| Obama to skip laying wreath at Arlington Memorial day... Biden instead... |
| 2010-05-25 |
| This is enough to piss you off..... WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama plans to spend a long holiday weekend in Chicago. The White House says Obama and his family will travel to their hometown on Thursday and stay through the weekend. It will be their first trip back home since a visit for Valentine's Day weekend in February 2009. On Monday, Obama is scheduled to participate in a Memorial Day ceremony at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood, Ill. In Obama's absence, Vice President Joe Biden will participate in the customary wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery outside Washington. More details about Obama's trip will be released soon. I think the resting place of honorable men and women are to Obama like Garlic to a Vampire... (apologies to any vampires out there) |

| #5 ...Bush I. Far more appropriate as the only living President to have been in the line of fire on a war front. That's enough cover for everyone. |

| #4 All-in-all, I think I prefer Biden to do the honors. Or better still - delegate it to Bush. |
