Los-Angeles-Shooter Loc: Los Angeles

When two-star Major General Harold Greene, the highest-ranking officer killed in combat since Vietnam, was laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery on Thursday, neither the President nor the Vice President were present.
The nominal Commander-in-Chief Barack Obama was playing a round at the Vineyard Golf Club with Valerie Jarrett’s cousin, Cyrus Walker, the World Bank president and former President of Dartmouth College Jim Kim, and former lobbyist and ambassador Ron Kirk.
The clownish Joe Biden was in the middle of the third day of a week long vacation in the Hamptons, which followed a week in Wyoming, which was preceded by a week at Rehoboth Beach in Delaware.
While America has lost a two-star General who has served in a war the president has waged questionably, the Commander-in-Chief could not show the common decency to honor him with his presence.
Instead, President Obama showed it was more important to play yet another round with well-connected elites, as the nation grieves and families suffer. The disconnect could not be more profound.

Just another day in the life of this lame excuse for a President

True words. Whatever else Obama is, he is the most racist, and the most racially divisive President in history.

I would consider that respectful if I were the Generals widow! In other words, I wouldn't want the son of a bitch in the same state as me

AGREE! If he would have attended, it would only be for another photo op, which he really doesn't like.

What a ridiculous post, in fact, all posting above me on this page are. Why should Obama attend ANY military funeral? Don't you think he knows he's disrespected by the likes of anyone on this page, excepting myself? You pretend to be "patriots" of this country yet can still love this country less than your intense hate for the president. Cut the shoddy pretense, nobody's buying it, everyone sees it for the racist crap that it is. And what do you guys offer for the next election? A black man with two black parents who you can say is better. Not because you agree with any of his stands but because he's ALL black. You guys have a lot to learn that has so far escaped you. Sad.

what are you talking about???? all I said was as his boss he should have attended the funeral services out of respect to him and his family....I don't believe I mentioned anything about race, or elections....man, you should get a life.....I feel kinda sorry for you....

dljen Loc: Central PA

I don't have to get a life, I have a perfectly good one and I'm not a clown who feels she has to wear a stupid rubber nose unlike you. I'm talking about the constant slamming of this president. I just love the way you guys constantly go back to saying it's not racism. Right, old white men can't see this president succeed at anything, people like yourself are part of the problem. He's shown no respect and had he have gone to the funeral, you'd have shown distain for that too. I'm glad Biden didn't go either, I'm sure the "patriot" didn't care. Neither of them are running for office anymore, why should they try to please you and your ilk. Grow up!

hopthecop Loc: salisbury md

it was a plastic nose, and I still don't remember saying any of the other things.....you probably should seek some kinda mental help if my statement sent you off on a rant like this....I am an old white man....gee I'm sorry if I offended you by being white....can't do anything about that....sorry.....and I really don't feel like growing up....especially if it turns me into something like you and your mindset....I really do feel sorry for you....I don't know anything about you personally, but you sound like a bitter old woman....

Everyone will show respect for the President when he does something to earn that respect.

dljen Loc: Central PA

No, none of you guys who've made up your minds ever will. Yet you show all kinds of respect for an administration that included unindicted war criminals. Obama is a man of peace, he didn't start wars but you Monday morning quarterbacks all know better, huh. Yeah, thought so.
