#1 What? Obama didn't host his parents at the White House? I thought that was SOP for deserters.

#8 By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires:
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England:
God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more, methinks, would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made
And crowns for convoy put into his purse:
We would not die in that man's company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.

Henry V, Scene 4, Act 3

#10 Had to go train the militants before he forgot what the Marines taught him. Then go back for more training so he could teach the militants the advanced course.

Probably knew in the PC addled political structure of America he'd get away with it too.
