Presidential greetings were in fact first initiated during the year 1910, 100 years ago not 118 years ago.
OK so he is the first President in a 100 years to not send a rep or show up. DAR is a conservative org so they don't count I suppose. My understanding based on inside information is that at the opening they allowed 3 minutes for the WH rep to show up for the keynote address. 3 minutes of silence was allowed and then they went ahead and skipped the traditional keynote address. Incredible.

American traditions are of no interest to Mr. obama, I believe.

Despicable. But what else can you expect?
He sends the Bust of Churchill back to Britain,shuns the celebration of the fall of Communism (looking for his crying towel,no doubt),and now this.
He could not be bothered less.He's such a small,pathetic man.

Zero also disrespected the observance of the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Angela Merkel invited him to be there and he was too busy being a crying Kenyan tittie baby to go. (Props to Imus for calling O a “tittie baby” recently)
Zero is now officially on the “ittie bitty tittie committee”. (stole that from another Freeper)

The DAR is full of typical white people.
The great 0 has no time for them.

Probably because the DAR and SAR are likely to become founding members of the DSAR and SSAR.

Easily explained. Their motto is “God, home, and country.” Doesn’t work well with developing another people’s democratic dictatorship.

from the link’s website:
“What could have been so important in the President’s schedule that would make him miss, in my words dis, Continental Congress? President Obama was meeting with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and Russian President Medvedev at the Kremlin and instead addressed the 2009 graduating class of the New Economic School at Gostinny Dvor and later met world leaders at the G8 Summit.”
obviously he had his priorities...cough, cough...

President Barack Obama became the first American president in 118 years to abstain from the same long tradition of addressing the Daughters Of the American Revolution (DAR) Continental Congress, named after the governing body of the American Colonies during the American Revolution.
It's an even older political tradition called boycotting.

Obama is so over confident that he now thmbs his nose at his enemies.
He already has a list.
The DAR members should now know that Obama is indeed an enemy of the Republic, and of conservatives inn particular.Obama will destroy every one of them if he can.

Obama is not an American that's why he ignores everything that made this country great.
If he could I'm sure he would speak before the black panthers or some other radical organization.
