember what GWB did.

What I'm most interested in is the lack of anti-war protests on this day. For the last 7 Memorial Days, we've been treated to a steady diet of the Code-Pinkers in the news coverage. This year, I don't know if they stopped protesting, or if the media just stopped covering them.

And yet, all too often in recent years and decades, we, as a nation, have failed to live up to that responsibility. We have failed to give them the support they need or pay them the respect they deserve.”

*******

Good to see bambi getting serious about that “respect they deserve”.

Marvin Nicholson is the guy that tried to block Bill O’Reilly’s television shot of Obama...

******

Nicholson said that he was standing there and O’Reilly moved around the barricade and grabbed him by the arm and tried to push him out of the way. Nicholson is 6’8”.

According to Nicholson, O’Reilly was told to go back behind the barricade. Nicholson then approached O’Reilly.

“I went up to him and said ‘Sir, don’t push me anymore,’” Nicholson recounted, “and he said that I was low class.”

Nicholson described O’Reilly as being “really upset” and yelling.

O’Reilly said on Fox News Channel this afternoon that there was no scuffle between he and Nicholson: “No scuffle at all. I just removed him from in front of the camera.”

When asked if O’Reilly used any profanity with Nicholson, O’Reilly said chuckling, “I might have called him an S.O.B. That’s possible.”

Obama acknowledged O’Reilly after he reached Obama a second time. Nicholson said O’Reilly shouted to Obama and he acknowledged O’Reilly and shook hands with him.

"If I were Japan, I’d start looking for some weapons ASAP and tell the US to pound sand at their WW2 contract.

Before this latest test, there was the murmurs in Japan of re-arming and possibly even building a nuclear arsenal. Japan isn't Iran or NK. They could have a bomb in months, not years. The technological know-how to build not just a war-head sized nuke, but also its' delivery vehicle is well within their capabilities.

I believe Japan has over 50 nuclear plants. Obtain the fissionable source material would be very easy for them and unlike Iran, they could quickly build enough centrifuges to produce plenty of weapons grade uranium.

Personally, I think it's now a foregone conclusion that Japan will re-arm and that they'll also acquire nukes which will lead to further destabilization of a key geopolitical region.

With all due respect, why is this shocking? Obama is in the White House - There is not any record of who this man was or is... Obama didn’t live in this country the first years of his life.... and when Obama came to this country he admits in his books he looked for Marxist... people he wanted to associate with... and if everything is true...and he is not an American Citizen.. then why does he care about the American way of life and especially our military?

Come on folks, we have an Anti-American Marxist in the White House and everyone is shocked that Obama is playing golf on Memorial Day? Sheeze!

Through a random drawing, Salon had today’s shift as in the press pool that follows Obama wherever he goes, so as he golfs, I’m sitting in the base’s PX food court, about a five-minute drive away. The Secret Service reported, via earpiece radio, not long ago that the presidential golf game is about half-finished. No word on whether Obama paused at 3 p.m. to mark the holiday, as he requested, but I can report that the NASCAR race showing on the TVs overhead here in the food court did stop briefly then.

Update: A White House aide says Obama did pause his game at 3 p.m. for a moment of silence.

Thank you. Mr. Secretary, thank you for the kind introduction. Members of my Cabinet, members of the administration, Admiral Mullen, members of the United States Congress, Senator Warner and Congressman Skelton, members of the military, our veterans, honored guests, families of the fallen: Laura and I are honored to be with you on Memorial Day and thank you for coming.

A few moments ago, I placed a wreath upon the tomb of three brave Americans who gave their lives in service to our nation. The names of these honored are known only to the Creator who delivered them home from the anguish of war -- but their valor is known to us all. It's the same valor that endured the stinging cold of Valley Forge. It is the same valor that planted the proud colors of a great nation on a mountaintop on Iwo Jima. It is the same valor that charged fearlessly through the assault of enemy fire from the mountains of Afghanistan to the deserts of Iraq. It is the valor that has defined the armed forces of the United States of America throughout our history.

Today, we gather to honor those who gave everything to preserve our way of life. The men and women we honor here served for liberty. They sacrificed for liberty. And in countless acts of courage, they died for liberty. From faraway lands, they were returned to cemeteries like this one, where broken hearts received their broken bodies -- they found peace beneath the white headstones in the land they fought to defend.

It is a solemn reminder of the cost of freedom that the number of headstones in a place such as this grows with every new Memorial Day. In a world where freedom is constantly under attack and in a world where our security is challenged, the joys of liberty are often purchased by the sacrifices of those who serve a cause greater than themselves. Today we mourn and remember all who have given their lives in the line of duty. Today we lift up our hearts especially those who've fallen in the past year.

We remember Army Specialist Ronald Tucker of Fountain, Colorado. As a young man, Ronnie was known for having an infectious smile and a prankster's sense of humor. And then he joined the United States Army, which brought out a more mature side in him. Ronnie transformed from a lighthearted teenager into a devoted soldier and a dutiful son who called his mother every day from his post in Iraq. In his final act of duty, less than a month ago, he worked with other members of his unit to build a soccer field for Iraqi children. As he drove back to his base, an enemy bomb robbed him of his life. And today our nation grieves for the loss of Ronnie Tucker.

We remember two Navy SEALS -- Nathan Hardy of Durham, New Hampshire, and Michael Koch of State College, Pennsylvania. Nate and Mike were partners in the field and they were close friends in the barracks. Through several missions together, they had developed the unique bond of brotherhood that comes from trusting another with your life. They even shared a battlefield tradition: They would often head into battle with American flags clutched to their chests underneath their uniform. Nate and Mike performed this ritual for the last time on February the 4th -- they both laid down their lives in Iraq after being ambushed by terrorists. These two friends spent their last few moments on earth together, doing what they loved most -- defending the United States of America. Today, Nathan Hardy and Mike Koch lay at rest next to each other right here on the grounds of Arlington.

The men and women of American armed forces perform extraordinary acts of heroism every single day. Like the nation they serve, they do not glory in the devastation of war. They also do not flinch from combat when liberty and justice are embattled. Ronald Tucker, Nathan Hardy and Mike Koch make clear, they do not waver -- even in the face of danger.

And so today, here in Washington and across our country, we pay tribute to all who have fallen -- a tribute never equal to the debt they are owed. We will forever honor their memories. We will forever search for their comrades, the POWs and MIAs. And we pledge -- we offer a solemn pledge to persevere and to provide the security for our citizens and secure the peace for which they fought.

The soil of Arlington and other sites is filled with liberty's defenders. It is nourished by their heroism. It is watered by the silent tears of the mothers and fathers, and husbands and wives, and sons and daughters they left behind. Today we pray for God's blessing on all who grieve and ask the Almighty to strengthen and comfort them today and everyday.

On this Memorial Day, I stand before you as the Commander-in-Chief and try to tell you how proud I am at the sacrifice and service of the men and women who wear our uniform. They're an awesome bunch of people and the United States is blessed to have such citizens.

I am humbled by those who have made the ultimate sacrifice that allow a free civilization to endure and flourish. It only remains for us, the heirs of their legacy, to have the courage and the character to follow their lead -- and to preserve America as the greatest nation on earth and the last best hope for mankind.

May God bless you and may God bless America.

President Bush's Memorial Day Speeches were I think the some of the greatest moments of his Presidency, they were always humble and inspiring.

The same White House that said that Joe Biden didn't advise his family not to take the subway, that said that Obama didn't bow to the Saudi King...yeah, I believe them.

My late grandfather, a WWII veteran and avid golfer, took me to parades on Memorial Day when I was little. I shudder to think what he would say about this Obama person.
