Our president speaketh with a forked tongue

There he goes again.

Our Dear Leader gave a speech today at Fort Hood where he memorialized the fallen soldiers who were murdered by Nidal "Allahu Akbar!" Hasan.

During part of his speech, Obama said a few words about each of the dead soldiers, and his description of one perked up my ears:
Private Francheska Velez, daughter of a father from Colombia and a Puerto Rican mother, had recently served in Korea and in Iraq, and was pursuing a career in the Army. When she was killed she was pregnant with her first child, and was excited about becoming a mother....
First of all, my sincerest condolences to Pvt. Velez and her unborn child.

But how disingenuous of our rabidly pro-abortion President to even bring up the tragedy of Pvt. Velez's baby dying with her. This concern of Obama for the murder of an unborn baby rings pretty hollow when, as an Illinois state senator, he couldn't even bring himself to vote in favor of a state law that would have banned abortion doctors from letting babies die after surviving a botched abortion. This concern of Obama for the murder of an unborn baby rings pretty hollow when you read his infamous remarks about how he wouldn't want his daughters "punished" with a baby.

Once again, it's a matter of our Dear Leader saying whatever it takes to woo the audience to which he is speaking. Yes, yes, I know: isn't that what all politicians do? With that truth in mind, you must remind yourself: Is that the hope and change you were looking for in Obama?

Good Day to You, Sir

Why did the President celebrate Veteran's Day at Arlington? Is memorializing the deceased the way to thank those who have served or is it a political statement?

Huh?

Isn't Veterans Day the day to celebrate those who have served our country, whereas Memorial Day is the day to remember those soldiers who have died serving our country?

Political Statement: Showing images of death (show the caskets, lay the wreaths, show the injured, show death tolls on news broadcasts)arouses an anti-war sentiment in the people.

Showing the President with vets arouses heroism and pride in the people.

Ah, I see your point. It's actually a good one, as I have had to explain the difference between Veterans Day and Memorial Day to my students quite a few times.

I think a VFW hall or something along those lines would have been more appropriate than Arlington. Save Arlington for the last weekend in May.
