It has been a long standing tradition for the President of the United States to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Memorial Day. Not for Barack Obama.
He is skipping the ceremony for something truly important for this country- another vacation.
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.
That certainly sounds like one of those “great broken promises.” If this doesn’t tell you what Obama really thinks of vets, nothing does. Each of us has his own priorities, and Obama has his.
Then again, breaking this tradition might have to do with a deep seated psychological problem of Obama’s- he sees dead people.
On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.
Maybe he’s still haunted by the ghosts he saw in 2008. Or maybe he couldn’t care less about the traditions of the United States. I never liked Barack Obama but this is shameful.
