obama rejects Gettysburg visit for 150th anniversary

[packerbacker]

Instead he is sending Sally Jewell, sec of the interior. Now, that makes sense. She is heavily into environmental mitigation and maybe she can give a speech on removing all the lead balls from the battlefield. o-bama didn't want to make a speech at a place where any additional speeches could come in second place at best. We don't need him there anyway. Had he been president back then, only the Confederates would have shown up.

Even though I wouldn't be able to see him from here anyway,
Why would We want him in PA ?

Personally I wouldn't want him there to desecrate those sacred grounds with a speech where so many on both sides gave their lives for their country...

I can't agree that the Confederates gave their lives for their country. They died doing everything they could to tear it apart.

Good luck to all,

TSk TSk. Opinions , And bad attitudes. Disinformation runs deep in you !

Well, what does it really matter? If he had shown up people would have screamed foul and he was only trying to satisfy some sort of political agenda. Honestly, ask yourself, and no I'm not asking for a reply: what day is the 150th anniversary of Gettysburg? The 10th? 14th? 18th? 19th? 22nd? Do you have to look it up? If you do you have no business shrieking about Obama missing the 150th event. Besides, he's got a few more years left as President to make it there HAHA!

From ARRA News Service: First Black President Won't Attend 150th Anniversary of Gettysburg Address

First 1/2 black president. Funny the news media isn't mentioning this or the fact that the Muslim slave trade is still growing strong. Never figured out why angry blacks wanted to join the Muslim ranks when the Muslims have a thriving slave trade. Go figure.

Yeah, that's sure to get people on your side. Also, if you can tell us ANYTHING, ANYTHING about Marx, when he lived, died, where, when, what he wrote, his nationality, where he was buried, that may give you some cred. Again, no looking for a reply, I just want you to look at yourself and see if you know ANYTHING about Marx. I doubt you do if you're comparing Obama to Marx. In a nutshell Marx touted the importance of the working class to control their own destiny, not leave it to the factories, and for the working class to enjoy life on their own terms, not the factories conditions. I have a BA in Sociology, I've studied this, I've published on it. The working class being happy, Oh, that's really bad, innit?

Really Ed? You live your life by emulating all Marx? Do you have some weird shrine to his teachings, or maybe a couple of human bones that were donated because of his largess? Are you actually now advocating for slavery,, or ignoring the evil of it? Your post is a little hard to read, so I will let you interpret your intentions.

I read it, I was hoping you were not so lacking in perception. Sorry, I was trying to give you an out that you didn't want.

That's ok Dave, we forgive, and commend you for at least trying.

Thank you for being so gracious. And in that vein, would you like to tell us about your infatuation with the Marx? Is that what passes for education?

Do not try and attack anyone's education here, it violates our rules.

So here you are exclaiming shrilly that you have a point you want answered?
I guess we need to deal with you first. We can't discuss anything until you decide what it is that YOU want.

The US Constitution details how states may enter the Union. It says nothing about leaving. Unless one takes the position the Founders and Framers didn't know what they were doing, it's obvious it's a one-way street.

Abraham Lincoln and the North made it clear those states never left the Union. Those who fought for the Confederacy may have thought they were fighting for their respective states, but they were not fighting for their country.

That was the United States of America. With a government of, by and for the people.

Your reasoning would mean we never left England. The Confederate States suceded from the Union and formed Confederate States of America. Losing the war does not change fact they left.....

Treasure Hunter:

First of all, we won the American Revolution. Great Britain refused to recognize the citizens of the American colonies had the rights of other English subjects.

There was no United States Constitution in 1776.

Do you not agree that the Constitution does not provide a mechanism for states to leave the Union? Do you not agree that if they thought such a thing a good idea - even possible - the Founders and Framers would have included that in the original document?

Again - the Constitution clearly states how a state may join the Union. There's nothing there about leaving. It's a marriage with no divorce.

The states never left the Union. They tried to go - and didn't make it out the door. The War settled the issue. The Union - and the Constitution - won.

Good luck to all,

ok, they fought for the "South", how's that? It's just funny that he wouldn't take the opportunity to go to Gettysburg, if for nothing else but to "appear" to appreciate an important moment in history that led to an earlier freedom for "his people" than would have taken place. Whitey died for his freedom there. He could have just honored the North. Maybe that's the problem, Lincoln honored both sides in his speech and obumma didn't want to. He'd rather go to Africa and give speeches to villagers on his father's struggles as an African and how he overcame them. Didn't mention he was actually raised and influenced by whites and was nothing more than a daddy baby like so many others in this country. Check the stats and obumma, stay away from hallowed ground. That's where men of honor reside. `
