President Barack Obama and family are heading home for the Memorial Day holiday, and though the schedule is still sketchy, he's confirmed to attend ceremonies at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in far south suburban Elwood.
Mr. Obama, First Lady Michelle, and children Malia and Sasha will arrive in Chicago on Thursday, according to a White House Press release. What they'll be doing between then and Monday has yet to be released but they will be staying at their home in Hyde Park.

They couldn't have gone to Chicago on another weekend and keep up the tradition and duty of every president to remember the fallen heros at the Arlingon National Ceremony on Memorial Day... What a "Commander in Chief" we have...

That's right, let's honor the British.
Effing traitor!

0bama's going back to Chicago so the kids can have a weekend playing with their friends.
I hear that they are going to set up a drink stand and sell Leninade.

I am quite certain that Preisdent Bush went to the Arlington Cemetary every Memorial Day, I can’t imagine he would skip something like this.
I also vaguely remember that Obama went last year, he was very awkward.

Maybe he’ll get a little closer to his people, I hear they have a really nice mosque in Shi*cago that he can go to for his family reunion

he's confirmed to attend ceremonies at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in far south suburban Elwood. I wonder if he'll take the opportunity to bemoan all the innocents we've "murdered" in the wars we've "waged".
Anyways, Memorial Day is really about the start of summer and a day for grilling and picnics.
Keep on making us proud, Bambi.

Saw Marine 1 and the chase helicopters fly over yesterday. Usually it would have been something cool. Now it is like watching a fine yacht turned into a garbage scow.

“set up a drink stand and sell Leninade.”
LOL — except it’s too close to the truth for comfort.

"That's right, let's honor the British. "
Only the "celebrity" British...the rest of them he disses all the way.
Maybe the ex-Beatle will receive an entire DVD library of obama speeches and public appearances as a gift.
The Beatles are like Jerry Lee Lewis...wonderfully talented but total losers off-stage.

He went last year, as did Michelle. She wore a blue coat with a black “boob belt” that looked like a tire.

To: SmartInsight
not to worry-
BrainDead VP Joe and “Doctor Jill” Biden will stand in for Bambi and Wookie at Arlington National Cemetery
Poor bambi needs a break from the rigors of hands-on managing the war, the oil spill, and the plummeting economy, and it has been a whole 3 weeks since his last vacation so cut him some slack
And maybe wookie plans to hand out arugula burgers in Cabrini Green
To: SmartInsight
Rumor has it he'll be attending to some pressing issues!
But no press conference!
