C'mon, this is such old crap it's funny. The whole thing is totally false, and you just posted it without even checking it out.

This has already been debunked here in another thread a few days ago.

Never mind.

tschmath Loc: Los Angeles

It's too easy to just say "never mind." I'm willing to bet that several lower-intellligence beings on this forum have already cut and pasted this in an email to their friends, who will also pass it on. Posting something like this without checking into it first is irresponsible and dangerous.

And the irony is that if President Obama attends the ceremonies later this week as planned, he will become the only President to have done so twice!

What would you do, oh one who has never made a mistake?

tschmath Loc: Los Angeles

I would have admitted that what I did was stupid and irresponsible, and that it was incumbent upon me to do some basic research before posting something like this. I wouldn't have just shrugged it off with a trite brush off as was done here.

As much as I dislike O'bummer, don't tag him with this one. American Presidents normally only appear at the numbered events like 2004, 2009, 2014 etc etc 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th.

This has been explained in earlier threads.
