Obama To Be A No Show At Memorial Day Ceremony

Obama will be on vacation in Chicago this Memorial Day, instead of presiding over Memorial Day ceremonies at Arlington. This may be the first time since the Civil War that a president will not pay respect to the veterans passed.

Oh my...

What a dishonor to the brave men and women buried there...

What a dishonor to the rest of our dead soldiers and the veterans still alive...

And yet to the cadets at West Point he said...

“it is an honor to serve as your Commander-in-Chief.”

So he enjoys the title and the kudos that go with it......

Just not the responsibilities and requirements and duties of the office...

[greatplains]

Well said. It breaks my heart as well.

[La Enchiladita]

Thank GOD!! That one does not belong on hallowed ground.

God Bless our Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, Airmen and Coast Guard, past present and future!!!

[La Enchiladita]

Another time... another world... another country.
We are Godforsaken.

[Liberty Valance]

Disgraceful.

[worst-case scenario]

He’s sending Biden. Perhaps since Bush got away with sending VP Cheney back in 2007, when Bush went home to Texas. Obama thought he could get away with the same thing.

[worst-case scenario]

Eh, my mistake - it was Veterans Day 2007 that Bush sent Cheney to Arlington while he went to Texas.

#23 .. Nov 2nd election....”if we still have the right to vote by then.”

It’s so evident that he wants a CRISIS ... and he’s working toward that end daily by his “IN YOUR FACE, AMERICA” behavior.

I can't imagine how exciting it would be for a normal, America-loving family, with two young girls, to spend their first Christmas "holiday season" as First Family in the White House.

The Obamas really are weird.

I can't imagine wanting to be anywhere else for Christmas than in the White House given the chance (and the Obamas were not there).

It's almost as if they are taking it for granted. As if it is nothing special.

[Blood of Tyrants]

He’s not even bothering with going though the motions anymore.

We fly the flag daily. It is interesting to notice the looks on the faces of people who notice our flag...from muslims who look and quickly turn their heads, to the rest who don't bother to look. And it seems that we are the only ones to fly the flag in our condo complex. Everyone, how about flying the flag, the flag of the United States of America, the home of George Washington and General Dwight D. Eisenhower, to name a few true patriots.

Fly the flag to show pride in the Constitution, Freedom and Liberty, to show support of our military, to show appreciation of those brave men and women who gave their lives so that we may fly the flag.

What a disgrace this traitor is

[italianquaker]

He is just showing his true colors FUBO

[LibertyRocks]

Who is this “many” you speak of? An ‘eye-roller’??? Really?

Perhaps this is boring to you, but to me it shows just one more example of how Obama feels about this country and its military and veterans - and especially those who have fought and died for the freedoms he is stripping away every single day since he was elected...

I have to say that for a message board post your comment sure sounds “prepared”...

[italianquaker]

Just did myself

[Atlantan]

Showing more distain for the military—tonight Obama is in CA for a fundraiser for Boxer who spoke so rudely to the General. Don’t call me ma’am.

This may be the first time since the Civil War that a president will not pay respect to the veterans passed.

Had the Resident attended, it would also be the first time that a communist-muslim narcissist paid phony respect to those who have gone before us.

[plain talk]

actually obama may not even know he is the first president to do this which is even weirder if true

[Shqipo]

>>>This may be the first time since the Civil War that a president will not pay respect to the veterans passed.<<<

—That's mighty Obama of him. No leadership whatsoever.

[South40]

I know what the response to my post will be so I'll save the mods the trouble.
