Obama will use Memorial weekend for a trip home to Chicago (will skip Arlington National Cemetary)

When we get the new President to replace Barry the narcissistic pantywaist, I want a return to Presidential traditions.

[Logical me]

How anyone in the military and those of us that are honorably discharged can support this communists Muslim pig is beyond me.

[pepsi_junkie]

as much as I disliked him I must tell you, it was thrilling to see clinton live at Arlington during the Memorial Day service...we were literally a 30 feet from him during the service in the amphitheater...

Funny you say that, speaks to the huge presence that any US President carries. My brother and I got tickets to the Army/Navy game in 2001, right after 9/11 and President Bush attended. My brother is a big lefty but he remarked how cool it was to be there with the President.

On the other hand, if I were asked to attend an event where Obama would be speaking, I'd pass. He is the least qualified person to be President in pretty much every room he is in, so I wouldn't expect to be awed by the experience.

this is disgraceful

[MosesKnows]

missing the usual tradition of presidents speaking at Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day

I see this as another blessing to be thankful for. I do feel a little bad for Chicago but after all, he is theirs.

[RWGinger]

It is disgraceful but probably better.
eric said it best above
“The Kenyan is not fit to walk amongst our honored dead.”

Once again this POS shows disdain for our military and anything American

[Josa]

Or maybe it’s like vampires and daylight: TOTUS literally feels pain being in the presence of military heroes.

[freekitty]

Obama needs to go now.

[Reagan69]

Total disgrace.

Piece of Scum.

And when Barry gets back he’s holding a huge White House gala to honor Paul McCartney!

Faith Hill will pay tribute to Paul McCartney at a concert hosted by President Barack Obama at the White House on June 2. The event will recognize the former Beatle as this year’s recipient of the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, the highest honor given for pop music.

I guess he has to get back to thugland and payoff everyone who has been doing his dirtywork, and pass out new assignments, after Sustek, he knows better than to wire money or talk on the phone...might be traeable.

[skeeter]

Obama continues to amaze & disgust. Marxist buffoon doesn't understand his role, his people or his country.

And yet he's president.

Its surreal.

[nina0113]

I can’t remember a President skipping Memorial Day at Arlington.

[nina0113]

ping

[Obadiah]

...doesn't understand his role, his people or his country.

Exactly. The only answer is either he truly doesn't understand, or he is deliberately doing this to denigrate America.

[opentalk]

He skipped ceremony at ground zero on 9/11 -sent some one else, went to a smaller ceremony

[autumnraine]

I disagreed with a LOT of the sleazy actions of Clinton and he did a good deal of damage economically ... but even that being said, I respect him from his title of Mr. President.

Obama? He is NOT the American President. He is a terrorist in the White House that America has not found the bravery to run him out of yet.

[rbosque]

I’d rather he not be there, it sullies the whole day.

[rlmorel]

Good. The fact that that SOB occupies the White House is too close to Arlington National Cemetery to me.

I don’t want him near my mom and dad or the tens of thousands of other real Americans buried there.
