Mr. President, Like it or not you are the comander in chief

By
Real Estate Agent with Weichert Referral Associates

Dear Mr. Obama,

 Everyone who works for a living has aspects of their job which they find less desireable than others. Some things that are inconvienient or maybe even agaisnt your  moral belief system. If you a re a person of integrity and there is an aspect of your position with which you cannot reconcile yourself you leave. But as long as you are collecting a paycheck you owe it to your employer, yourself and mostly your God to fulfill your responsibilities to the best of your ability.

     Mr. President, You are the commader-in chief of our armed services. Memorial day is the day we honor our fallen hereoes, the men who died to make it possible for you to be be president. The men and women who write that blank check with their lives in order to ensure our right as Americans to be jerks, if that is what we choose to be.

    When you go on your apolgy tours andslap the face of proud Americans that hurst. When you bow to other leaders that brings a tear to our eyes. When you blame us for Mexico,s problems and speak to the graduating class of West Point as if they don't even matter any more it is just what we have come to expect from you.

   But this is Memeorial Day weekend Sir and our commander in chief is expexted to spend at least part of his day  showging respect for our fallen heroes. The men and women in Afghanistan and Iraq are niot getting a vacation this weekend. You would think that the small act of taking part of your day to  participate in the tradinal role of the President would be an honor to you. Laying the wreath on the tomb of the unknown soldier should be thought of as an honor not a chore

Mr. President the way I see it you have two choices, either show our brave men and women that they have your support or bring them home, but don,t just leave them their fighting what {like it or not } is your war now while you wont even show respect for their fallen comredes.

Mr. Obama, I will continue to pray for you and do my best to respect the office of president because that is what God,s word commands of me, but i can't help but feeling your actions this weekend are a disgrace and a slap in the face to our military

I don't think you quite understand the huge intracasies of what it will take to repair the mess that he has inherited.

It's like eveyone thinks there's a magic "switch" that the President is refusing to turn on.

We are the most advanced and intricate economy on the planet.

Certain decisions have to be well thought out as to the repurcussion and effects over time that those decisions will have.

When you don't plan and think through legislation, then you end up in a mess like we are in now that will probably take decades to repair.

Example:  we're all waiting for BP or ANYONE to fix the leak and repair the damage from the oil spill.  But unfortunately that unfortunate incident is probably going to have its effect on our society for at least a decade and there is no instant cure.  It was poor decision making for the off-shore drilling.

I don't understand.  What is Obama not doing that he should be doing this weekend?  What is he doing this weekend?

Jim * He is NOT going to Arlington National Cemetary to honor our fallen soldiers * he's going to a cemetary in Chicago and then back to the WH for a fete with Sir Paul....he did his beach photo op and berated a local gulf politician for NOT calling the White House directly when they could not get answers - I guess no Dem/Lib wants him for campaigning so he is taking MORE vacation.

Ralph_ Imagine if all of the great leaders our country ever had, spent their entire time in power blaming past administrations on the problems they have caused. One thing for sure; if President Lincoln had that attittude there is no way Barack Obama would be president today.

Hugh, I have given up being shocked at what lengths this administration will go to. My heart breaks everyday. As the great theologian, Jeremiah Wright said, "the roosters WILL come home to roost"...in 2010 and 2012.

May God bless the men and woman serving our country now and in the past.

Ralph - You keep on stating how huge and vast this problem Obama inherited - Ronald Reagan inherited Carter's mess - but you don't see him blaming Carter for anything -

When will you understand that quadrupling our debt - now the dems passed another $117 billion more spending - will destroy our nation.

You say people who challenge Obama just don't understand...

Perhaps you are the one who doesn't understand?

Hugh - well stated. It is a simple ceremony, something that even Clinton did every year. W did miss one year, he visited the cemetaries in Normandy instead to honor the fallen. As commander in chief, especially with two wars going on and casualties increasing in Afghanistan, he should be there to show his respect for those who have fallen in service to this country.

Some of you people need to get your facts straight.

FACTS, look it up.

W didn't go to Arlington his second year in office, 2002.

His father George H. W. NEVER WENT.

Ronald Reagan went only 4 out of 8 years.

Bill Clinton went EVERY year.

Quit bitchin' while you're enjoying a weekend with your family over a BBQ...Your blind following of the right wing nutcase radio idiots spoils your intellectual input here.

Ernie,

 As much as liberal apologists hate to admit it we are at war now. None of the soldiers in Iraq or Afghanistan had BBq,s with their family .on memorial day and neither should there commander in chief. As far as any other presidents not attending shame on them also.

Point taken but not entirely agreed with...I might be considered a liberal but I do admit we're at war...I also know we liberals didn't atart either one of them...The whole situation is just horrendous...I said before and will again...We will not WIN either one.

Hugh,

Don't you have a feeling that we have the commander-in-chief of the losing army. He still is figuring how to make it a losing army.
