Not surprisingly, the FactCheck.org article seems to have disappeared.

And Juan, I don’t see this one as a fight, just another example of the disdain our new President has for the troops.

Juan:

several things: It might not feel that way to you but to a number of us it feels exactly that way. The president chose not to attend a ball hosted for the winners of the highest military honor. As wikipedia defines it –”The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration awarded by the United States government. It is bestowed on a member of the United States armed forces who distinguishes himself “conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States”.[1] Because of the nature of its criteria, the medal is often awarded posthumously.”
Barak Obama is the first president NOT to attend this ball since it started. As for who cares — I do! BTW, the President of the United States is the commander in chief of the US Armed Forces. U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 2. When the commander in chief does not take 5 or 10 minutes to show up for a party to honor those who have been awarded the highest military honor in our coutry, it smells like a snub to me.

The basis of the complaint is that Obama snubbed the troops with this. But it doesn’t even feel that way. Yes, he didn’t visit, but who cares? He visited with soldiers regardless. You can choose and pick your fights, and I will say, this really isn’t one to bother with.

Translation of email: “I love Obama and facts are immaterial to any conversation regarding him.”

Looks like the media hypnotism worked as intended.

Well, you can tell from his e-mail address that he’s never worn a uniform. Only the Army has Military Police (MP). Navy, Air Force and Marines have Security Police (SP). I love it when people make the little mistakes that give themselves away.

Well….

Don’t confuse him with the facts, his mind’s made up.

Many years ago I had a room mate at Ft Sill who was an MP. The best way to yank his chain was to remind him that one of the key ingredients in wimp was “MP”. In deference to Cassie’s boyfriend I will not get started on Marines. Go Army.
