I wake up every day hoping to hear news that Obama was removed from office. To even speak the name “Obama” turns my stomach. Will the ways that he can show his contempt for the ideals our Country was founded upon ever end? His presidency, his administration, and his friends are an embarrassment to the long and storied history our Country enjoys.
The United States of America has made mistakes during our history. I believe our top redeeming quality is that eventually, we try to right our wrongs. Changing minds, laws, and culture is a slow process. We are certainly far from perfect, but risking a comparative argument, we are the best Country in the world. I don’t see the exodus of our citizens and illegal guests to other countries. That being said, what were people thinking when 65 million of them voted for this liberal extremist?
Back to the issue at hand…since 1968, the President of the United States has placed a wreath at the grave at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery the vast majority of the years. Sometimes foreign commitments have kept the Presidents from going to Arlington. This year, a President that is surrounded by liberal extremists has decided it is more important to go on vacation to Chicago than to be at Arlington on Memorial Day. What a weak excuse for missing an important American tradition. Obama will scurry back to Washington to honor that great American hero Paul McCartney. That will be, I’m sure, an important national event that the President is obligated to preside over, unlike the silliness of putting a wreath at a tomb.
Obama is a disgrace as a President. He does not protect this Country, he appeases our enemies, bows to everybody, and apologizes for everything. How bad is he? He is so bad that his presidency makes me long for the good old days of Jimmy Carter.
Well done Steve…unfortunately, our stomach virus won’t heal for another 3 years. Laying a wreath at Arlington would require a menial display of national pride and integrity by The Obominable. The puppet masters are probably still pissed that he was unable to control his insincerity during his ‘tough guy’ oil leak speech last week. Basic body language 101.
I think it’s hilarious that this was defended with “but it isn’t the first time a President has missed it…”
Um, yeah. Two other times:
One time, Bush Sr. was insteadspeaking to a veteran’s group in Maine, and Vice-President Cheny laid the wreath.
The other time, Reagan was at the G-7 Summit at the time, and the Defense Department handled the official duties.
Really, that makes it “okay” to just skip out and go on VACATION?? Jeez!
