Why did Obama pick to hang with Hollywood airheads over our nations hero's?

obama = terrorist

People of Obama's cloth loathe the military and those who protect the flock for reasons being from their perspective we are too extreme and harsh. When exposed to the harsh realities of what the enemy will do without our protection, only then, if they have any kind of intelligence do they realize what we really exist for. Then, we are heroes.

A Medal of Honor recipient is the epitome of heroism and it is easily forgotten in the current trend of labeling everyone, from athletes to victims that did nothing at all, a hero. The mere fact he is allowed to get away with it is a total and utter disgrace to Veterans and military service members everywhere.

If he can easily disgrace the most honored of the Military past and present, how will he treat the common soldier, sailor, airman, and Marine?

If you've never served, you need to carefully and humbly step down and not press your opinions on this matter too deeply, for you have not a clue nor a basis to begin a defense for his actions in this instance.

He Didn't Snub Them (People, seriously, look stuff up, the only references are on right-wing propaganda websites, the same ones that have led the easily led to all kinds of lies about our president, the Commander-in-Chief's Ball is where he gave homage to our troops) There was NO Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball

President Barack Obama spoke to deployed U.S. service members via satellite during the Commander in Chief's Ball in downtown Washington, D.C., Jan. 20, 2009. Three hundred wounded warriors from Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., attended the ball.

In fact the American Legion page doesn't have a reference to "The Salute to Heroes" ball at all and the latest from the DoD has the last ball in 2005.

Hollywood is more glamorous and has the money.

Too bad he snubbed the real heroes. I bet there will be a lot more missed opportunities having to do with the military during the next four years.

nicely that relies upon if something else occurs on the courtroom in the previous Obama is out of workplace, if he get yet another %. it ought to alter the demographics of the the courtroom, extremely provide it a liberal tilt, yet while it keeps to be status quo, not something, changing a lib with yet another does not something

What kind of a sorry SoS do you have to be to not go to the ball honoring MoH recepients? What a stain his presidency is already turning out to be - and what do you mean "Give him a chance..." We did, and he skipped a ball for people far more deserving of honour than he is. Zark him.

He isn't worthy anyway. I'm sure when Clinton (the first president since FDR with no military experience) showed up, the attendees were probably wishing he hadn't. So I think Obama (the second president since FDR with no military experience) not showing up was probably ok with our nation's finest.

"It was the party without all of the celebrities that Obama skipped. The very people who he sought to have support him during his candidacy and campaign, who have fought to protect this country, were snubbed in favor of publicity and the opportunity to rub shoulders - yet again - with the out-of-touch Hollywood elite."

that cleveland leader article does not sound objective to me.

obama doesn't give a damn about the military. Thank God I retired before the worthless SOB became the Commander in Chief.

I think it's all about show and that's it. Today was the March for Life and unfortunately it did not get the attention it deserved. I doubt that the rich and famous showed up for this one. To me, Obama is not the person to demonstrate patriotism for this country. I can't wait to see what will happen to the US under His "reign". Gladly I don't have to answer to him but God.

i don't know hes a freak and has no experience in anything. i personaly think hes gonna blow up the world. and the only reason why he was elected was because he was black and everyone wanted a BLACK prez and CHANGE which isn't nessesarily good
