HOOAhaa!
WHERE IS Obama?
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?
He is quite the leader.
Thank goodness he has shown respect for the troops.
He brought us national healing /s
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.”

Not in town. Wouldn’t meet with the Rolling Thunder bikers. Actually he’s out to lunch when it comes to being the POTUS!!! How anyone in their right mind could have vote ever voted for this incompetent, ego-maniac, anti-American defies common sense logic!!! Democrat Party: IMPEACH OBAMA, NOW!!!
Dont sugar coat it fox, tell us how you really feel.
Meanwhile the Muslim-in Chief is in Chicago playing basketball.
“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.
Obammy is such a pantywaist.
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.
A REAL man and a REAL PRESIDENT welcomed Rolling Thunder at the White House!
President George W. Bush waits as Rolling Thunder rides up to the front lawn of the White House in 2004. And thanks Artie Muller for stopping by at the conclusion of their visit.
Young Nikki Mendicino goes to the WH with RT in 2004. I think Nikki was only 14 or 15 at the time.
President Bush escorts Artie Muller and company to the Oval Office in 2008.
The President was presented with a vest and cap by Artie and members and made an honory member of Rolling Thunder.
Thank God....our fallen heroes do not need the continued disrespect of this administration.

I’ll see your bump and raise you a bump.
Thanks, EV, for the wonderful pictures of Rolling Thunder, and the honor they provide our fallen heroes.
It was one teeny-tiny small thing I could do.
Thank YOU.
