 //  Obama’s Tribute on Memorial Day

Posted on Monday, May 31st, 2010 by Kevin Jackson

Hair freshly dyed to present a more youthful appearance, Obama asked Americans to honor our fallen soldiers.  As the black dye covered the true color of Obama’s hair, so his words highlight the color of his black heart on Memorial Day regarding America’s finest citizens, its fallen veterans.

No matter how Obama tries to present himself, Obama’s tribute to the military is as he has said,

…words, just words.

Instead of doing what a president should do on Memorial Day—attend the ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery to truly honor our fallen soldiers—Obama chose instead to shoot some hoops, then to attend a BBQ in Chicago…at Farrakhan’s house.

We shouldn’t be outraged.  Obviously Obama needed some rest!  He has been a busy man, likely the busiest president in history when you consider all that he has done.

This week for example, Obama may need to unwind after all he has done to stem the flow of oil in the gulf.  It has been a massive effort on the part of his administration, and after getting involved in earnest at the 33 day point, you can see all that he has accomplished in all his efforts—the same thing he has accomplished as a community organizer, a state Senator, and a Federal Senator…nothing!

Obama did use the one thing he finds so meaningful, again “words,” as he encouraged Americans to “hit the beaches” to help the struggling coastal economies.

I guess this is how a sissy encourages others to “storm the beaches!”

I suspect that delivering “words, just words” can be tiring.  I would never know, because most good Conservatives deliver results.  I do know however it can be tired for Obama to just be him.  Then again his fatigue could be that he is exhausted from all the shopping he has done lately?

Spending $1T is not as easy as it seems. The purchase of DeathCare, the funding of Unions, the financial disaster cover-up can be taxing, to say the least. It’s a shame that Obama lost steam (and money!) before he was able to complete the purchase of Sestak!

Obama has logged lots of frequent flyer miles flying from state to state wheeling and dealing for hundreds of millions with Democrat Congressmen and Union bosses!

Then there is Obama’s fight with Arizona over protecting its citizens from the scourge of illegal immigrants, another tiring battle to say the least. At least...

22622_cover_front

“Sexy Brilliance brings levity to the political discourse in this country. I put a comedic spin on what's happening in America, and showcases the ironies and hypocrisies of politics in America.”

Buy_now
in this one, Obama is teamed with Eric “America is a nation of cowards” Holder.

I’m sure our veterans would be happy to know that they gave their lives, so that the Obama administration would turn our country over to just any old body.  The country that ALL other countries of the world used to admire and used to send only their best and brightest, now willingly accepts the dregs of other societies.  The legacy of our veterans is being sold out for Democrat votes! America is being sold out, so a small group of elitists can implement socialism.

Thankfully Arizona doesn’t have to worry too much, since Obama and Holder are the two biggest sissies in the country!

When you have veterans who gave their lives to protect the 58th Parallel, you have to be happy  that they didn’t have to witness  pimp-slap of the Obama administration by North Korea, daring ObamaNation to respond to the attack on America’s ally and global trading partner, South Korea.

Here’s the wrap:

Obama can hearken back to the days of WWII and ask Americans to honor our fallen soldiers—as if he needs to tell true American patriots this—or he can ask us to “storm the beaches” to help the economy.  On most Americans, those paying attention, Obama’s words are hollow.

It may seem like hyperbole to say America is at war with itself, but it’s true.  The internal wars, like the War on Achievement, the War Against Capitalism, the War on Christianity, the War on Morality, the War Against True Patriots, The War on Sanity are wars that were started and are being executed by the person known as America’s Commander in Chief…at least by some, but not by me!

If this administration were to go unchecked, who will America celebrate in a few short decades? Van Jones? Nancy Pelosi? Joe Biden?!

Obama’s words about America’s fallen veterans are as empty as his suits. I am convinced more than ever that Obama has no love for America, at least not the one that most of us know and love. In honor of our veterans, I can only hope that real patriots rise up in November of this year and again in 2012 to restore their honor, and the honor of this country.

That’s my rant!

Nothing this guy does surprises me anymore. Praying that the fervor against all of the things going on will stay until November.

