Scumbaggy Conservative Bloggers Doth Protest Too Much: Accuse Obama of Memorial Day Swipe at Boosh
...When he calls for strong commitment to returning heroes...

Defensive much?

I've never thought much of Barack Obama's policies, and I'm starting not to think much of him as a human being. Today he continued his gratuitous and graceless attacks on his predecessor in the inappropriate context of Memorial Day:

Our fighting men and women - and the military families who love them - embody what is best in America. And we have a responsibility to serve all of them as well as they serve all of us.

And yet, all too often in recent years and decades, we, as a nation, have failed to live up to that responsibility. We have failed to give them the support they need or pay them the respect they deserve. That is a betrayal of the sacred trust that America has with all who wear - and all who have worn - the proud uniform of our country.

Barack Obama, the soldiers' friend! As Chris Stirewalt notes:

It gets little notice, but even to this day Bush makes calls on wounded veterans at military hospitals, corresponds with families of fallen servicemembers and gives his own money to veterans charities. In office, Bush hugely increased funding for veterans programs and worked relentlessly to improve the lot of ordinary troops.

1. I wonder what it's like to just live in a world you created in your head.
In my world, everyone has fuzzy bunnies. See how nice it can be?

3. Bush makes calls on wounded veterans and corresponds with families?
I seriously doubt that.
