To Honor Neil Armstrong, Obama Posts Photo of Himself
Breitbart ^ | 26 August 2012 | Mike Flynn

Posted on 08/27/2012 8:55:05 AM PDT by COBOL2Java

The thing that most bothers me about Barack Obama is his unearned narcissism. His smugness and arrogance are beyond the ability of science to measure. I don't mind someone being a bit cocky or even arrogant, IF they have the accomplishments and achievements to back up the attitude. Obama's greatest achievement, though, is creating his own personal narrative. He is his own personal touchstone. Even when honoring a great American hero, Obama can't help but thrust himself into the event.

On Friday, America and the world lost a true hero. Neil Armstrong, who died of heart complications at the age of 82, was the first human to walk on the moon. His steps onto the lunar surface were watched by the largest television audience in history. His statement "one giant leap for mankind" echoed throughout the world, allowing people everywhere to step back from the clutter of their daily lives and pause to dream big things. People who witnessed it will never forget it.

That’s a great pic! I wonder if it might be even more effective with an image of him cringing and giggling during the karate demonstration, as he witnesses a guy getting flipped....

Not a bad thought, as it turns out...

Mincing with the Marines.

My Dad....although never graduating high school...was an assistant to a German scientist who worked on the LEM....I was only 7 years old when we moved NM where my father worked near White Sands...never really understood why he woke me up to see the landing...never understood why he never bragged about it....like Neil my father was very stoic about that part of his life....now...much older I really appreciate all of that....

My father was not a rich man and had many faults....but he taught me right from wrong....and how to be humble....Bless you dad....you're humility and Christian principles live on....I look forward to seeing you again...

The stock photo is cropped so you don’t see Venus above the crescent moon. I don’t know what he was trying to convey but it sure is a Muslim image to me.

The greatest achievement in history of mankind was achieved by the United States of America. Almost all of the world knew who the great American hero Neil Armstrong was.
Neil Armstrong was living proof of the EXCEPTIONAL example of ingenuity, industrial might, spiritual strength,bravery, and technical prowess of the greatest country on earth.
The MSM media begrudgingly noted his passing.
The man deserved a national day of mourning instead of three minutes mention on the next morning.
Disgusting.


Yup. Whitney Houston kills herself with a drug OD, and the media and country go into national mourning for a week. The first person to ever walk on another world passes away, and the television media barely mentions it. I didn’t see any mention of it all on CNN, MSNBC, or even Foxnews.