Like you, I am not surprised by Obama. But hanging with Farrakhan is pretty low, particularly this weekend.

Ya know Kevin, I grew up in Newark,NJ. A place where back in 70's and 80's saw a huge population of FOI. obama really reminds me of the guys I used to see selling the Final Call and bean pies on the streets everyday. The only thing he is missing is a crisp white shirt and bow tie.

Hey Kevin, I have looked for any story about this, but this is all I could find.. .http://www.politicsdaily.com/2010/05/30/obama-in-chicago-secret-service-standoff-with-farrakhans-fruit/ Wonder why it has not been reported if it happened. I read his speech was cut off due to a lightning storm?

I want to thank Obama for, instead of laying a wreath at the Fallen Soldiers tomb, he felt like he needed to refresh his "American Love-ha" at the Farakhan residence. Now this is the Farakhan who is with the Nation of Islam. He doesn't seem to find time to participate in Truthful dialogue with the American People, but has timie to rehash fond thoughts with one of the most radical sects in American History.

what scares me most is that even if we vote, Acorn and the immigrants will vote bigger and with more fraud than ever. Do you really think this narcissistic, FOI, suit is going to go away?

It’s nice to see a black guy with an honest opinion and intelligent assessment of oblaba and what’s going on.
To tell you the truth a lot of white people that never had a racist issue in the past are starting to see black people in a different way,… as very racist them selves to be able to support the treasonous things going on in the white house.
I think oblaba has set the black people of this country back generations and the damage he has cosed for all of us socially and financially will take generations to repair, if we ever can.

This is not a white thing, this is not a black thing, nor is it a hyphenated American thing. This is an American thing, it's a Constitution thing, it's a Liberty thing. It's about our our freedoms being striped, it's about our childrens futures being stolen, it's about the "new mob" in the White House.

It's about the lack of Civics and real American history in our schools. As American's we have an obligation to teach our children the truth that they do not learn in school. We will not become united as Americans until we do. We are allowing our childrens minds to be hijacked by these extremists. Teach your children, your nieces, your nephews, your grandkids and their friends. Help them to find love and honor in their country. Teach them respect for their fellow Americans and most of all, teach them to use their common sense.

Kevin, You are a true Patriot. Thanks for your comments and keep up the good work. We need to keep hearing these things to keep us informed and mad at this administration. We can do something about it. We can VOTE THEM OUT. It is our responsibility. Be Blessed.

Kevin it is another good rant and I always appreciate reading your take on these matters.

Right now Obummer is being overwhelmed by the scandals that he has caused. This week the Blagojevich trial is about to commence. Most people think that the trial is only about the attempt to sell Obummer’s Senate seat but that is not true. The scandal involves Tony Rezko and Stuart Levine. There is a lot more to the story than the LSM has told the public.

There is also another story that is brewing. I wonder how Moo feels about being a politician’s beard. If you do not know that expression then Kevin at Hillbuzz can it explain it to you. There is real potential for the eruption of a scandal that will shake a lot of AA’s out of their stupor and support for Obummer once they learn the truth about the meaning of AC/DC.

All of this is on top of the stonewalling about Sestak…. and let us not forget about Romanoff in Colorado also being made an offer not to participate in the Colorado Senate primary… then making up the lie about Clinton’s involvement!! Plus, as it turns out the alleged offer was for a job that Sestak was not eligible to take!!

However, let us not forget about the lack of response in relation to the oil spill. In such cases around the world it is usual that everything possible is done to minimise the spill, and that includes if necessary: giving permission to set fire to the oil, providing the necessary boom equipment, waiving the red tape so that the sand berms can be built, providing ships or whatever else is necessary for a mop up… and what do we see… nothing… nada.. zilch… zip… for more than 30 days… oh yes, he cancelled those licenses and that was all……

I would ask that all folks responding here, send out what communication they can to inform the world of mister obama's weekend activities…we already know that the msm will not get near to this story. My dear departed Mama would say: you are judged by your friends….


Bob says:
June 1, 2010 at 10:04 am

First, Farrakhan’s house? Seriously? You believe that?

