Obama bucks tradition, skips funeral highest-ranking officer killed in combat since Vietnam.

It's interesting that you feel the need to speak for all Americans. I'm pretty sure you actually don't. Anyway...

I'd be willing to bet he speaks for a lot more of us than you do. Since you seem to hold the US and all of its aggressive, inhumane, barbaric constituents in complete disdain, why do you even bother engaging in discourse with them, and judging them on a regular basis?

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Do you honestly believe any of that? Presidents get elected for all kinds of reasons. People go into politics for all kinds of reasons.

I'd say wanting to serve oneself usually comes before serving the country. Yet you all want to pretend that all the past Presidents are massively different than the current one.

I just said there are more important things to be angry about. And for that I have received a slew of personal attacks.

Take yourself out of the conversation and reread the thread. Perhaps you will see who is being unreasonable?

See what I mean? Ridiculous.

Just as you and ExPat are but one voice on each side of an issue, and each is entitled to his opinion on the obvious lack of respect (has NOTHING to do with religion), MANY Americans will come down on the side of ExPat, trust me. Will it matter? No, nothing will be changed. Obama showed his lack of respect for this country back in the beginning when he refused to put his hand over his heart for our flag, and I doubt he will change anytime soon.

Not everyone thinks it's excusable to ignore the funeral of one of your trusted right-hand men...

I can say this about the issue on both sides. I have had an inside peek at the inner workings of a very large statewide political campaign. Gov and Lt. Gov. Politics is the business of shallow, self serving, narsastic people, usally not nearly as smart as the general population. They are very good at acting and appealing to the masses. If you get to know most on a personal level, they are shallow self absorbed amoral creatures, who will say anything for a sound bite.

So... You agree with what I said then.

Yes Obama is more interested in serving himself than his country. I agree 100%

I agree too. The whole thing about people being outraged because he wasn't at the funeral is meaningless.

[Jacque67 7,328]

Hilarious thread. Keep it up boys!

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

I agree too. The whole thing about people being outraged because he wasn't at the funeral is meaningless.

So you are saying, we should not expect better, because we should recognize he is slime ball.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

If you like. I was just saying that there are better things to be angry about.

Apparently that makes some people angry. Perhaps anger management classes are needed.

He should have attended the funeral. It was the right thing to do.

What's most amusing is the mix of your narcissism and watching you repeatedly press your elevator buttons and getting frustrated because it doesn't move. You might try resetting your input panel and pressing again.

It would be narcissism if I spent the whole time talking about myself. I didn't.

I made a single point, which you objected to and proceeded to initiate a stream of personal attacks.

Perhaps narcissism is your problem?
