Barack Obama is skipping the Memorial Day tradition of the President laying a wreath at the tomb of the unknowns. It is not unprecedented. George H. W. Bush was on the campaign trail in 1992 and scheduled to speak at an American Legions event in Maine on Memorial Day.
Ronald Reagan was in the midst of a contentious economic summit in 1983 and so sent George H. W. Bush on his behalf.
Barack Obama wants to go on vacation — the second vacation he has had since oil began spilling out of the gulf. That’s okay though because the oil spilling is George W. Bush’s fault, just like all the new dead soldiers are George Bush’s fault too. Why should he care?
The problem for Barack Obama is simple.
The troops don’t like him no matter how much the White House propaganda machine tries to gin up staged pictures of Obama voting soldiers fawning all over him. But see the tepid response from cadets at West Point or talk privately with lots of soldiers and sailors and you get something else — they fundamentally do not respect their Commander in Chief.
There was no question they respected and loved Ronald Reagan. Same with George H. W. Bush, the last veteran of World War II to serve as President.
Obama? Not so much. And what does the left do when you point this out? They equate dead soldiers to political props/ Seriously.
By suggesting this President, in the midst of a war, should probably be going to Arlington National Cemetery for Memorial Day instead of taking his second vacation in a month, conservatives are somehow suggesting he use dead soldiers as political props.
After eight years of the left demanding publicity of flag draped coffins returning to Deleware from overseas to use as political props against George W. Bush, it is more than a little humorous to have the left now accuse the right of doing the same. It also ignores a fundamental point leftists too busy calling our soldiers “war criminals” and our dead soldiers “political props” miss — going to Arlington National Cemetery to lay a wreath at the tomb of the unknowns has nothing to do with using dead soldiers as political props and everything to do with a Commander in Chief who seems to not like the military showing some basic respect to the men and women, alive and dead, who have actually kept us free.
Obama may talk about the government in the first person, but the men and women lying at Arlington know differently.
Of course, Obama really doesn’t like the military, does he. [A period there, not a question mark, is intentional]

Calling all Chicago area veterans and military supporters
ColdWarrior (Diary) Wednesday, May 26th at 1:14AM EST (link)According to new reports, Opuppet will be participating in a ceremony at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetary in Elwood, Chicago on Memorial Day.
Remember the first time Slick Willie appeared to speak at the Viet Nam Veterans Memorial? Viet Nam vets in attendance stood during the speech of he who loathed the military and turned their back on him.
Imagine thousands and thousands of Americans standing along the motorcade route, holding their hands over their hearts as the flag on his limo goes by, and then, the split the second the flag has passed by, dropping their hand and executing an about face.
With video going straight to YouTube.
I’m sure there’s other ideas, but he’s turned his back on the military time and again — now it’s the turn of Americans to turn their backs on him.
I’m sure this is the kind of project the local Tea Parties, 9.12, WeSurroundThem, American Legion, VFW and other groups could get their members out for.
There’s probably lots of other ways to make the point, but I like the idea of having lots of individual Americans actually coming together to do this with the physical act of showing their disgust for Opuppet’s treatment of veterans, their families and those now serving in harm’s way.

Dead people can't faint or swoon
wilfranc Wednesday, May 26th at 8:34AM EST (link)Obama seems to feed on public adoration, and the ceremony at Arlington does not provide narcisstic food. Obama the delegator wouldn’t be so bad if he had better judgement in who he surrounds himself with.
The dead do and always should upstage any President. The President should attend if possible, no matter who he is, to acknowledge the relationship of the Office, not the man.
President Obama’s weakness is the content of his speeches, and they are especially weak when he has to be empathetic, compassionate or unifying. The correct words and actions concerning sacraficial death are the hardest for a President to get right. Gettysburg is a prime example. And in contrast, tObama’s words at the signing of the bill in memory of Daniel Pearl shows how important that task is.
Coincidently, Arlington was established as a military cemetery during the Civil War, and you would think the current President with his Lincoln obsession would want to participate.

I was instead pointing that your 2nd tweet on the subject earlier today was circular gibberish designed to score a cheap political point, at the expense of coherence.
Said you:
“Diff b/w Reagan and Bush not going to Tomb and Obama? No one questioned their support for soldiers and belief in American Exceptionalism.” about 8 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone
That’s an amazing feedback loop you’ve set up. Reagan and Bush were allowed to skip the ceremony, and avoid your scrutiny, because GOP pundits didn’t invent any absurd “questions” about their “support” for troops. Obama has to attend to answer the “someone” (translation: YOU) who questions his support for troops.
You’re the one using dead American soldiers as props. You’re the one using Obama’s ceremonial proximity to their remains to score points.
That’s all well and good. No one expects any better of you anymore. But don’t pretend your shrieks are a coherent argument.

callmeroy Sunday, May 30th at 2:50PM EST (link)Next, From Sunday’s 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, Televised “Meet the Press” THE THEN Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the American Flag. General Bill Ginn’ USAF (ret.) asked Barry Barak Hussen Obama to explain WHY he doesn’t follow protocol when the National Anthem is played. The General stated to Obama that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171…During rendition of the national anthem, when the flag is displayed, all present (except those in uniform) are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Or, at the very least, “Stand and Face It”. ‘Senator’ Obama replied: “As I’ve said about the flag pin, I don’t want to be perceived as taking sides”. “There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression..” “The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all that sort of thing.”
2 1/2 more years of this?
callmeroy Sunday, May 30th at 2:54PM EST (link)First we had the border control agent fiasco of Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean which President Bush totally mismanaged because of his One World Government desires (which involves Mexico, Canada, and US). By the way, why did George not pardon these two brave men after they spent time in prison for nothing? Then we had the Navy Seal boondoggle which under Barry Hussen brought a corrupt decision of prosecution by Major General Cleveland who supported Barry Hussen’s coup with some “Anointed One” lovers in the Pentagon. Every person in the military knows that Barry Barak Hussen Obama is trying to undermine and destroy our military and the American way of life. Example: when the Somali pirates captured Captain Richard Phillips of a merchant ship, the Navy Seals were told to stand down by the White House, and they did until they understood Barry Hussen was never going to act against the Muslim Somali pirates. It was decided to follow a rule where under duress they could act without direct orders bypassing Barry Hussen. They killed the pirates and Barry Hussen then took credit but was furious. Many people in the military think the Navy Seal prosecution was Barry Hussen’s payback against the Navy Seal response to the Somali pirates. By the way, where was the news coverage of CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, and MSNBS, PBS, and NPR about these brave American soldiers? What a disgrace these news organizations are to America. Now we have this. Remember, America, we have 2 1/2 more years of Barry Barak Hussen Obama. Pray to God each day for America and its soldiers.
No, 6 more months of this, then 2 years of trying to keep the RINOs from blowing it all. (n/t)

You know, remember? A few weeks ago? When Barry went to visit Graham and Billy right after the Pentagon revoked Franklin’s visit at the Pentagon’s National Day of Prayer service. Franklin Graham said he and Obama spoke briefly about the Pentagon spat, with the younger Graham saying that activists with an agenda were trying to pull all religion out of the military. “I wanted to make him aware of that,” Franklin Graham said. “He said he would look into it.”