Second I wouldn’t harp too much on the “what a president should do on Memorial Day—attend the ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery to truly honor our fallen soldiers” meme. Of the last 5 presidents (including BO) the only one to attend every Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington during his term in office was Bill Clinton. Reagan only made it about half the time.

Third, GoP delivers results? How did we like the results that got delivered between 2000 and 2008?

Last, and most importantly, this essay presumes to speak for all veterans killed in the line of duty. “I’m sure our veterans would be happy to know that they gave their lives, so that the Obama administration would turn our country over to just any old body” this douchebag says. Yeah, and I’m sure that every single veteran killed in the line of duty agrees with your politics, buddy. Just where do you get off trying to use our country’s war dead to advance your own partisan agenda?

Just another snake oil salesman, in my view, trying to make sure he can make an easy buck wrapping himself in the flag and insisting the men and women who gave their lives for this country did so to advance his opinions, and only his opinions. How arrogant can you get?


@Theblacksphere says:

He will be gone, and Americans will want him to be a distant, painful memory!


@Theblacksphere says:

Yes Oblaba has ruined the reputation of blacks in America for DECADES!

Thanks for recognizing my small contribution! We are all patriots!


@Theblacksphere says:
June 1, 2010 at 6:48 pm

Obummer has been suspected on being on the DL, which in the vernacular means he is bi-sexual. . As for his other dalliances and missteps, what else would you expect from a failed community organizer?


@Theblacksphere says:
June 1, 2010 at 6:49 pm

I hope they spread the word!

Hey Bob, to you Libs I am a douchebag, and more importantly I am the douchbag who will send retreating up the leg of the worm who spawned you. You knuckledraggers have run this country long enough. BTW the 8 years of which you wrote were run by Pelosi for six! It takes more than a bit of name-calling to think you can fight in The Sphere. I suggest you bring your brain next time!

I was curious to see what this article said because I had read another report. Basically the same but explains the re directing of the Pool to an undisclosed location…turns out to be in front of Farrakhan's house.

Great commentary Kevin. Obama can't even ACT presidential, but no surprise there. The fact that he didn't visit Arlington Cemetary was an affront and the fact that he spent Memorial Day with Farrakhan is beyond the pale. Kevin, wonder if our community organizer and chief consulted with the anti-semitic Farrakhan when word came down about Israel's skirmish with the "armed peace acivists" who were obviously provoking Israel by trying to run thru the blockade? Sorry for us that arrogance doesn't automatically equate to toughness.

I don't believe Obama was BBQing with Farrakhan. It was the Media Pool that was told to stay there and wait. Why be told to wait in front of Farrakhan's house? Intimidation, of course. Nothing more.

June 2, 2010 at 5:17 am

Outstanding post, Kevin. Obama's second vacation in a month is obscene – he squeezed in a quick photo op in the Gulf to make it a "working" vacation, but it was blatantly contrived. I hadn't noticed about the application of hair dye… crikey, you're RIGHT!

Concerning Arlington, I grabbed this from Gateway Pundit:

ABC tried to prop up the vacationing Obama on Memorial Day by bashing Bush.
The American Thinker reported:

The ABC News report on the rainout of President Obama’s planned Memorial Day speech in Illinois noted that Obama had been criticized for not staying in Washington to go to Arlington National Cemetery. But ABC provided a ready excuse, subtitling its report “Obama Not First to Skip Arlington on Memorial Day” and asserting that George W. Bush “did not attend in 2001 or 2002.”

ABC was flat-out wrong about 2001, and highly misleading about 2002.

In 2001 Bush was at Arlington National Cemetery. In 2002 Bush commemorated Memorial Day at the Normandy American Cemetery, where 9,000 Americans are buried. He was in Europe for the week.

(ABC has since updated their hit piece from yesterday.)
++++++++

In 8 years, Bush missed 1 Arlington wreath-laying ceremony… but it wasn't because he decided to have a personal vacation and shoot some hoops. Going to Normandy for Memorial Day while in Europe is, IMHO, a satisfactory alternative. Bush missed 1 out of 8 Arlington ceremonies, or just 12.5 percent. Obama, on the other hand, has missed 1 out of 2, or 50 percent. 'Nuff said.


classicfilm says:

I despise progressive-socialism, no matter what color the progressive-socialist is. Has nothing to do with Obama being half white – I despise Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid for their destructive ideology just as much.


