According to TSO who was at the “Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ballâ€, this newly sworn-in President for the first time in 56 years blew off the ball (that’s 14 Inaugurations).
And I have no doubt our current enlistees and those commissioned will get the same warm treatment.
According to Blackfive @ http://www.blackfive.net/main/2009/01/they-will–neve.html The Annointed One did attend the Commander in Chief’s Ball.
George Lopez was the EmCee, and made bad jokes re: Repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. (I assume neither Lopez nor Obamacles are aware that that is Federal law, passed by Congress and ratified by Clinton, and The Obamessiah can’t make it go away all by his lonesome.)
The obvious conclusion, of course, is that obama blew off the event to honor heroes, and attended the event to honor him…
And according to a poll taken before THE ONE assended to the White House, 10% of the military plans to NOT re-enlist if don’t ask – don’t tell is repealed. Hey in one master stroke he gets to ram the gay agenda down military throats (or what ever) and cuts costs by down sizing the military in move. Masterful
To give the devil his due, the VP did attend the ball and was “warmly received” by the VFW officers….
