I had the exact same reaction. Can’t you just see the biting of the lower lip? And the chuckle like at the Ron Brown funeral then instantly turning somber when you see the camera is on you?

Isn't that a military decision?

Political Correctness by definition injects politics into non-political institutions. So, the military decision to deny Purple Hearts is informed by the politics, which is that the Obama Administration wants this to be a lone madman, not a terror attack by the enemy.

Hard as it is to say and to take, some of them voted for him.

You could have skipped the photos of the smug a$$hole who should not have been there.

I second that. I can't take it.

Inappropriate behavior.

People did drag their cameras to Reagan’s Memorial Service, however. I just dont know anymore.

Gripping.

I heard BO placed a presidential coin by each photo.

Please, with his pic on it? how arrogant. Am I reading this wrong. Just seems so self-centered... with his nose up in the air.

And cheer for him at that memorial service, of all places!!! How disrespectful!! I was at a VA hospital with my son, the service was on the tv in a waiting room but I couldn’t catch all of it.

Honestly, I can’t stand the sound of his voice either or his pattern of speech. When he comes on tv I can’t mute it or change the channel fast enough.

My wife saw Al Franken guffawing before the official ceremony began.
The shrieks and hooting from Barry’s groupies ,
as he was introduced , was revolting.
Barry was diminished with every biographical
detail he spoke about the fallen.
Their personal histories of honor and service to country highlighted his lack of honor and service to our country.
And I thought his mention of Osama bin Laden as moment of attempted levity in speaking of SSG Kreuger was bizarre.
“ When her mother told her she couldn’t take on Osama bin Laden by herself, Amy replied: “Watch me.”
Some in the audience tittered and Barry paused like he was expecting that reaction.

That whole Mussolini chin up thing just gauls me

On the bright side, he will probably end up like Mussolini.

*******

“ When her mother told her she couldn’t take on Osama bin Laden by herself, Amy replied: “Watch me.”

*******

At personal funerals, memorial services, etc. - I think something like this is fine. Shows the personality and grit of the person. And the people that know her can reflect on that whole attitude and chuckle and think “Yep - that was Amy”. Even in a public memorial like this I think it is okay.

I just wish it were said by somebody other than Obama - someone that meant the words. (I’m reminded of his looking at his military remembrance bracelet of Private ... ah what’s his name).

sorry, I don't mean to nitpick, but, I think we could have done without the cleavage...it looks like it belongs on an evening date, not a memorial..

I don’t know if his picture is on the coin, but yes, I watched him put a coin in front of each picture. This guy could have never given a speech, and he wouldn’t have been missed. Worst speech ever.

That’s them. Civilian employees.

DISGUSTING

And I read that there were troops who requested permission to attend and were denied.
