Obama To Be A No Show At Memorial Day Ceremony
KGO Radio | 5/25/2010 | me


Obama will be taking his second vacation since the Horizon drilling platform explosion.

He will be on vacation in Chicago this Memorial Day, instead of presiding over Memorial Day ceremonies at Arlington.

This may be the first time since the Civil War that a president will not pay respect to the veterans passed.
 
He obviously has no honor for those who died fighting for their country.
 
On Monday, Obama will make remarks at the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery, south of Chicago - missing the usual tradition of presidents speaking at Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day.

Vice President Biden and his wife will appear in Obama's place, laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, as well as holding a breakfast for Gold Star families -- families whose loved ones died in military service -- at the White House earlier that day.

One must understand that many who died did so to advance America's evil agenda.
 
And yet not a word of condemnation from Lit's righties about Bush, who put an extra five thousand headstones in Arlington.
 
This is the sort of "hormone cocktail" issue that Republicans who know squat about politics will ride to death. The ones who forward on sappy Memorial Day emails and have internet shrines dedicated to Joe the Plumber.

Of course, if Obama did go to Arlington, they'd be asking, "What about that campaign promise he made to go back to Chicago"? ;)

Not sure that all the dead are buried in Arlington.

Chickenhawks Dick Cheney and Karl Rove keep some in their private trophy rooms.

First of all, he doesn't "preside" over the ceremony. He attends, makes a speech and lays a wreath.

Obama attended the ceremony at Arlington on Memorial Day 2009 and Veteran's Day 2009. He is not the first President since Lincoln to skip the ceremony, as Bush Sr. didn't attend in 1992, nor did Reagan in 1983.
 
Remember Obozo's 4th of July fiasco last year?

He didn't know the difference between th 4th of July and Memorial Day.

Nope, don't remember.

His daughter's birthday is 7/4. I think he knows the difference.

RR was BUSY

read

At Arlington National Cemetery, thousands gathered for the traditional wreath-laying ceremonies at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and a new tomb was dedicated to the 58,000 men who died in the Vietnam War. But that crypt lies empty, because there are no unidentified casualties from the divisive conflict.

President Reagan, continuing his summit meeting in Williamsburg, Va., with leaders of the industrialized democracies, proclaimed Monday "a day of prayer for permanent peace" and called on Americans throughout the country to unite in prayer at 11 a.m.



The COLORED FOOL will spend time with teh COLORED CUNT

Big DIFFERENCE!:rolleyes:

Not only that, but Reagan didn't attend in 1992, nor did Bush Sr. in 1983.
