President Obama Speaks At Arlington - Live Feed
On this day when we should never forget, we are sure President Obama, fresh from his surprise snubbing of Karzai in Afghanistan, will try his best to remember who was in charge (and ultimately accountable) when the VA scandal broke.
The President is due to speak at 1120ET...

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cold blooded killer.
"I'm good at killing people."
What a fag.
Obama is speaking?
I'd rather watch midget porn and listen to Roseanne Barr sing
The tribe loves this gay cock sucker.
C'mon Tyler, was it snubbing "of" or "by" Karzai?
The media report here by of all media outlets Yahoo, paints a somewhat different picture of the details.
DaddyO
How on earth can anybody in the military serve in good conscience under this assclown??
Terms of enlistment are for 3 years. Any enlisted man still serving since this joker started is obviously doing so of their own free will. How is this possible?
Commissioned officers can resign their commissions at any time, academy or ROTC commitments notwithstanding. Officers are typically college educated. How can they not know better?
Absurd.
Did the Tylers post this? If so, they must have smirked when typing 'ultimately responsible'.
We all know that because Obama is a black leftist, he will never be held to account for anything. He's to blame, but will never be 'responsible' for anything he's done.
Ahem, correction, "typical" black leftist ;-)
With jobs having been made so bountiful via the usurper & co-conspirators, it is amazing anyone would want or need to join the military, indeed.
Stupid bitch, the golf course was the LEFT turn!
FORWARD SOVIET GOLF CARTS!
Can't stand watching or listening to this guy for five seconds. <mute button>
I would watch out of curiosity. Will he fuck up the moment of silence?

WAR IS PEACE
He's not clowning around when it comes to tanking America.
RamBozo, RamBozo, RamBozo the War Klown.
I want YOU to die for ME.
Blah, blah blah obamacare, blah blah blah, obamphone, blah blah blah me, blah blah blah white racists, blah blah blah I'm wonderful, blah blah blah consitution is racist and needs redoing, blah blah blah me
WAR IS PEACE
Socialism is way of life
Sheeples bend over
Armed Forces are dumb fucks I use to favor myself to get my Nobel Shit Prize
After spending a few hours talking last night with an active duty and reservist, it's pretty damn obvious to me, that we would be talking "break in the chain", if this fool didn't have a firm exit date!!!
Impeach the Heroin trafficer in Chief.
MOAR cannon fodder!
Hopefully a coup is being announced.
Coup is already here, Baby! Just not the one we need.
FORWARD KONZENTRATIONSLAGER!
Obama: "On this Memorial Day, we must never forget that I need to get in a couple rounds of golf before dinner, after which I will suck Reggie's balls."
Yep, Obagger likes nuts for dessert.
A banana split without nuts just won't do.
The whole story of 'Obama playing golf' is a ruse. He is terrible at golf. Hence, he does not play as many rounds as advertised. What is he doing in the club house, then?
Fuck You Fuckbama....you fucking cunt
Scumbag. Liar.
Chickenshitz like the arrogant narcissistic illegal indonesian kenyan muslim sociopayhic ignoramus liar in chief only intetested in its grand imperial celebrit life style dishonors yhe men and women who gave their lives with his stinkung prrsence.
No golf today?
What no golf? Unacceptable, must golf to celebrate deaths.
"He was a buffalo soldier"
There is talk that the Afghan withdrawl is because Russia is cutting off the supply lines.
Russia has supply lines?
They appear to have Bagram's in overflights from the north.
buffalo soldier, was not a name to be proud of but rather an insult, the indians said that they were the offspring of the white soldiers mating with buffalo.
look it up, it makes me laugh my ass off everytime i think about it.
another one that tickles hell out of me is the north carolina tarheels. they were named for the tenacious north carolina civil war soldiers that stuck to a position like they had tar on their heels. hahhaahhhahahahaahhah.
i can't wait for the naacp to finally figure that one out
Narcissist in Chief. Supreme pontificator. Lying bag of wind.
Obama sure likes killing brown people.
Oh he likes killing white people too, don't delude yourself or others.
I hate to agree with that...I really do.
"America is about to find the war it's been looking for."

