Default Since that's the case

then you REALLY must be pi$$ed-off at Ronnie Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and his son GW Bush......huh???

Because.................as a friend of mine pointed out on another web site-------

According to Snopes.com: ".....In 2002, President George W Bush was in France on Memorial Day and participated in ceremonies in Normandy......Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.....

President George H W Bush (himself a WWII veteran) attended no ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery during hs four years in office.......


President Ronald Reagan was away from Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day on four occasions during his eight years on office......


On Memorial Day 2010, President Barak Obama is scheduled to honor America's fallen heroes with a speech at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Chicago, while Vice President Joe Biden takes his place at Arlington....."

So either your contempt for Obama blowing off Memorial day is,
sadly, misplaced..... or your obvious bias is overwhelming to the point of being somwhat ridiculous. Which is it?

Gimp


BTW----------Bill Clinton attended ALL 8 of the Memorial Day Services at Arlington during his Presidency, were you aware of THAT also?----Just asking.
