Next year we’ll have a president who cares about and doesn’t despise the U.S.A. Thank God.

Just another middle finger in the eye of all that stands for America. That includes most of US.

Why Kerry, Clintons and a bunch of other communist ratbastards aren't in prison or hanged is beyond me...but I am am a poor wayfaring stranger, just passing through...

I personally think that is good for the Troops, why would they want to be under military supervision instead of having the day off?

I bet the troops were being forced to go rather than an all volunteer attendance.

Hopefully all that pork barbecue wasn’t wasted ... I’m sure his Muslim brothers would chow down provided it was after dark and it was marked “barbecue goat and sheep”.

Our president is a low life scum bag I can not wait until the guy leaves this earth forever.

I certainly agree that he is a scum bag. I don't wish him ill, physically, but I just want him to go away! I CANNOT wait until Trump takes the Oath of Office and Obama is gone.

To whatever place he wants to go, as long it's not in the U.S. and he doesn't subject us to his interviews on Sunday talk shows, etc. That is my fear. He won't stop trying to inject himself into the national dialogue. He will continue to try to make himself relevant, even though it is so clear that no one wants him around.

So the troops won’t be invited in for the “performance”? Just turned away?

On the plus side, at least the troops did not have to endure being in the presence of the Usurper and his beard, the Wookie!

Many of them must have been relieved.

Perhaps a lack of interest?
Why would a Veteran want to party with the enemy?