Did I say he didn't? No I did not.
No you did not, I just wanted to make sure it was pointed out as well.
"President Obama Speaks At Arlington"
Who is bothering to listen? It will be nothing but empty words.
If I ran this site I'd never put up a post about this imbecile speaking on any subject, anywhere, ever.
What a POS..
His incompetence will be forgotten. The so called liberal media cannot allow the first African American president to be labeled a failure, and years after his presidency will come the glowing documentaries and commentaries akin to the way Nelson Mandela was glorified, regardless of the failure he ultimately became. Pointing out the truth will earn you the label of 'Racist Bigot".
If I die...or get killed...tomorrow...let these be my last words: "If we'd gone into Syria besides giving one last attempt at defending our interests it also would have relieved the pressure for our total withdrawl from the Middle East and the wind down of this entire debacle."
I understand it sounds counter-intuitive and back asswards..."but that's my story and i'm sticking to it."
I really am terrified with what I see going on right now...and the prima facie lack of any grip on reality when it comes to the rhetoric that goes along with it.
As Hitler famously said "the bigger my lies the more they believe me."
Of course as Eisenhower famously said as well "I knew I had him when he believed in his own lies."
Our media had better start getting a grip on even the mere idea that truth even exists.
Became?
Instead of calling them the "Liberal Media", Its probably better to call them the "Liberal Socialist Subculture".

Haven't you heard? If you are white, apparently you are automatically a racist. Might as well start acting that way, LOL.
"I promised peace and an end to the wars but you'll just have to send your kids into the meat grinder of war for a little while longer because we have found new enemies. I know that if we just keep fighting we will have peace in our time, eventually."
Think this tool of a POTUS remembers this song?
Won't someone play it for him please?
"Well come on Wall Street don't be slow,
Why man this is war go go go,
There's plenty good money to be made,
By supplying the army with the tools of the trade,
Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb
They drop it on the Vietcong.
And its 1,2,3 what are we fighting for?
Don't ask me I don't give a damn,
The next stop is Vietnam,
And its 5,6,7 open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
WHOOPEE we're all gonna die."

Skipped teleprompter recital, headed straight to comments. As a veteran, Memorial Day has a special meaning. It's a day to mourn the poor duped who died for sociopaths and flag-waving narcissists. It's a sad day, and the only thing I'm grateful for is that I'm not being "honored" as well.
Agreed.
War Is A Racket
By Major General Smedley Butler

Funny how I spent 6 years in The Corps (pre-internet), yet never heard of this book until long afterwards.
@Mr. Pickles Amen, Bro, Amen.
EIN VOLK! EIN BARACK! EIN REICH!
Like Abe Lincoln, in his letter to the mother he believed had lost five sons in the Civil War for the Union cause, Obama uses the butchery, slaughter and greed of war to posture that it’s worth the price. Here’s Lincoln to Mrs. Bixby:
“I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom.”
Solemn pride?
Nothing quite like killing one in every twenty people just to prove the point that "might is right."
Back then, people believedin heaven, the afterlife etc, like this was just obviously the set up, and none questioned it. in the islamotard world the no questions allowed stance on such subjects is pretty hard line still today.
Psychopaths love to voice in doublespeak.
I expected "I'm all for closing guantanamo bay, it remains high on my agender" but golf comes first...
Barry has 6 home-based crises - that we know of.
Barry has Ukraine, China/Japan, China/Vietnam, China/Russia to contend with too.
Lot's of chaos. What's the solution? WHO CARES?? Barry and his band of communists create the crises knowing that they can't be touched, since the Dems and Repubs are the same party.
We live in a world of "punch and judy" - two puppets on stage who constantly fight with each other over crap that they invent.
that version of "america, the beautiful" was frightening
and extremely creepy, fitting and appropriate for the
occassion.

this is shameful and based on fraud on such a grand scale
that it leaves people speechless and broken. memorial day turned
into a recruitment opportunity for the bankers to steal
more both domestically and otherwise. their culture of
war is a racket, plain and simple, and they manage to
pervert everything from religion to economics, family
to music to accomplish their crimes, to actualise the
trance that hangs over the country like a fog over the
minds, a cloak over the eyes. let us pray,
go in peace, ahhhh-men.

war is peace? fascism is freedom?
the political class in the usa are chosen to be the world's
grand example of disappointment and this to teach the
people of the world a lesson, to send a global message
to all the world. the message, governance is to be left
to the bankers in the shadows, the closet fascists and the
criminal class; foam the runways for them as timmay said.

