How’s he going to feel at his picnic with the Southside Chicago Homies when he sees Biden on TV making a solemn visit to Arlington National Cemetary.
Is he too shameless to feel like a bum?
Should he be called the Bum-in-Chief?
What could he possibly be doing that would be more important than the Arlington visit?
We have a war in Iraq. We also have a war in Afghanistan. In both places, Americans are getting killed. Obama is the man at whose behest those men are serving in those extremely dangerous places, and their service is of the most hazardous kind imaginable. They are basically meals-on-wheels protectors and hall monitors to make sure the local populations don’t slaughter each other.
Everyman in these places has an automatic weapon, and an RPG, and a few boxes of high explosives. General Stanley MacChrystal (a student of Gen Petraeus, and Admiral Mullen) has our men wandering around — "Can I please win your heart?" — "Can I please win your Mind?" It’s Hue City — this is a movie we have seen before, directed by Gen. Westmoreland.
So the President wants a nice down home Memorial Day, near his pals like Bill Ayers, and Jeremiah Wright, and Axelrod, and Emanuel and Jarrod right there in Southside Chicago.
Biden, who really should be sent to France, or Italy, to visit an American cemetary there, is going to Arlington.
Who in the White House thought this one up?
What political advisor approved it?
Not Carville, that’s for sure.
Not Hillary, that’s for sure.
Maybe Janet Napolitano, and Leon Panetta, yeh, they thought this would be OK.
Obama the blunderer replaces Obama the wunderkinder. Dumb, not smart, like folks thought he was.
Malty21 - No - I am not going to Arlington, but then I’m not the President of the United States of America. I will however, display my American flag, teach my children what Memorial day means and say a prayor to God to thank the men and women who endured unthinkable sacrifices in order for me and YOU to enjoy our lives in a free society.

Probably doing what you are doing… Are you going to Arlington? Doubt it!
Do something about how you feel instead of ranting on Answers. You do not have a platform or audience here.
Who is going to look at this, 10 people? Do you feel better?
Go bury your head and walk with the sheep-le.

Homies? Why is what President Obama is doing this weekend so important to you? He has a right to take a vacation just like anybody else. †
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama plans to spend a long holiday weekend in Chicago.
The White House says Obama and his family will travel to their hometown on Thursday and stay through the weekend. It will be their first trip back home since a visit for Valentine’s Day weekend in February 2009.
On Monday, Obama is scheduled to participate in a Memorial Day ceremony at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood, Ill.
In Obama’s absence, Vice President Joe Biden will participate in the customary wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery outside Washington.

It is disappointing that he doesn’t choose to honor the nameless soldiers who made the ultimate
sacrifice. Not only loosing life, but loosing identity.

For the 200th time today for you retards that can’t read: He is going to Lincoln NationaL Cemetery. And to use your own words there must be 3 other BUMB-in-CHIEFS Reagan and both Bush’s missed attending services at Arlington while in office. Now bring on the thumbs down like the little chickens you are, because you can’t stand hearing he is not the only one to have sent the VP in his place. Well why was it O.K. for these 3 others to do the exact same thing?

George W. Bush started the war…don’t say Obama is to blame. He has a LOT on his plate.. Even as president he is allowed to take some time off, yes, even on Memorial Day. I don’t do anything on memorial day. You can celebrate fallen soldiers of wars past ANY day of the year! Bush took vacations ALOT, and he was even reading to kids at a school in Florida, during a vacation, when he was warned about the US being a target of terrorists! Explain that one to me..that’s right, there is NO GOOD explaination for that. He could have prevented it. Obama getting a little R & R does not make him incompetent as a president, nor has anything he has done. The soldiers that are dead, nothing more can be done, he goes to memorials frequently. What? He should go to Arlington, instead of his own family’s cemetary? If it wasn’t this, Obama would be criticized for something else, by people like you who didn’t want him to win. It’s a hard pill to swallow isn’t it?!
