On skype with a friend in Tucson. One of his son’s friends mother is one of the wounded.
Wow!This is like no memorial I have ever attended!
My word.....sigh....
Look at those happy faces ... like Bill Clinton at Ron Brown’s funeral. (She says, revealing her age ...)
Bravo for FOX cameraman who just caught Obooboo smiling as the crowd cheered, then quickly putting on his solemn face as he noticed that the camera was on him.
Shades of Bill Clinton!
Maybe they're cheering because the maniac killed a Pro-Life Republican Federal Judge.
A Memorial Service, yet the Presidential Seal on the Podium. Looks like obie thinks he is the main event. Sickening.
This Indian is so Fake!
Someone has. Not me. I raised a Marine.
They've raised themselves for several generations.
Someone open the BACK door and get this guy out of there!
Oh dear Lord, this is so awful.
Dear Lord, what the hell were they thinking?
Some Indian guy with long grey hair.
That Fanfare for the Common Man....
This is not an event for this sort of thing.
Dear Lord....just when I think I can’t be shocked any more, I am SHOCKED.

Obama was just caught smiling from ear to ear then he saw an active camera was pointed at him. Obama wiped off his smile.
