The ABC News report on the rainout of President Obama's planned Memorial Day speech in Illinois noted that Obama had been criticized for not staying in Washington to go to Arlington National Cemetery. But ABC provided a ready excuse, subtitling its report "Obama Not First to Skip Arlington on Memorial Day" and asserting that George W. Bush "did not attend in 2001 or 2002."
ABC was flat-out wrong about 2001, and highly misleading about 2002.
Memorial Day 2001. On May 28, 2001, George W. Bush not only went to Arlington National Cemetery and gave a remarkably eloquent speech after laying a wreath there; he had multiple Memorial Day events before and after.

Only because, in all cases, they are allowed to get away with it.
Well shoot, since when can ABC “News” be bothered with annoying little things such as “facts”?
What else do you expect from the Obambie Marxist Media.
“Lie after lie after lie after lie.”
I think that term was coined by fat drunken Teddy, the swimmer.

So...ABC lies yet again. Nothing new here. Move along.
Around the entire world, beneath hallowed ground and beneath the deepest ocean depths, eternally rest America’s dead, lives given so others may live free.
Truly it may and should be said,
“THE SUN NEVER SETS ON THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”
End of story.
I’m so proud of President George W. Bush for having the class and dignity not to call press conferences to dispute every liberty the Obama people take with the truth and every distortion they make about the Bush presidency.
I’m just as proud of the tireless work done Freepers and The American Thinker to document the lies the press and the Obama administration tell.
Annoying Buttboy Complainers.
Not clueless, dishonest and disingenuous.
Can’t say the commie infiltrators are clueless. They are very much the problem America has and they like it that way.
What affects the rest of us will affect them in the long run.
Their ‘Chickens will come home to roost’.

I have to totally disagree with you, either he or some other organization should do exactly that. A bully will continue to pick on someone until that person does something about it. If the bully demands your lunch money and you do it, he knows where to get money whenever he needs it - however give him a knuckle sandwich, he will move to the next “doner”.
Is ABC News blaming Bush for the rain that washed out Obama’s speech. For a dumb guy, Bush certainly is all powerful. He controlled everything, including the weather.
Memorial Day 2002: GWB was in Europe, tending to the nation’s business. He stopped at the cemetary in France to commemorate the soldiers who liberated Europe.
Memorial Day 2010: Pres_ent Zero goes to Chicago to vacation (yet again) and party with his homies, and goes to a veterans’ cemetary nearby because it was convenient in order to get a chore done.
Wonder if the Teleprompter got wet.
I still can’t get over how Allah allowed it to rain on obamma’s speech. I also wonder if the buses were from New Orleans
Reminds me of The New Yorker and all the Sy Hersh pieces they ran accusing the Bush administration of this or that, which never turned out to be true. For me the last straw was the late 2007 piece revealing that the Bush Administration was going ahead with plans to attack Iran before the 2008 elections. I missed that, how did it turn out?
Falsehoods like that, which never are corrected in a Corrections or Errata column in a subsequent issue are the reason I let my subscription lapse.
With regard to ABC News, I haven’t watched them since Frank Reynolds was alive and kicking, so there’s not much I can do except to keep up the habit.
