And this is precisely what worries me SO MUCH about the people on ATS lately.
Is a veteran allowed to dis him 'on the backs' of his own fallen comrades?

I'm curious as to how many expressing outrage at his failure to honor the military are the same who rail against all those "lazy welfare bums" who happen also to be veterans.
In my experience the most "patriotic" people are also the first to find excuses not to serve personally, wouldn't give a vet a job on a dare, and won't fund proper healthcare for vets.
Save your phony outrage for stuff that matters.
As a vet myself, I spend Memorial Day quietly remembering my fallen comrades. The noisy non-veteran outraged types tend to spend the day partying without a single genuine thought of honoring veterans or the dead.
You want to hate and dis the man, go right ahead. But don't do it on the back of my service or my friends' deaths.
Excuse me, gotta run..the stench of hypocrisy offends me.
Go back to your barbecue.

Cant the guy get a holiday. After all he is working very hard.
America is facing possibly its worst environmental disaster in history and he just wants to clear his head and chill out a bit.
And this is another great point. He's been dealing with a LOT - I wouldn't want his job -
The White House says Obama and his family will travel to their hometown on Thursday and stay through the weekend.

Add this to the many times he has been the lone person on stage NOT saluting the flag, and I am just amazed that this is the man representing our country. How did it ever happen?
How it happened is, he accrued more electoral votes than McCain, and had more than 7 million in the popular vote vs. McCain. See, the way it works is, whoever gets the most votes, wins. Now get over it.

Of all the weekends to take a trip back home, he picks THAT weekend.

I beg your pardon. If you'll go back and study history as it was and not what you hear, you'll know that it was the Union who were traitors. The Confederacy were the honorable ones in the Civil War.
The South didn't lose, contrary to belief and we didn't get our butts kicked at Gettysburg like a bunch of Yankees would want everyone to believe.
General Lee surrendered so that no more blood would be shed from either side of the conflict. The United States emerged more powerful after the Civil War than it would've been if there hadn't been one.
The South was outnumbered at Gettysburg yet there were more deaths and casualties on the Yankee side. Hmmm. How interesting.
I have a hatred for "the perfidious, malignant and vile Yankee race" and this also applies to Obama.
Besides, I don't care how you do it up north. To me, Obama is just doing what is typical of a vile Yankee.
