o'hand over heart - "Obama prefers McCartney over troops."

From: kd/jt/lc Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2010  From: news@glennbeck.com Subject: Obama prefers McCartney over troops

"Isn't it sad that our president isn't going to lay the wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier?  He is going to Chicago to be with friends.  A slap in the face to military families, and indicative of his lack of respect for those who served or are serving."  -- JT

"But do we really think that those fallen heroes would want the sumnab***ch there anyway?" -- LC


.. "President Obama is skipping out on Memorial Day ceremonies at Arlington this weekend - but don't worry, he'll be back in time for a
Paul McCartney concert!   What a guy.   What a leader.   But this isn't shocking, the President just doesn't seem too fond of America. " ..


Obama will use Memorial weekend for a trip home to Chicago


'Obama skips Memorial Day tradition'

With the long Memorial Day weekend on the horizon, President Obama is finally addressing one of the great broken promises of his administration: his early pledge to return home to Chicago every six weeks or so.


In 16 months at the White House, the Obamas have been back home just once - in February of 2009. But they plan to make the trip over Memorial Day weekend, an official said. After arriving on Thursday night, they will visit with friends and participate in private events.


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.
