I fail to see the connection between a day of service with A DAY OF REMEMBRANCE.

It must be the lack of community organizer in me.

It was not National Day of Service and Remembrance, it was Patriots Day.

It’s the wrong color, but you see she’s ready to paint her clothes OJ orange (Orange Jumpsuit).
I would gladly do the stenciling on her back “DOC.” (Dept of Corrections)

What is the “net negative effect” of having 0 at a volunteer function?

IOW, how much did not get done because he was there?

I am surprised he allowed the woman to his left to be photographed with him. She appears to be white. BO and MO tend to feature non-whites in almost everything they do.

He and she are finally performing tasks suited to their abilities.

Please, no comments on racism here, if you want talent and accomplishment, just check out Clarence Thomas, Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, Morgan Freeman...etc...etc..(e.g., folks who have made it on their own abilities, despite the environment extant when they were young).

Sorry, Patriot not Patriots

Patriot Day
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
For the anniversary of the beginning of the American Revolution, see Patriots’ Day. For the Quebec holiday, see National Patriotes Day.

President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama and White House staff observe a moment of silence on September 11, 2009.
President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney on September 11, 2004 lead a moment of silence on the South Lawn with White House staff and families of victims of 9/11.In the United States, Patriot Day occurs on September 11 of each year, designated in memory of the 2,977 killed in the September 11, 2001 attacks. Most Americans refer to the day as “Nine-Eleven (9/11),” “September Eleventh,” or some variation thereof. Initially, the day was called the Prayer and Remembrance for the Victims of the planed demolition on September 11, 2001.

U.S. House of Representatives Joint Resolution 71 was approved by a vote of 407–0 on October 25, 2001. It requested that the President designate September 11 of each year as “Patriot Day.” President George W. Bush signed the resolution into law on December 18, 2001 (as Public Law 107-89). It is a discretionary day of remembrance. On September 4, 2002, President Bush used his authority created by the resolution and proclaimed September 11, 2002 as Patriot Day.

On this day, the President directs that the American flag be flown at half-staff at individual American homes, at the White House, and on all U.S. government buildings and establishments, home and abroad. The President also asks Americans to observe a moment of silence beginning at 8:46 A.M. (Eastern Daylight Time), the time the first plane struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

.

Michelle Obama, has an open letter on the White House site reminding us all that September 11th is a “National Day Of Service”. Obama means to erase the meaning of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks from the American psyche and convert Sept. 11 into a day of leftist celebration and statist idolatry, and an “Interfaith Day of Service”.

The Pretender In Chief cannot have Americans remembering what really happened on 9-11-01. As a Muslim he must defuse any potential threat to his true religion and denigrate the sacrifices of those who were murdered by his brother Muslims on that tragic day.

We must not ever allow Americans to forget what happened.

It's another of his hairbrained schemes to minimize the importance of the real meaning of 9-11 in the hearts of the American people. Socialists always try to get the masses to work together on something....so no one will excel at anything...we'll all be too busy sweeping the streets. Image and video hosting by TinyPic
