Topic: Another shameful moment in history,,, | |
---|---|
If it didn't matter "where" he was born, say Iran for example, like Obozo and the Kenya issue, how can you be sure he has the best interest of the American people in mind? We could have had "Terminator" Arnie (the good little Nazi) as POTUS and we would have been broke by now (like he did to California!) Rules are there for a reason! No, I think that Arnie had good intentions at first but when they rejected them he just went along with it. Californians aren't the smartest voters as has been proven. They have what they want now, Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown. Good luck to them. They will need it. |

http://www.thoughtsfromaconservativemom.com/2011/05/after-obligatory-memorial-day-wreath-ceremony-at-arlington-obama-hits-the-golf-course-fb/ *K at Free Republic confirms the story*<http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2888848/posts> *:* *So this is how Obozo honors those who served….I just had this passed on from a friend who was at the wall this morning:* *I normally try to avoid political statements, but this one is a bit different. This was received by Colonel X X X X X just a few moments ago, who was refused access to the Vietnam War Memorial, where he has visited his fallen comrades for the last 15 years.* *Today is Memorial Day and I went to the Vietnam Memorial and something happened there that upset me greatly and I want to pass it on.* *For over 15 years I had been going with my dear Marine buddy, Larry Cullen. Since he passed away last year and was interned at Arlington Cemetery, I went this year accompanied by my grandson, Cameron. I had my list of Recon Marines, school classmates, and Larry’s fallen buddies to visit but, as we got close to the area of the National Mall where the Wall is located, we saw huge white tents. We also saw barricades all along Constitution Ave and for a couple blocks in each direction from the Wall. They even closed down all of Constitution Av from the Lincoln Memorial all the way to the WW-II Memorial and there was a virtual army of uniformed and plain-clothes security everywhere.* *The biggest tent was right at the west end of the Wall entrance and there was a covered walkway leading right up to The Wall. It was so close, you couldn’t get to the Wall on that side so, **my grandson and I went all the way around to the eastern entrance to the Wall and walked down along the Wall to the first of my names and I began telling my grandson about my buddies and how each one died. In short order, a guy in a dark suit and earpiece in his ear told us we had to leave as it was 0730 and they were cloerans and families were forced to leave and it was locked down.* *The Vietnam Memorial is the most visited site on the entire National Mall. Memorial Day has more visitors to the Vietnam Memorial than almost any other day.** Even at the rather early hour Cameron and I were there, there were a lot of veterans and family members down there. In the midst of all that, Obama decides to close it for over seven hours just so he can roll by for 30 minutes in the afternoon for a campaign appearance with Democrats, supporters, and campaign donors? **This is an incredulously arrogant, egotistical, and inconsiderate thing to do. What in hell was Obama thinking? * *Hey President Obama: Since you ran me (and all the other veterans and family members) out of the Memorial before we finished our business there, how about doing me a favor. If you can take a short break from all the grippin’, grinnin’, posin’ and pontificatin’, how about taking a minute or two to stop by and say hello to my fellow Recon Marines and other classmates on the Wall. I suspect you’ll be too busy with photo ops, campaigning, and stroking donors to be troubled with a couple minutes doing what the Memorial was built for but, just in case, here’s a list so you can have your man find them and point them out to you. Hope you have a Meaningful Memorial Day.* *Joseph J. JONES; 53-W-02** Sherwood David Kreis, 42-W-40 Dale Kagebein, 34-W-50 Jerry Bock, 25-W-95 Larry Daniels, 09-E- 66 Joe Mack Kemp, 09-E-69 Rhonda L. Raglan, 09-E-70 Robert L. Studards, 09-E-71 Jose D. Flores, 09-E-74 Arthur Willie Greene, 14-E-56 Eric Barnes, 17-E-41 Godfried Blankenship, 17-E-48 Michael Ray Smith, 19-E-113 Ervin Lovell, 19-E-120 William D. Martin, 25-E- 87 Michael L. Laporte, 26-E-1 Ronald Frederick Kitzke, 32-E-76 Charles Harris, 34-E-48 Robert Tracy, 34-E-72 Michael G. Murdock, 36-E-57* *Maybe it would have been better for everyone if Obama had **just gone golfing like last year<http://www.thoughtsfromaconservativemom.com/2011/05/after-obligatory-memorial-day-wreath-ceremony-at-arlington-obama-hits-the-golf-course-fb/> **. Unfortunately, this is what veterans and their families have to suffer when Obama is in full campaign mode.* *No wonder a recent Gallup poll showed **veterans prefer Mitt Romney to Obama, 58% to 34%<http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2012/05/on-memorial-day-veterans-give-romney-a-24-point-lead-over-obama/> **.* |

the logical decline continues,,,,
'gripe',,,HE doesnt even respect veterans enough to visit the memorial on memorial day OR 'gripe' HE actually shut down the area around where he was going to be (unheard of , right?) while he visited the veterans on memorial day ,,,,no matter what you do, if they dont like you, they will find something to gripe about OBAMA 2012!!! |

even if obama were to urinate on the veterans memorial there would be an excuse from you

even if obama were to urinate on the veterans memorial there would be an excuse from you actually there wouldnt but I do specifically remember the whinging about him NOT visiting a memorial just last year, and th is year someone whinging that when he DID visit they had the NERVE to shut down the perimiters its called DAMNED IF YOU DO AND DAMNED IF YOU DONT,,,and Obama deals with it fairly regularly as potus,,,,, |

the point is that, this would have never been done to a white president. Whether or not people want to admit, this country is still a little racist sometimes So true. More than "a little" racist. There are so many people who are just spreading ridiculous bald faced lies about Obama and everything else, it just makes me sick. I think from now on, everyone running for office of President should have to present his proof of eligibility. If they did it to Obama they should do it to everyone else. |

you don't ever come across that way msharmony. i read your posts in non political threads and you come across as a nice, educated, well rounded woman
looking around when bush was in, people disagreed with him, but the government SEEMED to be all working towards the same goals. looking around now with obama in, it SEEMS like the attitude is every man for himself. irl i look around and people are arming themselves, and those that can, have military grade weapons in their homes. husbands are buying assault rifles for their wives. krupa posted a thread about a pink gun for a girl, and it wasn't a bb gun. change has come msharmony, but not the change obama spoke of |

Or would this be happening even if we had a white president? Is it the "inevitable" economic collapse coming that everyone is talking about? Or is is about human rights, the constitution, freedom etc? What do you think is going on esebulldog? Surely you are not blaming everything on one man, Obama! Are you? |

Are you? if there was a deep seated fear of blacks in this country we would have a woman vp. people would rather have any man in charge over a woman racists and alarmists thrive on propaganda, it isn't just about obama blaming anyone for anything is counterproductive. one finger points toward them and three point back at yourself. i could give a flying flock over a rolling donut if a one legged episcopalian kangaroo from mars is potus. it's about the man in front being able to rally everyone towards a common goal |

I believe CHANGE of that type (mlitancy, rebellion) has been coming long before OBAMA,, OBAMA made the mistake (in my opinion) of thinking he could help to unite people who will fight tooth and nail to avoid anything he may receive credit for,,,, rebellion has been around, but now they are drawing more and more support. not to mention the individual efforts to arm themselves obama can't get both parties behind him so he can lead this country, so we need a leader that can lead everyone |
