No, it's not just you. I didn't like the attacks on the Democrats, but it does show a lack of respect and lack of class on the part of the White House or Congressional staff that organized the medal ceremony.
There is too much politics in this country these days and not just with the politicians. Sometimes I really fear for my country.
If that isnt the epitome of how our POTUS sees our soldiers, I dont know what is. Im to angry to post more but I reserve hte right to do so later.
It surprises me that anyone would take this at face value. By this time -- more than a year later -- there is more than enough proof that the people on the front two rows were SSgt. Giunta's family, previous Medal of Honor recipients and Secretary of Defense Gates. Didn't you think there was something wrong when the youtube video didn't show anything from the actual ceremony?

Perhaps you need a new pair of glasses, wom. FYI, all the recent MOH ceremonies have been live on TV here in the States - for anyone interested to view.Quote:

I saw the whole ceremony & felt that the focus was strictly on SSgt. Giunta & what he had done. He was very modest about the whole thing & would of rather saw his friends alive then receiving the medal. Pulling his friend out of there was for good reason as you saw on the U Tube the taliban mutilate their captures. SSgt. Giunta's buddies were also on camera, along with his family. The camera panned everyone involved.
No glasses needed.Quote:

What is it going to take to make them do their jobs? I don't understand how they can stand to look at themselves in the mirrors every day. Even if I had plenty to live on, I couldn't have peace with my self if I caused others undue hardships.
I think first thing on the budget should be to eliminate all of Congresses paid 'breaks', and no pay raises for them until they can prove they earned them. And only then after there is a balanced budget. sheesh:love:
Thanks for posting this.Quote:

Then the Gov budget would be ok till the middle of November.:rolleyes:
First time I ever heard of them celebrating Rosh Hashanah. It's not a government holiday that I know of. If they celebrate everyone's religious holidays, they will never get anything done. Wait, they don't get any thing done any way.Quote:

But, in the end there is no need to bother with those who are not willing to do their own homework. They are the minority and frankly are not deserving of their birthright of liberty.
But we will bring them along anyway.
MSNBC Is better than the Comedy Channel.Quote:

What a bunch of rude clowns-they interrupt each other, talk so quickly that they do not make sense and generally play the same clips over and over again.
FOX is no better, but MSNBC is the best at smearing anyone they thing deserves it.
The twits on Morning Joe need lessons in etiquette, Chuck Todd needs to either do a political show or do a food channel show -WTF do I care about the 'soup of the day' in the cafeteria? Andrea Mitchell is a stuttering moron and I get tired of laughing at the rest of the 'moderators' on the channel.
Why is Rachel Madcow on the air? I love her commercials about the economy and little bits of why the U.S. sucks.
I stopped watching FOX for the same reasons....MSNBC is more entertaining because the THINK they are making a difference.
A lantrine @ a Boy Scout Jamboree makes more sense than most of the 'on air' news/political channels...
At least the latrine has a purpose.... :p
Have you seen what a troop of BS's eat during a Jamboree.....:rolleyes::eek:Quote:

Now, I don't agree with what he said, but he really does have the right to say what he wants.
No, it does not have anything to do with the 1st amendment and the government, any company can can you if they believe you are not acting in THEIR best interest.........
BUT, ESPN/DISNEY promote probably one of the most violent sports and possibly the highest percentage of alleged and proven criminals.

Kinda funny when the 'company' says you can't say things that really show what an idiot you are, then promote a product where some of the performers are a smidge away from being full blown criminals/convicts.
So much for the family of values....;):rolleyes:
Disney is the biggest bunch of hard*** beestards about protecting their trademarks/copyrights (or at least they were in the Eisner era). BUT...anything that's a pop culture icon like that can easily be co-opted into the public sector, so I guess I can't blame them.
They put on a great show, though.:) But the Hank Williams Jr. thing does seem a bit hypocritical IMO.
There was a kindercare business that painted a mural on a wall and disney went all out to get them to cover them over...Quote:

That and there was a show on NPR where they spoke about Disney's use of interns to cut costs within the company.
At the millenium Disney spoke about putting all the old movies into 'retirement' and they sold DVDs that were the last chance for the public to own the original films.
Now it's blu-ray and 3-d special editions....:eek:
Nothing better to do in the Florida Legislature?
