Classier to do this today rather than tomorrow

So President Obama is not going to be at Arlington on Memorial Day, instead he will be visiting another veteran's cemetery in Illinois. He is going to be in Illinois because he and his family are going back to Chicago for the first time since February 2009. Vice President Biden will be handling ceremonies at Arlington in his stead

I read about this a few days ago and was angry at how 'these' people forget where their guy went on Memorial Day. It's okay for 'their' guy to go elsewhere to honor our brave, but not Obama.

I would think that places like France and Italy, were our soldiers actually fought, died, and are buried would be just as hallowed and sacred as Arlington if not more.

There's a local cemetery that has a special section reserved for Veterans and when I've visited for Memorial Day observances, it's just as 'hallowed' and 'sacred'.

I can't even DEAL with how much this whole thing is bullshit, Jesus H Christ. Obama buys a goddamn sandwich and the right wing media machine tries to spin it into how his choice in lunch meat means he's secretly plotting to hand America over the the ~Muslim threat~. (And/or those sneaky, evil Communists they just know are hiding around every corner.)

Jackasses.

Okay, I think I do have something. Can we send all these bastards with absolutely NOTHING better to do than think up non-issues like this to the Louisiana marshes to clean up the oil spill with their TONGUES?

Lord and Lady, at least the red-neck idiots around here are pissed because we're losing their livelihoods and not enough is happening.
