U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Matthew Burleson, who was sitting to Obama’s left under a tent with other dignitaries, said the president personally decided to call off the event after he saw lightning nearby and heard a loud clap of thunder. Burleson said Obama turned around and told his aides that he was worried about thousands of people being in an open field during a storm.
“He was the one who called it,” Burleson, a Waukegan firefighter, said. “He was just really worried.”

After leaving the cemetery, the president’s motorcade was briefly stopped on Int. Hwy. 55 because one of the vehicles had a flat tire, according to reports from the poll of reporters following the president. The occupants of that SUV moved to another and the motorcade proceeded to a west suburban facility that opened Friday and provides housing for military families who want to stay close to loved ones who are hospitalized.
At the Hines Fisher House at the Edward Hines Jr. VA Hospital, one of 45 Fisher Houses on military installations and Veterans Administration medical centers, Obama spent 30 minutes talking with service members and their families who live there, including many children. He then toured the facility, ate a bratwurst and some baked beans, and at 2:20 p.m., left the area.

It’s funny what a candid camera can reveal in a person’s face sometimes.
Obama looks angry and worried about something in those pictures. I wonder what was going through his mind at that moment?
Perhaps he was feeling the spirits of our fallen warrior heroes gathering around him.
Dude on the right looks like he’s trying not to snicker...
