"every president since bill clinton has made a speech at the national jamboree. Obama decided to skip this one at Fort AP Hill Virginia, for The View. All we got was a lousy recorded message"
Note: 2010 is the 100th Anniversary of the U.S. Boy Scouts. It's a big deal. (No f'ng joke.)

Man. When it gets to the point that Boy Scouts are booing the president -- maybe Obama's days really are numbered.
They were booing the fact that he wasn’t there and only sent a video message
Yeah.
Ya gotta love it! Loosing support where ever he turns, due to his own arrogant ineptness.
I wonder how many of them realized that going on “The View” was just a pretext—he easily could have asked to be on that a different day—but that the real reason was his hostility to the Boy Scouts over their stands on homosexuals as scout masters and on atheism? For him to boycott the 100th anniversary jamboree was an insult.
I still so swear, even after all these years.
I'm sure it was a real tough choice.
I'm sure he made an indelible impression on the young men whom I view as part of the hope for America's future, just not a good one.
Not sure that was the best way to illustrate his absence. There's only been 2 presidents in that time-frame...counting Clinton. Having said that, I understand their anger but I'm pretty sure if I absolutely had to choose between Bonnie Prince Barack being there in person or on video, I'd choose the latter.
To help other people at all times.
And to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.
A Scout is: Trustworthy. Loyal. Helpful. Friendly. Courteous. Kind. Obedient. Cheerful. Thrifty. Brave. Clean. Reverent.
Still rolls. Everything 0 ain't.
Every President since Bill Clinton? That’s a pretty crazy thing to write considering, if you parse the sentence, that means only George Bush has spoken at the Jamboree.
About a week ago I saw a thread which contained some sort of depressing economic news. The MSM said that the figures for that week (in July) were "the lowest since May".
I guess they expect people to gloss over this stuff and not realize that the chosen time-frame is so short as to be nearly meaningless.
Reminds me of when Obama made his “historic” address to school classrooms.
Most of the kids I observed were bored stiff. The only time they reacted was when Obama scored a clunker by suggesting a longer school year.
He’s a legend only in his own mind, and he’s a scripted phony to boot.
When I was a boy scout, back in the 50s, the thought of
America being what it is today, with an illegal Marxist president, would not have been in a wildest nightmare.
Or maybe the Scouts have picked up on the fact that Obama is not the best friend the Scouts have ever had in the WH, and that he is hostile to many Scout ideals, and that he was probably smoking pot and lolling around during most of the years he was the age for scouting.
They probably recognize a non-kindred spirit.
Also probably more than watched him on The View.
maybe it is because he has completed his task this early on the unseen hand of our govt do not need him any more. he is nothing but a schill anyway
I have attended a heck of a lot of eagle court of honors this year. The eagle scouts are months later not been acknowledged by the white house. the eagle scouts say nothing, but they have not received anything as well.
It is on Drudge.
