Is anybody surprised by this? Should they be?

Obama disrespected our British allies too.

Barack Obama 'too tired' to give proper welcome to Gordon Brown

Peg Luksik makes a very good point. Obama not showing up for the Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball was not an oversight, it was a snub and reflects this boy presidents disdain for our military.

Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball = Salute to Heroes Ball

Thank you for posting this....I never knew it happened!
This president is doing many bizarre things uncharacteristic of any past president. His term will be up in four years, his popularity is dropping daily. He’s acting like some small time political hack....not a president. The Obama Gaffe book will be huge after 4 years!

I knew Mitchell Paige (Medal of Honor - Guadalcanal...pics on my page) and he told me that he boycotted Clinton's second inaugural because he despised him so much.

A picture is emerging of this naive and immature president. He is targeting every enemy of the angry left, including our British allies.

I agree, his absence was deliberate.

Thanks, EB. What a privilege for you to have known Medal of Honor recipient Mitchell Paige.

This is old news that Obie didn’t visit the Medal of Honor receipients. But then why is anything else expected? Obie, as a good Lefty Democrat is anti-military. Never expect a change.

President Bush was able to conduct the WH business, be gracious to his foreign guests and even find time to excercise and still be optomistic and confident.
The coke snorting slouch desecrating the WH now can’t even come up with an original gift idea for an important dignitary. We are sooooo screwed!

I don't, not in him.

But he's hellbent on changing the rest of us, isn't he?

I saw a snippet of video showing the Anointed “0”ne and his family getting off of Marine 1 and him tossing off a smug and arrogant “salute” to the honor guard...made me want to punch him in the nose...
