Zer0 should have been on the Mall last night and at Arlington Today. On the other hand, karma has a way of making things work out.

It’s kind of funny, but he probably was happy about it as I’m sure he didn’t want to be messing up his 4 year vacation with trivial commemorations in the first place.

Hmmph! Where would we be if our troops didn’t fight in the rain and snow.

Was the whole thing canceled or just our water sensitive pres.

Huh.

My Dad fought in the wet season in Korea. Don't remember him wimping out over the rain.

Figures.

The less I see of Obama pretending to care about our troops, the better. To him I say: Stay home, wannabe.

As for our troops, particularly our wounded and departed, I say, thanks again. We remember you.

Somehow, that seems appropriate.

For myself, I have come to think many things about Obamao, his skipping out on the Arlington Ceremony is the first time I’ve been honestly disappointed in the man, I used to have some modicum of respect for him, now, he is the dude who skipped out on beloved Grandmother’s funeral because “it’s a drag”

BHO claimed he was worried about “the children” being hit by lightning.

If anyone was going to be struck by lightning . . .

I think the veterans in heaven got together and said “not today moron, we’re not in the mood.”

I got the impression in Summer, 2008 that the Big-O could part the clouds and bring back the sun.

Guess I was wrong.

You should read FR more. Seriously? That's the only beef you have with this Marxist?

I agree.

NOT a combat vet, I still remember those I had to collect as a medic...

But those who never served are in charge, and I can’t see things getting better any time soon.

So it goes.

Can we arrange a similar storm when he comes to Pittsburgh on Wednesday?

Alas, I think the b-s event he is starring in is indoors. Still, lightning can strike indoors too....
