    For the third year in a row of his presidency, Barack Obama has yet to spend Thanksgiving with the troops at home or abroad like President Bush did. In a time of war, the president should show appreciation and support for his troops by showing up for Thanksgiving dinner and give thanks for their courage and sacrifice. It is a huge morale booster if this were to happen but the president for some reason has yet to do it. In 2008, president elect Obama spent Thanksgiving in Chicago with family and friends. In 2009, president Obama spent Thanksgiving at the White House with family and friends. In 2010, president Obama spent Thanksgiving at the White House with family and friends. This year he will do the same. He did address to the troops with 4 sentences praising them this morning but in essence, he really should go visit the troops in person like President Bush did during wartime. Troop morale is low in the middle east, especially in Afghanistan. Bush's father even ate Thanksgiving with the troops in Saudi Arabia during the first Gulf War. What is keeping Obama from visiting the troops in person on Thanksgiving? Is it religion? In 2009 he was the first president ever in the Thanksgiving proclamation to omit direct mention of God. This upset Americans. He failed to mention god today in his proclamation. I have a link to that story below the video

    Obama Makes History: Thanksgiving Proclamation First Ever to Omit Direct Mention of God

    http://www.lifesitenews.com/?/news/...ng-proclamation-first-ever-to-omit-direct-men

    WASHINGTON, D.C., November 27, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - President Obama's brief proclamation of Thanksgiving Day on November 26 was unique among all recorded Thanksgiving proclamations by his predecessors: it is the first one that fails to directly acknowledge the existence of God.

    The beneficence shown by God to America is a theme that traditionally defines the Thanksgiving holiday, and this theme is strongly emphasized in the original Thanksgiving Day proclamations and consistently acknowledged even by modern presidents.

    I'm pretty sure that Obama is flesh and blood.

    Obama's girls are young. Its appropriate he should spend the holiday in family time.

    That is because Obama is the most unpatriotic, most anti-military potus we have ever had.

    The guy doesn't like the constitution, he doesn't like patriotism, or tradition or ...oh hell i could go on forever.

    You really think he'd go out of his way to spend time w/the troops in another country when he wouldn't even greet the vets during the Inaugural Ball? Silly man..... he was the 1st president to snub the vets during the Inauguration in over 50 yrs. Obama was to busy yukking it up w/the Hollyweirdos, so he sent Biden to greet the vets.... big deal.:twisted:

    He has also yet to get the US into a war of choice that killed thousands of U.S troops.

    Seems to me with the draw down in Iraq more US troops will be having turkey at home this year. YOu mad about that bro?

    So that's two good things he did; forgetting to mention a stupid mythological entity is the other one.

    bush was a dirty, nasty, leg who was a military wannabe(he could not even show up for drill.)

    The president is not a soldier, and, unlike bush I do not want the president to pretend that he is.

    It's hard for him to be humble and sit where he know's 95% of all the soldiers he is eating with didn't vote for him.

    President Bush was a very respected president for being so humbled to be with our soldiers, the military loved and continues to love him to this day, something Obama will never experience.

    Pilots go through training far more rigorous than Jump School my misinformed liberal friend.

    Obama is a friggin spineless POS. His disrespect for the troops is enormous. And to no one's dismay, the troops generally regard him as a limp dick commander as well. Watch and learn.

    So you really think his girls would suffer terribly if their dad, the POTUS, went out of his way to build the morale of the troops by spending a holiday w/them, showing them in person his appreciation for them?

    Bet the children of the servicemen would love to have had their dad at home for Thanksgiving day, but they're learning about giving to others and they can't have everything they want....... but then that's different, isn't it?

    Shame he could not make drill then isn't it. You would think somebody with the dedication to qualify as a pilot could make drill. Hmmm, something smells fishy.

    Bush caused the deaths of thousands of Americans for oil in Iraq. I am amazed that you give him a free pass.

    Limp dick commander? Maybe some do, but not all. I know many thought bush was an friggin idiot.


    Oh thanks for the propaganda video.
