Obama Snubs Nation's Heroes, Becomes the First President to Skip Ball Honoring Medal of Honor Recipients in Over 50 Years
Barack Obama may have stumbled over his words briefly during his inauguration, but he made an even bigger blunder later Tuesday evening. The newly sworn-in President opted not to appear at what should have been one of the most important Balls on his agenda that evening - The Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball.
The Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball was begun in 1953 for President Dwight Eisenhower's inauguration. The event recognized recipients of the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military award. There were 48 Medal of Honor recipients in attendance, who were undoubtedly disappointed by the Commander-in-Chief's failure to show. Over the past 56 years and 14 inaugurations, no President has skipped this event - until now.
Honoring the military, HIS WAY? (http://www.clevelandleader.com/node/8627)
I hope this isn't a glimpse into how he intends to treat the military, but I fear it may be.

:thatsright:

Slick Willie's policies (and those of Hillary, who moreso than Slick despised the miltary) in action.
This is truly deplorable.

Good grief. What an asswipe.
Hey Barack.... :bird:

I can't believe as low as I set the bar that he went under it.

He was too busy playing at being a hero, though the advocacy/adversary media's comparison of him to the USAir pilot who ditched his plane in the Hudson, to be bothered to be around true heroes.
Yep, this was preview of his arrogance and dislike of the U.S. military.
And he deserves all the derision possible for such a [expletive-deleted] attitude.

Sadly you're right. And welcome to the board. :cheersmate:

He promised change. There it is.

interesting. the MSM ignored this blatant offense against the military, but played up the fact that the first ball he attended* was the military ball. yes, yes, exhibit #83673 in the case against Obama when it comes to the military, I know.
*spent 3 uncomfortable minutes at, before running out the door for the gay environmental unionized socialists traitors ball.

I think the first ball was the neighborhood ball. The CinC ball was third. http://www.novinite.com/view_news.php?id=100616

I, for one, am glad he didn't go. He shouldn't be welcome at a gathering of Hero's!
He probably wasn't even invited.

This is the class and tact of The One and his supporters that we have to look forward to? :censored:

Some of the comments posted in the link that Thundley provided.
The article doesn't even say he was invited. There are no comments of regret from anyone who organized the ball. Or maybe they just invited him too late.
No matter what happened, if this is your biggest criticism of who, I might remind you, is our new Commander in Chief, then I feel even better about him being in office, not worse.
P.S.- Have a fun 8 years.
You guys are the most raciest bunch of people. Obama rocks! Idiots, he is not the messiah or the anti-christ. Get over it!!!
Wow, I see everyone is upset that the good ole boys club could be coming to an end! Let's try living in the here and now. It's a new beginning. Try to be accepting
of change. If we would have made some changes long ago, maybe we wouldn't be so screwed up and hated by the rest of the world.

Those people need to be lined up against a wall and shot.

Would we expect anything less? The Clintons set the bar for despicable behavior from democrat politicians. Obama is just trying to "one-up" them. He will most certainly succeed in a New York Second.
-
He was probably too busy shutting down Gitmo to be bothered.
-
I hope the military vote remembers this in 012.
-
Hello all .... :naughty:
Funky George Clinton + War Heroes = WTF ??? I mean Hilary's Twin Brother ... DUH!!!!!
So what exactly did they expect from Mr. Hang Dry himself ??
Oh well, Washington is now the New Hollywood and it's risen star is god-O-bama.
Funk it out babeeee .....
(I wonder if Bambi called the Iranian Arms Smuggling Ship after talking to Abbas??)

Welcome and elections have consequences.

That made me sick to my stomach.
WTF did they have a band like this playing there to begin with.

I wondered that too.....seems like a very odd choice.
Who picks the entertainment for the balls. The individual ball committees or is there one group that picks for all?

Obama bin Troopspitter!
And the hits just keep on coming.

Obama bin Stumble****

This doesnt surprise me at all.
Obama and the dems have turned out to be the administration I thought they would be.... :loser:

I agree. He went pretty low. Somehow I guess we shouldn't be surprised after that stunt in Germany.
