A somber Memorial, Barack Obama styleEven the dead do not escape the consummate self-centered President Barack Obama, whose astro-turfers could not pass the opportunity of dressing the backs of chairs at the memorial venue for all those who lost their lives in the Arizona tragedy with t-shirts emblazoned with the eternally campaigning Obama’s latest slogan. “Together we Thrive:Tucson & America†not only seems to have replaced “Hope & Changeâ€, it made its inappropriate and tasteless debut at a memorial service that looked much more campaign rally than a memorial paying respects to Saturday’s dead.The dead don’t know their last farewell came in a blaze of blue and white sloganeering, but their heartbroken and grieving loved ones do.Word this morning indicates the idea for the tacky t-shirts originated with University of Arizona brass. Whether astro-turfed or university initiated, Obama basked in it.Obama entered the stadium to deafening applause. Was it, too, orchestrated by university brass? Wearing their most appropriate in-sympathy countenance, both Obamas walked in to the McKate Memorial Center on the University of Arizona campus Wednesday in condolence mode.During the speech that media pundits forecast would lead to a new, more centrist president, incredibly the audience screamed out to Obama, “We love you!â€There were resounding cheers for unpopular Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.Popular Governor Jan Brewer was booed.Most Surrealistically of all, Attorney General Holder, of “Americans are cowards†fame read the 2nd letter of Paul to the Corinthians.
looks more like a fricking seiu convention than it does a memorial.WTF is napolitano doing speaking there. This was supposed to be a memorial and had nothing to do with homeland security.
Someone had to have sufficient clout to make the order to the ICE folks not to check green cards at the stadium gates stick.
She's former governor of AZ.
I watched it, it was a disgusting circus complete with a Musolinni-like chin thrusting clown leading applause in what should have been a rememberance of people murdered.BTW, the rumor is those tees carry barry's 2012 campaign slogan.
