He didn’t go to Arlington last year either, did he?
Also, did Bush go all 8 years? I’d like to know to stregthen my argument when I spread the word about 0bama’s latest (in)actions w/ regards to our troops.
I also vaguely remember that Obama went last year, he was very awkward.
On the other hand, who really wants him there?
He went last year, as did Michelle. She wore a blue coat with a black “boob belt” that looked like a tire.

President Clinton Arlington remarks 1993-2000
Bush 41 remarks- he was in Kennebunkport in 1990
But I cut him some slack since he was a combat pilot and was shot down in The Pacific during WW2
I'm not sure, but its pretty certain that not all Presidents attended Arlington every year. I am reading he will be attending a Chicago area Memorial instead on Monday. Calmer heads should prevail here on FR. Some are still posting the “He'll be with Paul McCartney” rumor even though that is being debunked. That being said - We are at War, and I thing any President during a time of war should out of respect for those dying on the battlefield attend Arlington. Be it Bush or Obama.
I just confirmed about 5 of 8 years for Bush at Arlington, and that was done in just a half minute of google searching.
