What would have been sweet is if the sissy obama showed up for the funeral he was turned away.

[al baby]

Even the Clintons had the class to go to Vince Foster death after killing him and rolling him in a carpet livingston took him to Fort Marcy ParkThat is hy they had that big remodle that room was a bloody mess

[TADSLOS]

She should consider Obama’s absence a blessing at a time of great sorrow.

[marron]

No one would want these clowns at their funeral, it would have turned it into a circus instead of the dignified ceremony it is supposed to be.

Just think how your skin would crawl when either of these two got up to speak over your dad’s casket.

[chiefqc]

Glad mac daddy and the nude VP did not show, it would have turned into a phony photo op with mac daddy pretending he gave a crap and the VP would have had to be taken out due to him showing up naked.

As far as the LIAR in chief is concerned, the ONLY thing servicepeople are good for is holding his umbrella when it rains. He has ZERO respect for our guys and gals in uniform. But what would one expect from a ZERO?

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

In all fairness, Obama is on Vacation.

[armydawg505]

We all know his professed love of the military is a lie. Its much better to have people there who wanted to honor the General and wanted to be there than to have Obama there to dishonor his service.

[llevrok]

I can somewhat understand the POTUS/VPOTUS not being there due to the circus they bring to a family affair. But not the SecDef. Inexcusable.

[Kartographer]

"neither the President nor the Vice President were present."

I would have been relieved that they didn't show. In fact for these two not that they meant it to be, but it was the most resepctful thing they could do.

[ArtDodger]

The WH may have received word, through private channels, that an official visit would not be appreciated.

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

Why would 0bama show up? It was probably one of the 5 Taliban commanders released from GITMO who masterminded the murder of this general.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Obama never even mentioned Harold Greene at all, like he never existed..whenever I see Obama give a medal of honor award to a brave marine I know what the putz is really thinking and it makes me SICK..knowing he is standing there with a man who risked his life for our country and here you have Obama who absolutely DESPISES this country

[molson209]

Obama never saw it on the News ?

[Chode]

the boy's presence would be as popular as a turd in the punch bowl... i'm just surprised it didn't go simply to stink up the place

[spodefly]

If the General had been black, Obama would have been there, 100% guarantee.

[Sir Napsalot]

Don’t need them.

Obama’ll only show up as ‘party crasher’.

FUBO and the rest of you gang.

[livius]

Can Obama be any more disgusting? I can’t believe we have an American president who acts like this. Even Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter would have gone.

[Uri’el-2012]

Major General Harold Greene, the highest-ranking officer killed in combat since Vietnam

Some take issue with this statement.

There was a General killed in the Pentagon on 9/11.

[high info voter]

O’Zero is such a pathetic POS!
