— Dave in Texas He got washed out in Chicago.
I don't blame him for pulling up there, the threat of thunderstorms and lightning isn't something to take lightly.
You know? I would have sworn I saw a Twitter post by NBC's Chuck Todd this morning, explaining to us how other Presidents have skipped Arlington on Memorial Day. Like GWB skipped out on Arlington in 2002.
To deliver a speech at Normandy, on May 27 2002.
I likely got that wrong, and I apologize to Chuck Todd for that.
According to ExJon, VP Joe did a respectable job at Arlington today.

I'm sorry, I'm a cold hearted bitch but I absolutely love the irony of him getting rained out in Chicago while it was a sunny day in DC.

I didn't let a little lightning and rain stop me when I was quietly sneaking through the jungles of Vietnam with a knife between my teeth looking for some dinks to take out.

He's mentally ill. We as a society do not care for the psychologically traumatized. He had no motive. His psychosis made him lash out. He deserves our love and support. More importantly we must learn to understand his actions.

Because that would make a pretty deadly campaign ad for this fall, or 2012:
Shot of soldiers in Afghanistan.
Voiceover: "When casualties in the Middle East took a jump . . . "
Cut to Obama on the golf course. (Sound effect: Golf swing.)
"The President went golfing."
Shot of the oil rig on fire.
"When an oil rig explosion threatened sensitive wetlands with millions of gallons of oil . . . "
Cut to Obama on the course again.
"The President worked on his golf game." (Sound effect: golf swing)
"While illegal immigration became a crisis on our border . . . " (SFX: golf swing)
"While Iran developed an atomic bomb . . . " (SFX: golf swing)
"While Korea edged toward all-out war . . . " (SFX: golf swing)
Slow-mo of Obama setting up another swing.
Voice-over: "But it could have been worse." (SFX: golf swing) "He could have been trying to do something."
"This November let's send Obama where he really wants to go: back to the golf course full-time." (SFX: swing)

He can run all he wants. When God is fully sick of his shit, moving won't prevent him from being lit up.

When I first met this kid he was kind of a semi hippie party dude . Nice kid , eager to have a good time , the kid in the neighborhood that bags your groceries on Saturday .
Service with the old guard changed him for life . He's now a serious citizen and a fine man .
God Bless the Old Guard and the heroes resting at Arlington . My father has been there with his comrades for the last fifteen yrs.
I'm glad Obama wasn't available .

That's because slow Joe is culturally an American compared to President Duffer.
Posted by: YIKES! at May 31, 2010 04:47 PM (roBAy)
No he doesn't. He has a son, Beau ( the other kid's name is worse, Hunter)who is a lawyer, and who did serve as a lawyer in Iraq. He has been home for months. During the Bush Administration, Biden threw a tantrum about Iraq, and claimed that Bush policy was going to get his son killed, Of course he gave a quiet apology after it turned out that Beau hadn't as yet gone near Iraq, and would be serving behind a desk anyway.
I'd rather a dead dog have done it before either of these idiots.

Biden is from Delaware, my home state. He loves people that agree with him and who give him money. That's it. He openly gone after people who disagreed with him, or who he decided were political opponents (Biden invented 'borking').
Posted by: Blue Hen at May 31, 2010 05:01 PM (1O93r)
Actually, Biden's son Beau Biden has been back for some time. While he served in Iraq, he is a JAG officer, so he wasn't exactly doing foot patrols in Fallujah. Note, his son suffered a stroke earlier this month. I hope (and I hope that all the morons on this site also hope) he makes a speedy & full recovery.
Now, as far as our president hangin' out in Chicago as opposed to laying a wreath at Arlington. The Tomb Of The Unknowns is not the gravesites of those three individuals, but symbolically is the resting place of all US veterans, regardless where they are buried, if their graves are even marked, if anyone remembers them, etc. The Tomb Guards are there 24/7 to show that the Army (and by extension all US military branches) will never forget them. The President is the Commander In Chief and, unless the business of the State takes him away, should at least make the trip to Arlington to pay his respects to ALL who have passed. It is a symbolic gesture; however symbols are very powerful, especially in the military.
