With his feeble flame of "hope" thoroughly doused here in the United States by last week's elections, President Obama has set out around the globe in search of throngs still enthralled by his flowery rhetoric.
He found them, of course, in Indonesia this week by telling them about how Americans must stop mistrusting Islam.
So that is why your president is halfway around the world instead of being here in the United States to celebrate the sacrifices American soldiers, sailors and airmen have made around the world to keep the real, still-burning flame of freedom alive . . . READ MORE >>>>>
Editor's notes: the article goes on to mention that Obama layed a wreath at a military base in South Korea, last night (our time). Look, no one dislikes this president more than this editor, but, our criticisms need to be a) real and, b) significant. Yes, he was out of the country on Veterans Day. But he did commemorate the Day and, last year, laid the wreath at Arlington. We all know that Obama is not pro-military. However, he is not a pacifist as was Jimmy Carter.
At any rate, the real story is this: Obama commemorates Veterans Days with the troops he commands in South Korea. There is much we despise about Obama's policies and the fact that he is hardly the hope so many thought he would be. But, he has not presented himself as an enemy in total of the Veteran population.
Obama may be the most unpopular Command in Chief in modern times, his Afghan rules of engagement being one of the primary issues, but he does the right thing on Veteran's Day. . . . . . the phrase "symbol over substance" comes to mind.
