Obama being anywhere near anything honoring veterans of past wars or current members of the military is like seeing sh!t on a wedding dress.

Former president Bush should be invited, if so I believe he’d attend. That’d fry 0bama’s oysters.

Who wants him there, anyways? It’ll just turn into an event about him.

It IS all about him, you know .... if he appeared, it wouldn’t be to honor Vets and the thing is, they’re on to him and he knows it. It won’t be a ‘friendly’ crowd .... might get another very cool reception like he got at the last speech he gave in front of Vets. He doesn’t want to be pausing for applause and there isn’t any. Being the narcissist he is, I’m sure that pissed him off.

Does Bush still greet returning troops at DFW airport as a private citizen ?


He holds events for Wounded Warriors at his ranch.

He may be the “Smartest Guy on the Planet” who can’t trifle with such menial tasks, but re Veterans’ affairs Obama don’t know $#!t from Shinseki…

This organization should be celebrating the fact that Obama is not going. Why would anyone in attendance want to have to see and listen to this guy. It would seem to me that the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs should be in attendance, hopefully along with the other members of the Joint Chiefs.

Maybe it was intended for Lois Lerner and got put in the wrong envelope?

I don’t think we should be so quick to jump to conclusions.

I mean, perhaps he has a fatal decease and he already knows that he won’t be around by October.

Heck, this would explain why he leads from behind, because he knows that someone else will need to finish the job and he doesn’t want to screw things up for the next crew. By golly, I think Obama is just being thoughtful and very considerate, and he is taking a broad view on all things.

Excellent question...Not in my view, at least for anything except to pump blood.

Clown Prince nobama, his racist “wife”, mooch-elle the Worst Lady) and his purported “family” will probably be flying in style around the world on their latest junket. Vacay all the way!!!!! However, it is an honor to the disabled that Clown Prince nobama won’t soil their site.

Good. He doesn’t give a damn about them anyway.

He ought to stay far far away from honorable events.

It’ll be interesting to see what he actually does that day.
