In the same speech, Obama gave voice to a harsh criticism he has heard about freely elected governments.

"Today, we sometimes hear that democracy stands in the way of economic progress," he said.

The shocking statement raises the question: Where has Obama heard this fatuous claim and with whom has he been talking politics?

Of course. He’s in another country visiting his Muslim brothers. Probably won’t lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers at Arlington. Which is best — he’s as out of place there as a turd in a punchbowl.

Are we supposed to care where our pResident is? Today is a day for those that served the country not those that want to destroy it.

Who can be disappointed by Obama?

Excellent analysis of Obama's genuine socialist purpose; read "Radical in Chief", Stanley Kurtz. Obama's deliberate madness and evil transformation of America proceeding according to his plan.

No. I don’t “know where” the usurper is. I do know where my Father, who fought in WWll, Korea and Vietnam is and he’s resting in peace. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the kenyan for NOT going to Arlington Nat’l.

Sounds as though our phony president has been confabbing with the Chi-Coms about the glories of a “planned economy.” What a disgrace he has been on this trip!

I don’t know where the resident is, but I just put my flag out! It’s a good day to thank a soldier, Marine, sailor, or pilot for their service. The one I want to thank the most is no longer with us, having passed on after living a long life.

Sgt Ray T., thank you!!

When my stepfather was a boy, he watched his own father and older brother leave home to fight and die in the struggle for Indonesian independence

Most American presidents and politicians (who can) point with pride at their father/grandfather/relatives who served America in the past. And, then we have Obama, this man of questionable heritage and country. A man who honors his step-father for serving Indonesia - the country Barack is most fond of, and...as it is believed, where he is still a citizen since he has never disavowed his Indonesian citizenship.

It is no wonder he places no importance or significance on American holidays and memorials. It would be interesting to find out if, before being elected, he ever celebrated any American commemoration at all. We all know it took him a while to learn to place his hand over his heart when the American National Anthem was being played. I am sure doing that was totally new to him.

My President is George Bush. obama is not my President and will never be. While he currently occupies the White House, obama will never be President. Why? Because to be President, one has to at least like the united States. But never the less, obama was put in Office by a majority of voters. Especially the young,White, syphilis faced pukes that voted for him. When they grow older and have no jobs and no prospect for a job because the policies of their messiah have destroyed the industries, when they decide they want to buy or build a house to live in and find that they are unable to,and last but not lease, when they reach retirement age and learn that they can't. Why? because of the policies and thievery of their savior have looted the treasury and there is no money. Then they will really appreciate him and their actions back on November 4, 2008 will be so much funnier than it was on that night to them.

Count, cadence, count
On me.
Let’s roll!
My back
Your six
Let’s celebrate Veteran’s Day TODAY!

Veterans’ Day’s not just a ‘day’
To show up, respects to pay.
Men who died hand down to us
Traditions in which we trust.

November
11th
in France
We win!
1919. We win! We win!

Russians fled — 1916
Winter’s ice: revolution’s dream.
Losing 2 ½ million men.
Brest Litovsk Treaty: their end.

Treaty of Versailles: one nine (19)
“War to end all wars,” The End.
Mustard gas and trench warfare:
60 million lives “over there”.

“Armistice Day’s” “solemn pride
…heroism of those who died.”
So did Woodrow Wilson say
11/11. Parades. Hooray!

Congress in 19 two one
‘stablished Unknown Soldier’s Tomb
In two two (’22) came th’holiday
Veterans’ service marked today.

Duty.
Honor.
Country.
We’re still ‘merica’s best and brightest!

"Today, we sometimes hear that democracy stands in the way of economic progress," he said. The shocking statement raises the question: Where has Obama heard this fatuous claim and with whom has he been talking politics?

He heard it from the dark side--from fascist and communist ideologies. But there is nothing fatuous about the claim. The constitution was written to prevent what became Jefferson's faction from inflating the currency, using judges to void contracts and the legislatures of the states from ripping people off by taking away property rights. It was also written to put as many limits on democracy as possible. Those limits obviously were not enough.
