Another Epic fail photo op by the President
Who is the only President to ever miss the D-Day commemoration?
Obama!
in 2010, 2011, & 2012.
Nailed it, Sarge!!!!
Yes indeed. There are no weekends in the Military. You must be available at all times unless you have been granted leave. This means you can only travel a certain distance from base if you leave base at all. Not a lot different for officers living off base. You are restricted in your movements unless you are granted a leave exception.
It can be a narrow confining life. Your freedom is not free is it?
Too bad the average American doesn’t realize how much the military that they so admire can’t stand Obama
Jim glad to know you are in Raleigh. Let me know if you come west, you can visit. My son lucked out because he was competing in Mo. for best of the best NCO status. He missed the “Zero” visit but said most of his friends pretty much said the same thing you said. Thanks for letting me know. Ken
Based on my 22 years in the military there are three things you don’t mess with for a G.I. You don’t mess with his wife, you don’t mess with his pay, and you don’t mess with his time off.
Someone remind me to read this “screw the Military” in my local paper the, Albany Times Union.
Never mind, no mention of the troops sacrificing their week end
tweets from local El Paso paper:
There are 5,000 soldiers and family members waiting in the heat for President Obama to speak.
The soldiers have been on their feet for about 3 hours.
After hours on their feet, some sat down on the floor. Women in heels took off their shoes. More than 200 soldiers outside the hangar are sitting on tanks. There are also a few soldiers sitting in a helicopter nearby waiting for the President.
At 1 p.m., president Obama arrives.
WaPo feed:
The president jogged down the steps of Air Force One, stepping onto a sprawling tarmac where the temperature was 92 degrees.

GEE, it’s really hot down here in Texas. Sorry, about the wait, but you know how busy I am, running for President and all that stuff.
It just dawned on me after all this time - Zero isn’t using teleprompters! Those things are mirrors so he can see how macho he looks while orating.
