Obama will use Memorial weekend for a trip home to Chicago
By Anne E. Kornblut
With the long Memorial Day weekend on the horizon, President Obama is finally addressing one of the great broken promises of his administration: his early pledge to return home to Chicago every six weeks or so.
In 16 months at the White House, the Obamas have been back home just once - in February of 2009. But they plan to make the trip over Memorial Day weekend, an official said. After arriving on Thursday night, they will visit with friends and participate in private events.
On Monday, Obama will make remarks at the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery, south of Chicago - missing the usual tradition of presidents speaking at Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day.
Vice President Biden and his wife will appear in Obama's place, laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, as well as holding a breakfast for Gold Star families -- families whose loved ones died in military service -- at the White House earlier that day.

You idiots. This is a perfect example of pure hate for the person Obama. It has nothing to do with policy as Reagan and Bush did the same thing.
Where do you people come up with these stupid excuses to hate our President. Can't you stick to debating actual policy? Geez!

So, I'm wondering if there will be any kind of retraction by those who blindly follow incorrect information and post it here in the usual OMG!!!! fashion. I won't hold my breath.
Why should or why does the left look back on what the past presidents have done when they want to distance themselves from those assholes?
Live in the here and now, not what Gee Wiz or Poppy did.

GW NEVER missed Arlinton that I am aware of--and I could give Snapperhead (Gumby) a pass if was important reason to miss-
bottom line it vets on memorial day--or rock concert--we all have our priorities.

you're on a roll, wayne :142smilie
I love how you guys on the right are always pronouncing THE END for Obama, as if it's up to you. :142smilie
You righties didn't elect him to begin with so what the hell makes you think he needs your support now OR in the future?

............................................................
they are pretty much ate up with the hate
lies and deceit are par for the course.
Go look it up before you constantly lap up the dribble from Faux.
Bush went to see Daddy in Kennebunkport one year, never even went to a cemetary. DTB, it's no way to go through life, believing Faux noise and being stupid.
It shows your hate for the man when there are so many other examples you charge to the forum with, hard on and all, only to get squashed. I guess hiding behind a computer allows you to be so idiotic?

He is DTBlackgumby and proud of it.
Spreading hate???? We Are in middle of two fucking wars and he is NOT going to attend? This is disrespect to our fallen soldiers and their families. I dont give a damn if Bush started them, it's time for Obama to stand up as our president and be a patriot. Obamas numbers are dropping and many of the military who voted for him will NEVER vote for him again. AND....NO PEOPLE...NO president has ever missed attending the Arlington National Cemetary on Memorial Day....Know UR History.....Stop thinking for once about who's on first and start thinking who's dropping the ball.
Actually I wont defend Obama on this one Skeeter because I think he should be on the Gulf Coast holding BP's feet to the fire rather than spending the weekend in Chicago. If you want to criticize Obama for something, criticize him for conducting business as usual while the largest man-made environmental disaster in history is unfolding in the Gulf. The problem with you righties is you don't know how to pick your battles. You guys have no credibility because you're always crying wolf.