Your points, blindman, remind me of a painting made into a poster following the sinking of the British passenger liner Lusitania, loaded with armaments in the war zone around the British Isles, before America had entered WWI.
The poster depicts a woman with a baby in her arms dead and sinking in the sea with one word: ENLIST
Nothing can be inspiring in this Memorial Day show when those American flags behind these people can be burned now without it being a crime…and that those are the flags being given to the mothers and fathers and widows of military killed in the war, and that standing in front of those flags are the killers.
Thanks, blindman, for expressing these profound thoughts that many must be feeling today.
Not a mention of the VA scandal on Lame Stream Media.... just fawning talk of veterans and how they should be treated with respect... etc.
When does the individuals in Lame Stream media start getting thei comeuppence...hard?
it angers me whenever a president that has never served makes a grandstanding address at arlington, at leat g w bush sr and jr served. sr was even in combat.
the empty suit, empty soul, clueless drug addicted barrel of monkey spunk obama should not stain the ground of arlington.
memorial day is not a "celebration" for me, it is now and has been a day of rememberance since 1983 when my roommate and friend, whom we use to joke about the playing of echo-taps when we were cadets lies in that hallowed ground.

The Illusion of War
By Richard Le Gallienne
(American poet, born in England, 1866–1947)
WAR I abhor, and yet how sweet
The sound along the marching street
Of drum and fife, and I forget
Wet eyes of widows, and forget
Broken old mothers, and the whole 5
Dark butchery without a soul.
Without a soul, save this bright drink
Of heady music, sweet as hell;
And even my peace-abiding feet
Go marching with the marching street— 10
For yonder, yonder goes the fife,
And what care I for human life!
The tears fill my astonished eyes,
And my full heart is like to break;
And yet ’tis all embannered lies, 15
A dream those little drummers make.
O, it is wickedness to clothe
Yon hideous grinning thing that stalks,
Hidden in music, like a queen,
That in a garden of glory walks, 20
Till good men love the thing they loathe.
Art, thou hast many infamies,
But not an infamy like this—
Oh, snap the fife, and still the drum,
And show the monster as she is!
i like Obama

