[StBernard] Obama skips ball and snubs Nation's Medal of Honor Heroes

[Westley Annis]

When I mentioned OB symbolizes the Anti-Christ, I not only refer to him in
the sense of biblical perspective, but to his aberrations of the Lord's
will. Right out of the gate and before the world:

*He authorizes & accepts government spending toward abortions (and I suppose
vasectomies?).

*He authorizes & accepts government motion to vacate our terrorist
detainment (I suppose all of the terrorists will be able to pick up where
each of our nation's enemies left off: rejoin al Qaida and futuristic
terrorism vs. America and our allies.

*Place $1.2 - 2 more trillion of our tax-paying dollars to funnel into
corporate entities unchecked with no guarantee a return of our money.

*Establish multi-millions for expensive inaugurations during a most horrific
economic turn in our lifetime. (We can compare it to Nero playing fiddle
while Rome burns. 

*Accept the name God as his moniker without disowning or disavowing such a
term applied to him to the citizens.

*After bomb-basting Palin on her clothing line, the goose-gander adage
applies. Outfits for his "tee-pee built woman, Michelle received quite an
amicable acceptance by liberals and liberal media (what hypocrisy!).

*Naming all of his rivals (losers to him regarding the Democratic nomination
for president: Hillary, Biden, Richardson, etc. 

*Bringing in "Chicago thugs" as part of his administration and support team.

* And that's not all we can recall in but a few days passed. Imagine 4 more
of the same, as you mentioned, John, disgraceful approaches to what
Americans with consciences are not and an antithesis to what it can truly
become.

--quite embarrassing, shameful. Enough to make all conservatives bolemic
through purging.

	Obama Snubs Nation's Heroes, Becomes the First President to Skip
Ball Honoring Medal of Honor Recipients in Over 50 Years

	http://www.clevelandleader.com/node/8627 
	
	Barack Obama may have stumbled over his words briefly during his
inauguration, but he made an even bigger blunder later Tuesday evening. The
newly sworn-in President opted not to appear at what should have been one of
the most important Balls on his agenda that evening - The Salute to Heroes
Inaugural Ball.
	
	The Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball was begun in 1953 for President
Dwight Eisenhower's inauguration. The event recognized recipients of the
Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military award. There were 48 Medal of
Honor recipients in attendance, who were undoubtedly disappointed by the
Commander-in-Chief's failure to show. Over the past 56 years and 14
inaugurations, no President has skipped this event - until now.
	
	The Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball is sponsored by the American
Legion, and co-sponsored by 13 other veteran's service organizations,
including those such as the Paralyzed Veterans of America and the Military
Order of the Purple Heart.
	
	Instead of attending this ball honoring our nation's heroes, Obama
was busy making stops at 10 other official balls. Obama and his wife's first
stop was at the Neighborhood Ball. From there they went to the Home State
Ball for Illinois and Hawaii, the Commander-in-Chief Ball, the Youth
Inaugural Ball, and the Home State Ball for Delaware and Pennsylvania. They
finished off the night with brief appearances at the Mid-Atlantic, Western,
Midwest, Eastern, and Southern regional Balls.
	
	Celebrities were a plenty at the balls, with Stevie Wonder, Shakira,
Mary. J. Blige, Faith Hill, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Adam Levine, will.i.am,
Sting, Mariah Carey, and Leonardo DiCaprio in attendance at the Neighborhood
Ball. In addition, the other nine balls also featured a star-studded lineup
including Kanye West and Kid Rock at the Youth Ball, Marc Anthony at the
Western Ball, and Cheryl Crow at the Western Ball.
	
	It was the party without all of the celebrities that Obama skipped.
The very people who he sought to have support him during his candidacy and
campaign, who have fought to protect this country, were snubbed in favor of
publicity and the opportunity to rub shoulders - yet again - with the
out-of-touch Hollywood elite.
