Of course, his white family owned slaves and he owns 300 million slaves.

Thank you, President Obama, for not forgetting our heroes.

I am glad that my ancestors are included in his memorial. I have ancestors that fought in all of our wars, including the revolution.

Don’t you just get the feeling that he is gritting his teeth having to honor veterans? I know inside he hates our military traditions.

I guess these “historians” just forget about the thousands of Black Americans — many freedmen — who fought FOR the Confederacy? I suppose they also neglected to learn about the thousands of native Americans from “Indian Territory” (aka Oklahoma) who fought FOR the Confederacy under the leadership of Cherokee chief Stand Watie? Oh, almost NONE of them owned a slave..!

Yeah, you politically correct, historical revisionists... Don’t think you can just spout off what you WANT to be the truth. Don’t think YOU set the narrative. :-) Just a friendly reminder that the truth won’t go away.

Credit where credit is due. He ignored the politically correct pressure on this one. It would have been very easy to let this one slip by and gig a group where he gets little support in favor of a group who does support him. But he maintained an honorable tradition of reconciliation.

Kudos on this one.

Finally, something positive about the 0.

And lest we forget that American Muslims also lie in Arlington, having given all for their country...

For the 100th time,Barry is dealing his Race Cards!
What a pathetic redundant stunt.

Can you imagine how many white sympathizers receive absolution for their ancestors? Barry never deviates from his selected
Crowd of shamed white people! Barry is as predictable as *Cap and Trade*

I’d like to know just who are those “scholars” and “historians” who urged the president not to honor the confederate dead.

“President Barack Obama sent a wreath Monday to a memorial for soldiers who fought on the side of slavery during the Civil War,”

Grrrr.

They're listed at the end of their Letter.

I.m with you-let’s see the list. I know it contains James McPherson, Princeton U., and Bill Ayers. Anyone know anymore about this?