Memorial Day 2014: Just Following Orders
Posted on May 26, 2014 by Charles Hugh Smith
.
Large-scale evil requires surrender of autonomy, coercion by a central authority and a willingness to follow orders.
There is evil, and then there’s organized evil. This is a memorial outside the village where my brother lives in the south of France. It is a typical village, quite small, perhaps a few hundred residents. The memorial commemorates three young French civilians who were taken out and shot by Nazi soldiers, either for “crimes” of resistance or perhaps as a “lesson” to the restive civilian populace.
The German soldiers who pulled the triggers were of course “just following orders.”
Evil must be resisted, corralled, vanquished. Interestingly, people don’t need to be forced by a central authority to resist evil, though their efforts will prove more successful if they band together and submit to a competent authority of their own choosing. This is the basis of the “good war” or “just war.”
But to be part of large-scale organized evil, people need to surrender their autonomy under threat, and be ordered by a central authority.
This is the origin of the Nuremberg Defense: I was only following lawful, Superior Orders when I murdered those French civilians. The soldiers who followed the orders would have been punished had they refused; coercion is always the backbone of central authority.
Hannah Arendt wrote about the Great Evil, Nazi Germany, and “The Final Solution” of death camps in Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil. The Nazi machine spewed plentiful opportunities to practice the banality of evil, and the death camps were simply one division of the daily grind of pressing one’s palms on evil and passing it on to the next “good German.”
The routine killing of civilians went on day after day; it was the “day job” of the occupying troops.
Those inside the central authority know, of course, but very few are telling, because the see-saw is just so imbalanced in a system which depends on lies and the distortion of truth to continue its domination.
Truth-tellers will lose their prestigious positions, their generous salaries and the acceptance of their peers, and perhaps their lives. In exchange for this sacrifice, the truth-teller receives only the glowing, ephemeral shards of his/her integrity: in the current zeitgeist, that literally has no value. The machine will grind on without them, impervious to the tiny pricks of truth; the machinery of propaganda, artifice, misdirection and misrepresentation is well-oiled and masterful in the reach and scope of its operation.
In this context, it is worth watching the documentary The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers. Daniel Ellsberg was only one of thousands of “good Americans” doing their job in a war machine built entirely on lies and propaganda. He was one of a handful of citizens out of those thousands, or tens of thousands, who was willing to trade his career for his integrity and conscience.
The Vietnam War was “sold” to the public as a “just and necessary war” that they had “chosen” via their elected representatives. But it was all lies, propaganda and coercion, crowned by the profound cowardice of an elected leadership unwilling to risk the loss of perquisites and power.
Ellsberg had given excerpts of The Pentagon Papers, the secret and oh-so-dangerous unvarnished truth about America’s involvement in Vietnam, to various members of Congress; all but one did nothing. Only Rep. Pete McCloskey (R) thought the American people deserved the truth. (McCloskey is a decorated U.S. Marine Corps veteran of combat during the Korean War, recipient of the Navy Cross, the Silver Star, and two awards of the Purple Heart. He published Truth and Untruth – Political Deceit in America in 1972.)
Perhaps the American people would have chosen to sacrifice their youth and treasure on what it had concluded was a “just and necessary” in Vietnam, but it never got the chance to learn the truth which was the necessary foundation of any such decision.
That’s how the banality of evil works. When truth becomes too dangerous to the Status Quo, it must be strangled every day, by tens of thousands of people, and its limp corpse hidden away.
Memorial Day Reading (book List)
This piece by Charles Hugh-Smith deserves an answer:
The American lawyers who went to Nuremberg to judge the losing nations’ leaders after the war were "just following orders" also, the orders of a victor.
The diplomats who went to Paris and carved up Europe for their own industrial and Empire greed, forcing Germany into a Versailles sentence that would bring on an even greater war than they had just experienced were "just following orders" from their bankers back home.
The causes of wars from Sarajevo to Hanoi to Moscow and Palestine have been so lied about and camouflaged by the Empire makers and bankers and their media that a US Marine these days is likely to be following the same Empire-building orders his ancestors did under Presidents Wilson and F. D. Roosevelt.
And isn’t it time that today’s writers come up with a clearer vision of evil than the Nazi Party? My word, this has gotten to be the most sickening, overused, mishandled symbolism in the history of the world. And the purpose, which of course fulfills every dream of the Zionists, is to mask the events of today with the lies of yesterday.
"Germany has always been the pawn." – General George S. Patton
General Patton, after a visit to ruined Berlin, wrote his wife on July 21, 1945: "Berlin gave me the blues. We have destroyed what could have been a good race, and we are about to replace them with Mongolian savages. And all Europe will be communist. It's said that for the first week after they took it (Berlin), all women who ran were shot and those who did not were raped. I could have taken it (instead of the Soviets) had I been allowed."
And speaking of evil -- current evil -- as American citizens we are drowning in it; for it is our country that is the author of slaughter, torture, and enslavement. Just witness the attitude of the United States Congress toward the occupation of Palestine and the genocide of her people by a country enjoying a “special relationship” with America, the Superpower.

"Why War Is Inevitable
Paul Craig Roberts
Memorial Day is when we commemorate our war dead. Like the Fourth of July, Memorial Day is being turned into a celebration of war.
Those who lose family members and dear friends to war don’t want the deaths to have been in vain. Consequently, wars become glorious deeds performed by noble soldiers fighting for truth, justice, and the American way. Patriotic speeches tell us how much we owe to those who gave their lives so that America could remain free.
The speeches are well-intentioned, but the speeches create a false reality that supports ever more wars. None of America’s wars had anything to do with keeping America free. To the contrary, the wars swept away our civil liberties, making us unfree." ...pcr..

..."This is also a story reflecting the betrayal of the Russian Revolution. The tsars and their corrupt
political system were ejected only to be replaced by the new powerbrokers of another corrupt
political system. Where the United States could have exerted its dominant influence to bring
about a free Russia it truckled to the ambitions of a few Wall Street financiers who, for their
own purposes, could accept a centralized tsarist Russia or a centralized Marxist Russia but not
a decentralized free Russia. And the reasons for these assertions will unfold as we develop the
underlying and, so far, untold history of the Russian Revolution and its aftermath.4"

Being the voice of reason on ZH is a thankless task, but -- expecting a president to be aware of what every government beauracracy is up to is unrealistic to say the least. It's just FOX talking points.
And being out on the golf course or out on vacation or out collecting campaign contributions the majority of time makes it all that much more difficult.
FU Barry, and the progressive commie jackwagon you rode in on.
GET OFF OUR LAWN.
He hates this country. He despises the military. And, he abhors this day and the words his handlers make him say.
I'm just so surprised he's not out playing golf or on some secluded vacation.
