Obama dissed *Medal of Honor holders*, in favor of youth and celebs.

Well, we know he p.o. you for one, just by being elected.

Perhaps I will write a letter to the President, asking why he did not attend that particular ball. Will let you know, when and/or if I receive a reply.

To be honest Ild be pissed for the next 4 years if McCain had gotten elected and would be posting this type of thing as well.

Actually Im more POed that people are trying to spin this off of the POTUS and making excuses for him.

So you're p*ssed that Obama was elected, and you would have been p*ssed if McCain had been elected. Did you vote for one of the 3rd party candidates - or did you not vote for that particular office?

Im not pissed that BO got elected, yet. With his cabinet and what he has proposed as "change" for this country this still could be a very angry four years for me.

At the end I was pissed McCain was the repug canidate and would have been very angry if he had been elected, he would have been a lame duck from day one.

I voted Libertarian for the first time last year.

You are not PO but, you will be angry for 4 years?

It's beginning to look like being PO'd is a permmant condition with you.

Oh Blue - just turn on Rush and Sean. You'll feel better in no time at all.

If this is the only thing you can focus on right now, you should count yourself lucky.

Not Sean... He is an embarrassment, but he is who he is and his audience is quite loyal. But Rush, love him or hate him IS an important part of the national dialog. You know, "dissent being the highest form of patriotism" and all.... Shame our new President thinks such speech should be ignored, in the spirt of unity. Dictators are born in such ways.

IMVHO, Rush is nothing but a large blowhard. And I've held that opinion for many years. Once upon a time we listened to him on a semi-regular basis; even read one of his books. Now though, I'm with the President; I'd sooner ignore him, and his bloviating.

Stopped listening to both Rush and Hannety a while back, they only fuel the fire.

Ive got home improvements to focus on anyway, the ball I fear is only the tip of the iceberg.

You quoted me but you must not have read what I wrote. Read it again, "could" and "will" are two very different things.

[sasvermont]

Whomever on Obama's staff planned what balls he attended should have been fired that night if not before.

I think there must be more important things to worry about than this. Really. I think you are making mountains out of molehills.

Im actually much more calm about this then many of those currently serving our country, then again Im not the one who has Obama as a commander.

This molehill, as you put it, could just be the foothills of much more.

Ya think? Like bringing home the troops from a stupid, needless war?

Like restoring habeus corpus?

Like working toward solving the economic crisis?

Nah...it is all about at what ball he did or did not dance....

So the troops can fight the enemy here?

Like restoring habeas corpus?

Other then John Walker Lihn, what American lost their habeus corpus rights?

Edit: I hope you werent trying to make the suspension of habeas corpus unique to the previous administration? There is previous precedent for the suspension of HC.

Like working toward solving the economic crisis?

By making it worse with a trillian dollar "stimulus" package?

Nah...it is all about at what ball he did or did not dance....

Yes, allienating those whom you command makes absolutly no difference when you spin it. Im sorry but that was a big mistake to make within 24 hours of taking office. Even Clinton was smarter then that. Bush was much smarter then that by starting the Commander in Chiefs Ball.

Lets not get into the hypocrisy of Obama using Lincoln's bible to take the Oath of Office.

And FWIW, we had to deal with 8 years of excuses for Clinton as well as the formation of MoveOn.org, that will not move on, as well as the Democraticunderground.

Then we had to deal with the above mentioned websites as well as the MSM disrespecting and attacking the POTUS for the following 8 years.

Ive had to deal with it for 16 years, so give me a break and take it.

When I heard about him not attending the ball it angered me as well. I really think he should have been there. My cousin was over seas fighting for our freedom, and my brother-in-law is being sent over seas in August....just out of training!! I have a police friend that received a Medal Of Honors, as well as a friend whom actually gave me his medal 2 yrs ago because he wanted to be rid of everything war (Operation Iraqi Freedom, Salad, Iraq; '04-'05, LFT 129, Drive The Wedge Medal), and both these wonderful men are very angry about this.

Obama not attending this very important ball (which has been around longer than he has been alive) that honors those who have put their lives on the line for our freedom and stood by him through the election is just not right. Maybe he did not make the schedule, but I am sure he looked it over. I am sure he knew about the MOH Ball. Wouldn't you think he would say "hey, I have to at least show my face here"?

I am not trying to add fuel to this fire of a thread, but this is just my opinion. Nothing more. Whether it was right or wrong, his doing or not...it is merely my opinion...so please do not judge me by it.

I have heard Obama promise a lot. This just makes me wonder how much he truly plans to deliver. Or does he feel that promises are made to be broken?
