Booing Scouts Weren't 'Courteous and Kind' to President Obama

I didn't know the President decided to go speak to the Boy Scouts. He decided to show up and they boo'd? How rude!

“It was kind of low class. Respect the office of the President if not the man holding it.”

Even as he dismisses the Law and conducts himself as a thug? I believe in civilized treatment of those who are civilized. To hell with obama, president or not.

Obama's lamebrain advisors told him, "Ahh, just a bunch of non-voting kids in shorts...forget them, there's no point".

More likely his non-appearance had to do with the far left and their goal of mainstreaming homosexuality.

The boy scouts have been a target of homosexual activists, atheists and the far left for years.

I hope the next President reinstates the Award signed (autopen) by the President. When Barry came to power, he discontinued the tradition. What a disappointment.

Then one has to ask why the Scouts invited Obama to address them in the first place?

And a hideous voice

I’m in the minority here, but I do think that it is important for Scouts to show respect for American tradition and the office of the Presidency, even if they don’t like or agree with the occupant. I think it is not in keeping with the Scouts’ values or code of conduct to boo the President, regardless of who he may be. (Indeed, I think the major reason Obama is who he is was that he never learned these things as a boy).

I did not vote for Obama, I don’t agree with him on anything, but I would not be openly rude to him should I happen to meet him. The Scouts stand for better than this.

Reid and Biden say he’s clean and articulate. Does that count?

Brainless inertia, on the pat of some committee or other. Probably won't happen again.

Well if these Jamborees happen every five years then let's hope not.

It’s not just the sodomists who are after the Boy Scouts either. My nephew’s BS troop in SC has more women running it than men. I’ll say that again...it has more activist-type women on the executive than men. Yep, real role models on those camping trips. Sad that idealogues target children’s groups. Lord Baden-Powell would puke.
