| Obama Salutes Military as Only He Can |

| HT to JammieWearingFool President Barack Obama saluted veterans and urged his countrymen to do the same this Memorial Day weekend, saying the nation has not always paid them proper respect. It's that spitting on veterans thing. The Republican Party's never gonna live that down, is it? In his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday, Obama said people can honor veterans by sending a letter or care package to troops overseas, volunteering at health clinics Whether there are any vets there or not? or taking supplies to a homeless veterans center. He said it could also mean something as simple as saying "thank you" to a veteran walking by on the street. We look pretty much like everybody else, y'know. "We have a responsibility to serve all of them as well as they serve all of us," Obama said. " And yet, all too often in recent years and decades, we, as a nation, have failed to live up to that responsibility. We have failed to give them the support they need or pay them the respect they deserve. We veterans are a forgiving lot, despite the likelihood of our turning into domestic terrorists. "That is a betrayal of the sacred trust that America has with all who wear and all who have worn the proud uniform of our country," he said. The president planned to attend a Memorial Day ceremony Monday at Arlington National Cemetery. Makes me wanna puke |

| #7 Makes me wanna puke More like sit up and take notice that in his consolidation of unprecedented power in nationalizing business and industry in the name of 'national emergency' he's playing the old nice doggie distraction while trying to find a stick [Obama Youth recently authorized by the Donks]. He recognizes one institution he doesn't own and which still has loyalty to 'uphold and defend the Constitution' and has the means to make it happen is one he needs to at least 'play' nice with, for now. He understands power. He also grasps the 'last great hope' that may impede his way. |
