Hope 'n' Change: Memorial Day With Obama


Lest readers think that Barack Obama doesn't "support our troops," the commander in chief took part in Memorial Day ceremonies at Arlington National Ceremony, where he laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and met with several families of fallen soldiers.

After that, he shed his suit and hit the golf course -- for the ninth weekend in a row, the 12th time this year and the 70th tee time of his presidency. Nice gig, that commander in chief thing.

As readers may recall, Obama's predecessor, George W. Bush, gave up golf soon after taking office, saying it was out of respect for military families who had lost loved ones fighting for our nation overseas. Not Obama. He was so determined to play, in fact, that he shot 18 holes in 95-degree heat at Fort Belvoir golf course. We're sure he had a yellow ribbon on the back of his golf cart, though.



I received this in an email today.  Wish I knew who to attribute it to.  Whomever created this, thanks.

Stay safe.
