White House Issues Guides on Sept. 11 Observances By THOM SHANKER and ERIC SCHMITT
WASHINGTON — The White House has issued detailed guidelines to government officials on how to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, with instructions to honor the memory of those who died on American soil but also to recall that Al Qaeda and other extremist groups have since carried out attacks elsewhere in the world, from Mumbai to Manila.
The White House in recent days has quietly disseminated two sets of documents. One is framed for overseas allies and their citizens and was sent to American embassies and consulates around the globe. The other includes themes for Americans here and underscores the importance of national service and what the government has done to prevent another major attack in the United States. That single-page document was issued to all federal agencies, officials said.
After weeks of internal debate, White House officials adopted the communications documents to shape public events and official statements, and they sought to strike a delicate balance between messages designed for these two very important but very different audiences on a day when the world’s attention will be focused on President Obama, his leadership team and his nation.
The guidelines list what themes to underscore — and, just as important, what tone to set. Officials are instructed to memorialize those who died in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and thank those in the military, law enforcement, intelligence or homeland security for their contributions since.

Since when did 9/11 become a day to focus on Obama and his leadership? What leadership?
I think not. Obama should bury his head in shame on that day.
His foul wife hasn’t visited Ground Zero ever.
This fat-assed, dumb, greedy, racist bitch is a national disgrace.
The sooner we get rid of this whole obama clan, the sooner we will return to America finding it's way.
Leadership team?
What a bunch of spineless wankers.
Can you imagine Ronald Reagan during the memorials of Pearl Harbor and D-Day spinning those events as reflections of himself? Of course, the Dead Tree Media of the time did, on too many occasions, try and do just that, but President Reagan wouldn't have even begun to think that way.
What twits he and his people are. He's going to try elbow his way into the narrative at every step.
Such a small personality, he's the embodiment of television itself, reducing the depth of meaning of everything he comes in contact with, except for government patronage and oceans of deficit spending.
Obama CHEERED as the TOWERS fell and 3000 were murdered.
THAT is why he, the undocumented pRes _ _ent-by-trick,
demands a DAY OF SERVICE TO ISLAM.

re: Sept 11th 'Guidelines'Dear, White House
To whom it may concern, I don't need any 'guidelines'. However, based on your history and past performance I have some 'guidelines' for you:
Have a nice day and remember: Replace all divots and repair all ball marks on the greens. Also, please keep the Golf Carts ON the Cart Paths.
- STFU
- ESAD
- Follow the above two guidelines in order.
regards,
Citizens of the USAps: and NO Mulligans!
There is a pack of lies on Al Qaeda and “Arab Spring” on page two of this article. Obama and his cronies will use every importunity to obfuscate there real purposes.
“their”, of course.
Next our Socialist State will tell us how to mourn when a loved one dies.
Insanity appears to be rampant in this Obama administration.
When the second plane hits, ululate wildly .... ooops, sorry, accidentally posted from the internal White House document.
This makes sense coming from baraq.
He acts as if he is an African dictator who rules his country as his personal property.
His muslim roots compel him to include homages to islam despite the fact that it was the muslims who murdered 3,000 Americans. baraq has no emotional attachment to us or to our country. And yes, I do believe that he and his preacher, Bill Ayers, Van Jones and the rest of the cockroaches cheered when the planes hit the twin towers.
Never forget who brought baraq into the white house and where their loyalties lay. The Party and their media.
I can honor the day my own way, thank you.
they already do...we can not say God or Jesus in any prayer....
I just threw up in my mouth a bit.
I remember what I, our community, the US & public leaders were ALL doing - openly praying, all day long. (Do you remember George Bush’s prayers?)
The White House offers advice on how to “commemorate” the day - I didn’t see anything about prayer.
Just the title is disturbing! Guidlines needed to be established on how to mourn 9-11?
