Seriously, Obama is an affirmative action anti-American totalitarian moron/charlatan/incompetent who is a complete creation of the corrupt democrat party media. No wonder no one will ever watch CNN again.

The smartest president in U.S. history seems to have confused Memorial Day with Veterans Day:
President Barack Obama saluted veterans and urged his countrymen to do the same this Memorial Day weekend, saying the nation has not always paid them proper respect.
In his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday, Obama said people can honor veterans by sending a letter or care package to troops overseas, volunteering at health clinics or taking supplies to a homeless veterans center. He said it could also mean something as simple as saying "thank you" to a veteran walking by on the street.
****
"That is what Memorial Day is all about," Obama said. "It is about doing all we can to repay the debt we owe to those men and women who have answered our nation's call by fighting under its flag. It is about recognizing that we, as a people, did not get here by accident or good fortune alone."
Someone might want to explain to the President that it is a little difficult to say "thank you" or send care packages to the deceased.

Sheesh, he did the same thing last year. I am so over people trying to portray him as smart. I guess they hope if they say it enough, people will believe it. I have NEVER thought he was smart and he did NOT write Dreams from my Father. Ayers did. END OF STORY! Prove me wrong.
Hard to type through tears.Thanks Jeff.
We don’t see these images enough.They should be shown on TV and on billboards every day.
The list, ping
So bad. Ya know, I hear he’s also cutting the 21-gun salute to a coreographed smurf slingshot routine to demonstrate new non-lethal US warfare methods so no one will shoot at our soldiers anymore.
I’m sorry but today I remember those I knew that died in Uniform serving proudly this country of ours, today I salute their memories and no others, today is their day.
I was always moved by President Bush’s speeches honoring those we have lost this day given at Arlington. They were so powerful even if the press ignore them CSPAN always showed them.
More than anything else, the reverence Bush always showed our honored dead will be missed.
Memorial Day Origin
The inspiration for and origin of the National Memorial Day in Petersburg, Virginia
Excerpt:
If other eyes grow dull, and other hands black, and other hearts cold, in the solemn trust, ours shall keep it well as long as the light, and warmth, of life remain to us. Let us, then, at the time appointed gather around their sacred remains, and garland the passionless mounds above them with the choicest flowers of Springtime: let us raise above them the dear old flag they saved from dishonor. Let us in this solemn presence renew our pledges to aid and assist those whom they have left among us, a sacred charge upon a nations gratitude the soldiers and sailors widow and orphan.

I don’t know who he hangs with but the people I associate myself with all know how to honor our military and we know the difference between Veteran’s Day and Memorial Day as well.
LOL - good one. ;-)
These 1960s Marxist/Alinsky street rabble and their ideological issue have never, never been in a position of respecting America.
They cannot speak impromptu without straying off and saying how they really feeeeeeeeeel. They need the talent, training and discipline of professional actors.
His dumbass tank was full.
Obama is now getting sloppy. He is believing his own press. Ceasar syndrome is starting to show. I just hope he melts down and has his pelosi moment sooner rather than later.
Looks almost as if his teleprompter is turning on him...
I’m not sure that his TelePrompTer is broken, but it seems to be acting up a bit.
I noticed this morning that it told him to put his right and over his heart. An amazing sight, indeed.
Obviously it was. Clearly he was speaking to all LIVING members of our Military in all 57 states.
“Obama ..... saying the nation has not always paid them proper respect.”
Wow, he even brought up the traitorous democrats in his phony speech..... amazing.
When you are a visiting Messiah you sometimes forget that living Earthlings won't understand . . . .
Honoring the nation’s fallen heroes Obama noted, "I see many of them in the audience today."
