Wacka Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 The Messiah found time to attend balls with pinheads like Kid Rock, Faith Hill, etc, but he skipped a much more important ball. President Eisenhower started the Medal of Honor Ball in 1953. All Congressional Medal of Honor (the nation's highest award) winners are invited to it. EVERY President has attended it since (14 inaugurations), until this year. This year 48 Medal Winners attended. Guess who didn't?

I heard he was trapped in traffic leaving the Illuminati Ball hosted by Jay Rockefeller.
Chump Change Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I hadn't heard this, but if true, what a shame. I don't want to draw conclusions, but why not show up to honor (and be honored by) some of our nations bravest?

Boomer860 Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Maybe he had other stuff to do. When you are Commander in Cheif you go to this function for the bravest you command . Something you would not understand. I have said it before and now it is becoming evident he is a lying fraud.
Chump Change Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Maybe he had other stuff to do. Deep thought. Awesome! Maybe Jay Z and Lil' Wayne, two of our nations greatest heros, were hosting a "My President is Black Mutha!@#$er!" Ball for him.
kegtapr Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he may not have known about it. This would be on his staff as they plan everything. An apology is needed if this is the case though.

VABills Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Yeah what the hell have these guys done for their country lately. Heck all these guys that have the MOH are from Vietnam, Korea and maybe a couple from WWII. We all know that the Messiah was against every war, so why should he go honor these guys who only kept alive war criminals who were wrongly fighting. Good for the Messiah to not pay honor to probably the biggest bunch of war criminals ever. </sarcasm>
Chump Change Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I was joking, you dolt. I guess dry sarcasm is lost on you. Having read some of your past posts regarding your disdain for the military, I did not feel it was a stretch to take you literally.
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Having read some of your past posts regarding your disdain for the military, I did not feel it was a stretch to take you literally. My disdain for the military? I don't ever remember posting anything like that. My grandfather served in the navy in WWII, and I intend to enlist after I graduate. Maybe I made some other sarcastic comments (or just saying things to get peoples' goat), but disdain for the military doesn't describe me at all.
Max Fischer Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Please post a credible article: - that says every president since 1956 has attended this ball. - that quotes an organizer or participant who expected Obama there and was upset. - that this has any thruth from a credible source (I'll take Fox News and the Washington Times if that helps) In case you missed it, Obama attended the Red, White and Blue Ball for military personnel. It was a big hit. Rev up that blogosphere, "Damn the truth, full speed ahead!" I guess this is what we should expect for the next four years. Well, at least you and the nutjobs will have something to do.
blzrul Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 You people are idiots. The Inauguration Committee planned the days' events and there were 10 OFFICIAL events. Those were events that the President attended. One of them was in honor of the military: Commander-in-Chief's Inaugural Ball - National Building Museum, 401 F St. NW. The ball is in honor of the country's active duty and reserve military. Invited guests included wounded warriors (Purple Heart recipients), families of fallen heroes, and spouses of deployed military. Tickets were provided free of charge to all invited guests. This event was not open to the general public. It was broadcast to American troops around the world on the Pentagon Channel, which is available via cable on 368 military bases and on commercial cable and satellite services throughout the United States. I myself witnessed the President and First Lady each dance with a member of the military, and I thoroughly enjoyed the interview with each of them after the dance was over. I can see why their officers chose them.

Join the ROTC it will pay for your school and when you graduate you will be commissioned as an officer in the Army or other branch NROTC Navy etc, . You wil be serving your country and no college lonas for years. You might even like .They have a program that gives you a year to try it with no obligation.

Wacka Posted January 23, 2009 Author Posted January 23, 2009 What I wanted to call them probably would have gotten be banned for a while.

The military is just butt kissin right\t now but they dont favor Obama but will wait and see.
