If Bush would have made this mistake, all hell would have broken loose.
It’s not that big of a deal, really, but Obama gets a total pass. Not a mention of it by the MSM.
Did Bambi even issue a proclamation for today?
I live near a National Cemetery and at the ceremony, they said they were going to read some “words from the President’s proclamation” and all they read was a statement saying that Congress had voted to honor Memorial Day by everyone pausing at 3:00 pm to “honor it in whatever way they wanted” (whatever that means).
Everybody else - our Senators, etc. - sent letters written for the occasion. Obviously, it’s no big deal and they weren’t deathless pieces of literature, but at least it was a gesture of respect.
