Thankfully, off vacationing in Chicago and NOT fouling the sacred ground of Arlington with his nefarious presence.

My sister said there were 900,000 of them this year. That must be an exaggeration, right?

Last year , Barry refused to publicly meet Rolling Thunder bikers at the White House.
This year he fled to Chicago because he’s homesick.

” In past years, former President George W. Bush welcomed Rolling Thunder members Harley Davidson choppers and all in the driveway of the White House.
The event became somewhat of a ritual; last year Mr. Bush was inducted into Rolling Thunder
as an honorary member and accepted a cowhide biker vest.
Bush administration officials and top military brass made a regular practice of riding with Rolling Thunder,
tricked out in biker gear.

Things did not seem quite so friendly with the new administration, however. The culture of the White House appeared to have changed.

Last week, Mr. Muller ( Rolling Thunder founder Artie Muller ) , told The Washington Times that he received word from the White House that Mr. Obama would not follow suit.”

Well I am not surprised at all. President Obama is so anti-military/veterans, it is unbelievable.

For the first time in a couple of years, I had watch the Memorial Day concert in D.C. and I was touched bigtime to tears. There is a member of my family, an in-law, youngest neice’s husband who is in Afganistan right now. I worry about him. At least I am thinking about him more then the President does.

All I could say is that Mr. Obama has made more enemies in well over a year’s time, is enough to make you shake your head.

Thank YOU.
