He attended quite a few as payback for the illegal campaign contributions, but I guess he did not have time for those that gave to their country, because afterall, it is all about Obama. Salute To Heroes Inaugural Ball, began by President Eisenhower 56 years ago, has been the destination of each new POTUS, that is until The One.
Am I surprised? No, I am not. Why? Based on the fact that he halted GITMO trials until May, and closed terrorist ‘black sites’ .
President Bush had already closed the ‘Black Sights’

Obama is taking the credit.
…sorry….sights = sites *~*
Yet another failure in leadership. The list is lengthening, and he hasn’t even been in office 100 hours.
I like to say real character is revealed not by words but by actions. And as I have been saying all along, this man’s character is severely lacking.
He continues to demonstrate that.
Robert;
Failure comes from expectations. Obama has not failed in my books: I fully expected him to ignore our servicemen, pander to terrorists, kiss the ass of every special interest group that acted to get him where he is, and forget entirely about his responsibilities.
In that respect, he’s perfectly on target.
Here’s another expectation: He’ll get worse– much worse– before he finally gets out of office.

Bet Obama would love to attended a Medal of Honor ball for North Viet heroes, or Hamas heroes.
And this man intends to destroy the military even worse than BJ Billy did. In a time of war, he disrespects the heroes our soldiers look to emulate, announces an intention to cut weapons procurement, release terrorists from a secure facility, wants to institute a mandatory period of national service (IOW a draft), build a para military national defense force with military capabilities without being under the DOD, while disarming the law abiding citizens of this country. He has also stated he intends to pursue policies that will cripple the economy with staggering inflation and unemployment. What other result could there possibly be if the price of a gallon of gas tops $6, and energy prices “necessarily skyrocket” ? Raising the minimum wage to $10 as has been mentioned will force MANY businesses that hire unskilled labor to layoff their staff, close their doors, or both. Those unintended consequences will get you every time.
Can someone please tell me why this man is commander in chief? Other than the fact that some liberals in some northeastern states jumped party lines and voted for McCain in the Republican primaries? Eventually Republicans will realize that their voters have principles and just not being a registered Democrat won’t necessarily insure that they vote for you. Dems don’t have that problem. Most of their voters have no principles.
The great annoying one dont want to associate with real men of honor while he sucks up to such riff raffas BILL AYERS and JEREMIAH WRIGHT
Angry D you are exactly right. So far bo has performed as expected, no surprises for me. And the thing is, a lot of others have put bo up so high on that pedestal, that when he falls, he’s going to hit hard.
I am truly frightened! What if he DOESN’T fail?! What if those behind him help him to succeed with his policies?! For the first time ever, I feel we are truly helpless as a society!
Hey roxy,
nObama has failure written all over him…and our society is filled with people that refuse to help themselves. They expect others to take care of them!
