might be so , but , the president of the united states doesn't need to be calling attention to him to bring more attention on rush

as for the 'snubbing' by obama....

the way it's been put by both obama and biden is that they are a team. i can see why going to the medal of honor ball would appeal more to biden; perhaps he requested it be one of his stops for the evening?
now, i know those who have a bias will automatically put a negative spin on things, but perhaps it wasn't intended as a snub. of course, i generally try to give people benefit of the doubt, and at times i am wrong-i don't make the same mistake twice. but maybe some who are seeing this in a negative light need to take a second look.

just curious, you have a son in the military. ask him who he'd rather have seen in person. the commander-in-cheif who ORDERS them to battle or the second stringer.

i'll ask him in march, he's out at sea right now and unreachable. but i think he'd be more concerned about where obama would send him, rather than where obama would show up.


btw, seems the dems have always been accused of being less than affectionate towards our military-this won't necessarily endear obama to his armed services. but i think it may have been a miscalculation, not just an outright attempt on his part to slight anyone. i can see where going to that ball would appeal to biden, rather than obama.
