Obama Skips The Medal of Honor Inaugural Ball
I’m a Patriot Guard Rider. If you don’t know who we are , GOOGLE it & you will see who we are.
One of my fellow members sent this to me & I was so shocked that I just had to share it here on my blog.
Obama stumbled over his words during his inauguration, but he made an even greater blunder later That evening. The newly sworn President decided not to attend at what should have been the most important Balls on his agenda that evening . The Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball.
The Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball was started in 1953 for President Eisenhower’s inauguration. The event recognized the Medal of Honor winners, the nation’s highest military award. There were 48 Medal of Honor winner in attendance, who were disappointed by the Commander-in-Chief’s failure to show up. Over the past 14 inaugurations, no other President has missed this event - until Barack Obama decided to snub the Metal of Honor Ball
The Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball is put on by the American Legion, and co-sponsored by many other veteran’s organizations,
Instead of attending this ball honoring our nation’s heroes, Obama was to 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. Obama finished off the
night with brief appearances at the Mid-Atlantic, Western, Midwest, Eastern, and Southern 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 Barack Obama skipped. The people who he sought to have support him during his campaign, who have fought to protect our country, were snubbed in favor of publicity and the opportunity to rub shoulders with the Hollywood elite.
SHAME ON YOU OBAMA , SHAME ON YOU
Christ Almighty! That’s just what I’d expect from that dirtbag. He’s aiming to do from within what no armed enemy of the United States has EVER been able to do.
Yep our Kenyan/Malaysian/Manchurian candidate was either afraid or ashamed of mixing with those heroes.
