Obama Ignores the Military

From one of my favorite sites, Ace of Spades HQ, President Obama gave an indication of his love for the military, or lack of, on inauguration day. It is surely a hectic schedule and typically the first hubby and wife make quick appearances at the many Balls in different venues, usually staying only ten minutes. One of great significance is the Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball. It is co-sponsored by the American Legion. In addition, 13 other veterans groups are also involved including the Military Order of the Purple Heart and the Paralyzed Veterans of American. Special guests at the dance are Medal of Honor winners, the highest military award given.
Mainstream media reporters and newscasters have yet bothered to ask the question: "Mr. President, you are the first President since 1953 to ignore these men. Can you tell us why?"
