It appears the President of the United States can't contain his disdain for America's historical roots. On Independence Day, instead of stressing the awesome concepts of the Declaration of Independence, Obama managed to turn a BBQ into an opportunity to disparage our founders, foster class warfare and further division.
On July 4th the Commander-in-Chief invited the military to a White House cookout and then used the occasion to skewer the Founding Fathers. Rather than depicting America as "one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all," once again Barack-the-great-divider separated America into factions and brought up a time in our history where, in his view, America lacked, "civil rights and voting rights, workers' rights and women's rights."
A casually dressed Obama, who couldn't make Memorial Day at Arlington Cemetery, appeared on the balcony high above the active-duty military and their families who were waving flags and wearing red, white and blue face paint. The President, with Michelle at his side, spoke to the group, saying that today may be Independence Day, but "Today we also celebrate all of you, the men and women of our armed forces, who defend this country we love."

What else can you expect from an outside agitator of Kenyan provenance? Obama is the most non-American president ever and the most unAmerican president ever.
I’ll bet most of that White House crowd lapped up 0bama’s leftist dramatization due to our poor public schools teaching a bowdlerized history of America.
He appeared on the balcony, coz’ he’s running scared to mingle with the common people. He makes no public appearances unless the crowd has been vetted to the max, or it’s totally impromptu.
How appropriate for a Marxist dictator...
F that SOB!
Dictators around the world did this same thing. He learns well doesn’t he?
I think it extremely ironic that 0bama is up there running down the Founders and the start of our nation at the same time Glenn Beck has historians on his show to educate all of us on the many blacks who were a part of the fight, that the Revolutionary War victory can almost be attributed to one black man who acted as a double-agent.
That obama guy is a real POS isnt he?
LOL... GREAT pic, Allegra! ;-)
Ironic, at the tea party I was at Sunday, a black guy gave an excellent speech filled with both historic and conservative ideas.
One of the differences, among many, between the Founders of this republic and Barack Obama:
Many of them started off wealthy, but sacrificed everything for this country and for liberty, dying poor, at least in the financial sense.
Conversely, Obama started off with nothing and has made himself into a multi-millionaire from “public service.”
It’s amazing how many of our elected “leaders” become rich on what is a comparatively modest salary.
I hate that man more every day.
Apologies, but I really think Obama’s heading in that direction.
Wonderful... I'm so sorry we missed it. How many were there?
I have to be honest and say that I wish these tea parties weren't scheduled on the actual July 4th date. We had family obligations out of state that day... it's impossible to be in two places at the same time, unfortunately.
THANK YOU ALL who participated at the July 4th Tea Party in Hartford!

With Evita at his side.
Some times you want to just beat your head against a wall in an attempt to figure out why this country would allow someone like this in the highest office in the land. I hope that after November, impeachment proceedings start. Some say we would see massive riots, so be it. It’s time to take this country back, big time. If the New Black Panthers don’t like it and want to cause problems, eliminate them.
You said it. I even questioned the placing of the rally for July 4th itself. I would have had no problem going up to a rally a day or two early. July 4th in itself should be for you to enjoy the day and to be with dear ones. The final count came up to about 250-300 people, a bit smaller then last July 4th, but still at least people attended.
Take care,

It was never more obvious that his balcony remarks showed his lack of knowledge of the difference between celebrating he founding of our Nation along with the wisdom of the Founders versus Memorial Day which acknowledges the sacrifices of those who served and died to maintain the heritage of those Founders OR his disdain of the greatness of our heritage; perhaps because he knows it is not his heritage by either his father and stepfather or the communism on the other side of his family.
Wow, that's fantastic! Many more than I expected to be able to attend on July 4th.
God bless all of you! :o)
God Bless and THANKS!
