Executive Branch VFW Accuses White House Of Snubbing Annual Convention

The Veterans of Foreign Wars convention this week will not feature a top-tier official from the Obama administration, a breach in tradition that the group's commander described as an "insult of the highest magnitude."


However, an administration official claimed Monday that the White House made "every effort" to provide a speaker for the event, offering up a range of top officials.

"In all instances, the VFW declined those offers," the official said.

Sure, obama offered several speakers....1) Mohammed El-karisih 2) Mohammed Kalid Ishtar 3) Mohammed el-Suliman &4) a 400 lb woman who once went to a rifle range when she was a kid. Never went back, never served in the military, and wouldn't know the difference between a sargent and a captain. If I need a laborer on the farm and the employment agency sends me 4 teenagers who couldn't lift a fork off the table, I'd send them back. Would they then complain that they sent me workers and it was MY fault they couldn't work??? Answer? Yes....unfortunately, yes. obama HATES the U.S. military. He can't SAY that because he would lose 3-5% of his base....but his actions speak volumes.

No one that I know likes anything that Obama has to offer. VFW had the best anyway, and that would be Perry.
