God Bless you and your family. I’m sure God understands our predicament and the possibility that corrective actions may be needed. Yes we been had thanks in large part to ACORN fraud and the MSM.

Man, I’ll bet it was hard to find 10 members of the military that would be happy to hear from him.

But most of the troops were proud to be seen with him.

My first thought too.

Zero’s enormous ego couldn’t risk calling a soldier who dislikes him.

The Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball did take place at the Renaissance Washington DC Hotel on January 20, 2009. 47 Medal of Honor recipients were in attendance at the event. The President traditionally attends, as does the Vice President and other dignitaries. Vice President Joe Biden did attend, but President Obama did not.

Instead, Barack Obama chose to be in the company of Kanye West, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Kid Rock, Stevie Wonder, Mary. J. Blige, Usher, Faith Hill, Alicia Keys, Adam Levine, Shakira, will.i.am, Samuel L. Jackson, Sting, Mariah Carey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sheryl Crow and Marc Anthony and numerous other celebrities.

Yep, and H.W. Bush also made time to visit the troops on Thanksgiving during the First Gulf War.

In all fairness, though, I heard Obama is fine-tuning his troop visitation policy so he can develop a comprehensive Thanksgiving strategy that he can be confident will succeed in meeting the objectives laid out by his administration. /Obamaspeak and /sarc

Let me guess, none of them were the Navy SEALs who captured the Falluja plotter thought to be behind the slayings and mutilation of four U.S. contractors in Falluja in 2004 and then accused of punching him in the nose.

I guess that these servicemen did not have caller ID, If they would have had caller ID and seen who was calling they most likely have not answered.
