Note the halo?
A former fetus, the “wordsmith from nantucket” was born in Phoenix, Arizona in 1968. Adopted at birth, wordsmith grew up a military brat. He achieved his B.A. in English from the University of California, Los Angeles (graduating in the top 97% of his class), where he also competed rings for the UCLA mens gymnastics team. The events of 9/11 woke him from his political slumber and malaise. Currently a personal trainer and gymnastics coach.
The wordsmith has never been to Nantucket.
At http://www.thoughtsfromaconservativemom.com, she reports how The Wall was shut down for over seven hours on Memorial Day, denying veterans, and their families, to pay respect to their fallen comrades. The reason for the shutdown? Obama’s 15 minute appearance and photo op. Of course, Obama doesn’t understand the concept of mourning and paying respect to those who came home in body bags, especially not in an election year where he is trying to pull the wool over the eyes of our military, and veterans, in his attempt to convince them that he gives a tinker’s damn about them, which he doesn’t.
This might take you directly to the report:

Dan Riehl also reported on this travesty.
Next January, the bamster’s halo will be his breath in cold, cold, Chicago.
It may be late but thought I’d post this anyway. There are a lot of us that still honor our vets even if the current “CIC” doesn’t.

Maybe it will take some of the sting out of that disgusting photo.
As far as exercising poor judgment and bad taste in choosing the WH Memorial Day photo of the day goes, unless the president personally chose this from a baseball card list of choice photos, the blame belongs to whatever sycophant(s) in charge of the WH website actually made the bold selection.
@Wordsmith:
Do you REALLY think that narcissistic sonofabitch didn’t pick this himself?
Matter of fact, this is my take on it……..

What I see in that pic is a Pompous Ass…
God Bless Our Veterans and their Families…
This person who sits in the White House is the most un-American person to be placed in that position. He will be the death of America as we know it, if re-elected. I have been taugh to never hate a human. I hope with all the hope in my soul that he is defeated this November.
May God Bless America and may Obama be unemployed this coming January.
What a piece of dog shit!
