Stressed Out or Tone Deaf? Obama Chicago Vacation Raises Eyebrows

Obama heads off to vacation in Chicago
Presidents are never really off the clock, even when they go on vacation. But President Obama’s decision to skip the traditional Memorial Day ceremony in Arlington while on his second vacation since the BP oil spill began has some wondering what the schedule says about his priorities.
On "vacation," Obama still holds staff meetings, occasionally attends local events and often gets his "relaxation" time swallowed up by pressing national and international business — his vacation to Hawaii in December coincided with the attempted Christmas Day airline bombing. The retreat this weekend is marked by a side-trip to Louisiana to inspect the damages from the oil spill.
But some conservatives, still smarting over the criticism George W. Bush fielded for his frequent trips to Crawford, Texas, say Obama’s trip to Chicago over Memorial Day weekend is conspicuously poor in its timing.
Obama, who was headed to Chicago Thursday night, will not be at Arlington National Cemetery for the Memorial Day ceremony — which he attended last year. Instead, the president plans to be at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood, Ill., while Vice President Biden takes his place in Arlington for the wreath-laying at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Well if it was a muslim ceremony he would be there in a flash with his basketball. But he would NEVER 'bow' to American veterans or troops. Too bad the brave men died for 'jerks' like him. And if he's in Chicage, he's up to no good. Probably lining up some more lies about Sestak. I wouldn't be afraid to bet that Sestek is getting some wild threats from Chicago to shut his mouth. Then again, maybe Cass Sunstein will make hay over this by getting Sestek not elected and thus would let the one they wanted in by default.
If someone doesn't get rid of and impeach this bunch soon there won't be any America left
It is clear this guy is no leader and deserves to be removed from office while we still have a country.
I normally do not get involved in matters like this because I normally do not know the "whole" story. But after seeing several posts on Facebook about a "Shame" on the president pass around. I've noticed a Snopes alert. Here is the link to the snope: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/memorialday….
Now, if one compares with other presidents the one we have currently doesn't look so bad to skip out. BUT, I still have issues with a person that has tried to cover up EVERYTHING that has happened so far and putting blame on everyone else but himself.
He must think we are as stupid as most democrats, he is the scariest person I have ever known, and needs to get thrown out of office
This thing that is in the white house is so unamerican anticrist muslim and this shit with Sestak they had 3 mo. to come up with this bull shit lie.This thing needs to be but out of office but he would go around congress and the American people to get out of it and to shut us up and dilute our rigths. You can count on that.
Obama represents those who have been waiting in the wings for this take over.
My God this man has no respect for our Military or the Country. I hope for those who voted for the change are happy !
I pray to OUR GOD, for a solution to this mess. Tom.
THE PRESIDENT IS NOT AN AMERICAN IN HIS HEART NOR IN HIS ACTIONS. HE DOES NOT SPEAK TRUTH. HE IS NOT TRUSTWORTHY. HE IS A DANGEROUS MAN WITH DANGEROUS CONNECTIONS. DONNA
As a retired Soldier that is recalled to active duty, I see the great things our your military members do on a daily basis. May God bless these young men and women along with their families as they do true service for our country. We have all lost friends and fellow Soldiers in this war.
Lets send this black man Home…….Kenya, here he comes !!!!
Obama is a disgrace. He is not an American, nor is he interested in becoming one. He spends his time figuring out ways to weaken our Country in order to turn us into a 3rd world country. He has no common sense, no business sense, no human sense. I wish it were 2012 right now, so we could get him out of office, He is a fraud and usurper of the worst kind. I am just as angry with the idiots who elected him. Don't you jerks care about your Country?! He even said we lived in the greatest Country, and he was going to change that! For God's sake people…GET A CLUE!!
I am glad he will not be there! It would be a slap in the face to all the honored Americans in Arlington. They gave their very lives so that sick-minded, inhumane, beastly, anti-American dictators like Obama would not be able to get into power. His very existence in the White House, he and his friends who are founders of Marxist societies, active communists, etc. is a horrible, dishonoring filth that would make it seem that these soldiers shed their blood for nothing.
Better he is not there! Althoubh Biden is not much better.
