I am glad he isn't, as he would only disgrace them all.

President Barack Obama has declined to attend a dedication ceremony in October for a new memorial honoring American veterans who have been disabled fighting for their country in wars, according to sources close to the event.

The American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial (AVDLM), the first such memorial of its kind, is set to be dedicated during a ceremony on Oct. 5 near the National Mall in downtown Washington, D.C.

However, Obama, who was first invited to attend the event in January, will not be among those in attendance, according to a source who is familiar with the situation.

This would be among the first national memorials in recent history not to be formally accepted in person by a sitting U.S. president.

  1. I think at this point he knows how popular he is with veterans, and he isn't running for re-election, so...off to the golf links.

  2. Obama may be the only non-hypocrite Leftie in Washington politics when it comes to such matters. I agree - Stay AWAY, You Traitor!

  3. If I was there, I wouldn't want Obama to show up. I wouldn't show if he did.

  5. I was kind of taken aback with the hoo-rah the big Zero got speaking at the Air Force base - they were probably under orders to do that or they were thinking of someone else when they complied.

      I know the first time he came to Camp Lejeune it was like dead silence. After that they put people in the front to start the applause. Same at the veteran's meeting here recently.
