President Obama will NOT go to Arlington National Cemetary and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers on Memorial Day to honor fallen soldiers. Our president will remain in WH to "honor" former Beatle, Sir Paul McCartney.
Story is only a tease line on FOX Morning News now. More later.
Why the exclamations (!!!)?
I hope you’re not surprised....
You’re quite right.
Hard to know what they are up to, except that I will tell you that my boyfriend is a teacher in Chicago, on the southside. He goes to a second tutoring job each day (children of the black elites there) in Hyde Park, and they have had the streets surrounding Obama’s home blocked off for weeks. This means he has to take a large detour.
He was just telling me about 3 hours ago, that while at the light, he noticed some little old lady taking a walk who was being stopped and questioned by the cops.
As she and her man-eating poodle were entering the area.
Why? It's not his or his country's holiday, remembrance.
nice use of the word feckless! it absolutely defines the One.
“I just checked FOX News website and there is no mention of this. Without a link, your post is definitely suspect.”
You are correct - The HEADLINE IS WRONG. Everybody calm down. See post #62.
True he will not be at Arlington, but his location will be back in Chicago for the Holiday not at the White House with Paul. He will be at a Chicago area Memorial on Monday. Lets not go off the deep end on this story like the DU does befoe checking facts.
Notice, also, that Memorial Day USED TO BE the last day of May. Now it's a moveable holiday. Irrespective of that Memorial Day Weekend has been the target for many years, and you've got everywhere from the COB on Thursday, through Sunday evening, or COB on Friday, through Monday evening, to get your Decorating done ~ and all of us here CELEBRATE "Decoration Day", right?
Due to its wide open nature Arlington National has always been a "security problem", and then somebody allowed "them" to build high rise apartments and condos overlooking the area. I used to live in one. In nearly a decade NOT ONCE did a President visit the Marine Corps Memorial that framed my window! Talk about a "security problem", that was and is a tough one.
BTW, I soaked up all sorts of patriotic rays from the Marine Corps memorial ~ and then the Japanese tourists began coming for purpose of releasing the souls of the dead killed in WWII. There'd be hundreds of them out there lined up praying and burning incense, and flashing cameras. They'd light up the nights ~ then get back on their tour buses and go somewhere else. Most folks don't realize that the Memorial has been for many years a Shinto and Buddhist shrine.
And if this clueless puppet knew the first thing about The Beatles, he'd ask to meet George. Paul's a milquetoast simpleton... but maybe he can teach Barry how to rhyme “June” with “spoon”.
Ah - The Flying Dutchman. Is Michelle Senta? No way!
George Harrison died ...
“Paul McCartney should refuse the invitation.”
Nah, Sir Paul can produce another “Ebony and Ivory” video. However, this one will be historic.
Okay, so Biden visits Arlington.
At least they’re sending an American citizen to do the honors. A dumbass American citizen, but at least it’s a citizen. Better that, than our faux unAmerican president desecrate the place.
True, but were it not for the sacrifices of American Soldiers McCartney would have grown up speaking German and wearing lederhosen if he grew up at all.
Maybe some nice Veteran’s group will invite Sarah Palin, as their guest.
That should chap his sorry ass.
Correction: American Servicemen/women.
Get to know the man you elected, America. Especially you former red staters.
I wouldn’t want that unrefined a$$hole setting foot there anyway.
Go F yourself, Obama.
You’re right, cancer a few years ago. Slipped my mind.
I’d still rather meet him than Paul.
