Classless

President Barack Obama is headed for another vacation, returning to Chicago for Memorial Day weekend. It's his second since the Deep Horizon rig went deep. Now I think I've said it before, and I will say it again; I'm not going to begrudge the President for taking vacation. It's not your average job and I highly doubt there is such a think as a vacation that doesn't still involve significant work.

No, my problem is that our President felt it was more important to escape to Chicago rather than participate in ceremonies honoring the men and women who have sacrificied their lives in the service of our country. He is making time to help fundraise for Senator Barbara Boxer (D. Cali.), who has shown her personal lack of respect for the military. The Drudge Report is also reporting that the President will luckily make it back in time for the Paul McCartney concert. What kind of message does this send to our troops? What kind of message does this send to anyone?
