Obama urges nation to honor Memorial Day through 'deeds'
The Washington Post ^ | 5/29/2010 | Scott Wilson

Posted on 05/29/2010 8:06:44 AM PDT by Dinah Lord

President Obama called Saturday for Americans to honor their countrymen who have died in war, saying that Memorial Day should be marked by "doing our part for the loved ones our fallen heroes have left behind and looking after our military families."

In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama said, "We are called to honor their ultimate sacrifice with more than words. We are called to honor them with deeds."

I guess this is Obama's idea of "honoring our troops with deeds"

President Barack Obama has begun his hometown holiday weekend by playing some basketball.

The president is in Chicago with his family for a few days over the Memorial Day weekend.

Obama left his home in the Hyde Park neighborhood on Saturday morning and arrived at the University of Chicago Lab School to play basketball.

He wore a Chicago White Sox cap — they're his favorite baseball team.

His daughters, Malia and Sasha, attended the Lab School when the family lived in Chicago.

It has already been reported that Obama may be at his Kenwood home barbecuing for family guests, his wife may visit her favorite Target Store from her Chicago days in the past, and they may attend a performance of "The Good Negro," a play at the Goodman Theater. Additionally, Obama will be traveling to Elwood, Illinois on Monday for the Memorial Day event at the Abe Lincoln Memorial Cemetery just south of Joliet.

Rumor had it that Obama and Mayor Daley would be watching the Blackhawks game at United Center together Monday evening. Now that rumor has spread, Daley's office is denying it. Guess we won't know for sure until they drop the puck! Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton also says that Obama has no public schedule for Saturday and Sunday. To this writer, it would seem logical for Obama to catch up to Daley and hang out after the Elwood, Illinois appearance.

If the Kenyan conman wants to show some deeds then put 15,000 of our military on the border to defend America. But since his “deeds” rap is 100% pure unadulterated bullshyte this will never happen

The Lab school is where 'they learn by doing'. Kind of like Obama himself, no? It is located here: Mapdata
Here's their website.

Mr. Obama apologized for America even where American Hero's lay in foreign soil.

(click on the name of a cemetery)

The boy only knows community organizing, emphasis on organizing...not loving or respecting. What this president (doesn't understand about the Greatness that is America)

"doing our part for the loved ones our fallen heroes have left behind and looking after our military families."

So should we take your heed, Mr Obama, by partying and BBQ-ing and golfing this weekend instead of honoring the military???

Don’t you just love the way Ayers puts words in Obama’s mouth?

They’re not Obama’s words or beliefs, so he doesn’t understand that We The People have a problem when the words and the deeds are divergent.

Obama is “THE” Epic Fail.

I'm thinking this might be his date night deed - taking MaBelle to see The Good Negro - Barf alert:

Before there was change, there was Birmingham.

Straight from a sold-out run during our inaugural season of Public LAB, this gripping new play rips through the pages of history to uncover the human story at the heart of the 1960's American Civil Rights Movement. In the increasingly hostile South, tensions build as a trio of emerging black leaders attempts to conquer their individual demons amidst death threats from the Klan and wire taps by the FBI. Through personal and intimate stories inspired by the political upheavals of the era, The Good Negro examines the human frailties behind the historic headlines.

"We are called to honor their ultimate sacrifice with more than words. We are called to honor them with deeds."

This coming from the guy who does nothing but spout words. I guess he's off the hook though because he doesn't have any loved ones who have served.
