Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste….
….unless you need a vacation. At least, according to the administration. The Prez is spending Memorial Day weekend in Chicago:
The news that President Barack Obama and his family will return to Chicago for the Memorial Day weekend has triggered a guessing game.Where will they dine? What will they do for fun? With the Sox on the road and the Blackhawks skating into the Stanley Cup finals, might the first family ditch its predictable pastimes — basketball, golf and tennis — and go to the United Center for hockey?
Yes, you read that right: he is skipping Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day. It’s rather odd how the media is silent on the fact that this is his second vacation in as many months, and by “odd” I mean “expected.” Personally, I’m glad he won’t be sullying the memory of those interred at Arlington with his presence (and I want him to attend the Blackhawks game. I want to see those motherpussbuckets crash and burn, but I digress). But as CiC, it is his job to be there. As a way of placating those who know what Memorial Day stands for, he will be participating at a ceremony at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery, south of Chicago, leaving VP Biden to do the honors at Arlington.
It must be extremely exhausting watching the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, bashing Arizona, redistributing income, watching the Dow take a dive, and trying to appease every tinpot ruler in the world. So many crises to choose from, and so little time….

Yeah, I don’t actually know what’s worse, the wannabe messiah insulting our Armed Forces by skipping Memorial Day at Arlington Cemetery, or the two-bit asshole insulting our Armed Forces by showing up at Arlington on Memorial Day.
Maybe we could get it written into the Constitution, that when the president insults the people of the United States, be they military or civilian, then the people have a right to line up in front of the asshat and each take a turn smacking the fucker right in the nose.
I wish I had the time and taxpayer money to go on so many vacations. Fuckin’ douche.
CF…I’m down for a fish slap – Monty Python style.
Or perhaps a leg of ham to see how offended he might be that I chose pig over fish.
Grackle,
A Monty Python style fish-slap ain’t a bad idea.
How about having Obama, Pelosi, and Reed, as well as the officers of CAIR, stand out in a field and let them try to dodge as we catapult pigs in their general direction?
I have kin in Arlington. I would prefer that Mister Obama come no where near them. They deserve better. By the grace of God they will get it in 2012.
Welcome, Spad13. Agreed
“So many crises to choose from, and so little time….”
Urm, don’t you mean, “So many crises to exacerbate or create, and so little time… “?
I stand corrected, David