Bob again says:
June 2, 2010 at 2:15 pm

Good god, douchesphere, you can’t even get your basic civics or facts straight.

Pelosi ran the country for six of the years between 2000 and 2008? WTF? First, the speaker of the house doesn’t run the country – not even close. Read the constitution. Second, January 2007 to December 2008 is two years, not six. I get that by counting the months between the time Pelosi took over as speaker (January 2007) to the end of 2008. No wonder you support people who constantly run up spending and yet call yourself a conservative (you’re not, btw, you’re just a pretender). You can’t do math.

You’re also not a veteran, but apparently you feel justified in speaking for all veterans – especially all those who gave their lives for their country and thus can no longer speak for themselves. I guess you’re just special huh? Must feel good to convert the sacrifices others have made for your own bilious moneymaking partisan agenda. No skin off your nose, right? Just keep the click to give me money button right up there in the corner for all the marks dumb enough to buy into your crap.
Have fun with your vitrol and your dishonesty. I hope it brings you what you deserve in life.

Oh, and if you’re going to make threats, at least try to make sensible ones. Frankly I can’t discern whether you are threatening me with bodily harm or threatening to try to make me have marital relations with my mother. Either way, I’m not particularly worried that you’ll be able to carry it out. But don’t let that stop you from being so classy!

bob yet again says:
June 2, 2010 at 10:40 pm

Also, douchey, recall that the dems didn't take back the senate until the 111th congress after the 2008 elections – the 110th congress was evenly split between dems and the GoP.

So your argument really is the party that controls the house of representatives controls the country.

Massive basic civics fail.


still bob says:
June 3, 2010 at 4:01 pm

Here's the truth – most patriotic by your idiotic criteria? Bill Clinton. Ronald Reagan even took a memorial day off without the thinnest of excuses, and only attended Arlington half the time.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/memorialday….

Eat it, freeper.


classicfilm says:
June 3, 2010 at 3:22 pm

You're hilarious. "Thinnest of excuses" – I recall that Reagan was recovering from an assassination attempt during one of those missed ceremonies. And was in Moscow attending a summit meeting for another and attending another summit meeting in VA for another. Yeah, those summit meetings are JUST as important to the Commander in Chief responsibilities as going on a second taxpayer-funded vacation in a month to Chicago, with the family, the dog, and mother-in-law in tow. Vacation twice in a month's time… liberals would obviously be OK with this, since the "spend 'til it's gone welfare mentality" is alive and well.

Truth hurts, statist. Quit leaving out facts so as to paint Dear Leader Obama as some kind of Boy Scout. You're exposing your ignorance when you do. And I've always commended Clinton among my associates and family on his Arlington participation… something I'm sure you have done as well with GW Bush. HA.


bababob says:
June 3, 2010 at 9:45 pm

ANNNNNNNNDDDDD he completely avoids addressing the fourth wiff, where RR was ON VACATION WITH NOTHING ELSE TO DO! As confirmed by snopes.

Typical freeper. If reality doesn't conform to your theory, its reality that's got it wrong.

Face it, Bill Clinton was the most conservative president of the last fifty years. So far, Bush Sr. was the second most conservative. So far, those two are 1 and 2 on my list of the best presidents of the last five. Jury is out on Obama in my view (he hasn't even had a chance yet to complete one year under his own budgets) but if he follows a Clintonian path I'll be happy. I'll give him some time to dial down the spending and get the country back on its feet after the 8 years of insane drunken spending clusterfuck idiocy of george jr, who in my view was one of the worst presidents in our history. You don't turn an aircraft carrier on a dime, you know.


XBAMA says:
June 8, 2010 at 1:36 am

In a way I'm glad he did not go to Arlington National Cemetery .
our fallen Soldiers deserve better than this pos

going to Farrakhan’s is more BO's speed
it is what I expected from this un-American sack of crap

maybe next Memorial Day he can go visit Hitlers grave
that is if he hasn't been impeached or put in jail
