The
Major General is the highest-ranking officer killed in combat since Vietnam.
Neither the President nor the Vice President were present.
The
nominal Commander-in-Chief Barack Obama was playing a
round at
the Vineyard Golf Club with Valerie Jarrett’s cousin, Cyrus Walker, the World
Bank president, former President of Dartmouth College Jim Kim, and former
lobbyist and ambassador Ron Kirk.
Joe
Biden was in the middle of the third
day of a
week long vacation in the Hamptons, which followed a week in Wyoming, which was
preceded by a week at Rehoboth Beach in Delaware.
While
America has lost a two-star General who has served in a war the president has
waged with one of his patented withdrawal deadlines, the Commander-in-Chief
could not show the common decency to honor him with his
presence.
This
job is above Obama's head, he needs to resign so he can play more golf. Matter
of fact his entire cabinet needs to resign as all of them are worthless
...
Obama
sent THREE 'representatives' to the funeral of the teen who was shot and killed
in Ferguson, MO. Really??? Why in the hell didn't he send a 'representative' to
comfort and console the parents of James Foley who was beheaded by the butchers
of the ISIS??
The
disconnect could not be more profound. And the racism from this president is
loud and clear!
