I didn't say he doesn't love America. I said he was politically tone deaf and would be well advised to follow Clinton's example regarding Arlington.
No. He should make an extra effort to uphold traditions that are appropriate to the leadership and CIC roles of the Presidency.
interesting that this troll thread was posted today given it's been proven, how many times? that bush and reagan both had their VP's go to arlington.
i guess they skipped it for the same reason.
nutters.
This thread belongs in Conspiracy Theories.
When Obama isn't controlled by blacks or Jews, he hates blacks and Jews...more stupid rightwingloon talking points colliding.

why? was the letter real or not? if not then conspiracy theory.. but I'm betting you just don't like the implications right??
People buried in the Lincoln National Cemetery are socialists? News to me...and even if true and they fought for their country, why does that matter?This thread belongs in Conspiracy Theories.

Why not?
He was elected on the rather feeble Platform of Change, and those that voted for Change are getting Change: CIC that ignores tradition, and returns to Chicago to hang out with the local Socialists.

Not what you said...but, regardless. How is not honoring the Confederacy a bad thing? IMO, they were fucktards that wanted to keep slaves because they were too lame to figure out a way to make money otherwise.People buried in the Lincoln National Cemetery are socialists?

Actually, I was referring to the Co-signees of the letter in the OP: Quite a large % are from the Chicago Area, and all are socialists.

An interesting letter sent to Obama last year by a group of black academics and historians encourages him to not participate in the Memorial Day Ceremony at Arlington:
May 18, 2009
President Barack H. Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500
Dear President Obama:
Since the administration of Woodrow Wilson, presidents have sent annually a wreath to the Arlington Confederate Monument. Prior to the administration of George H. W. Bush, this was done on or near the birthday of Jefferson Davis. Starting with George H.W. Bush, it has been done on Memorial Day.
We ask you to not send a wreath or some other commemorative token to the Arlington Confederate Monument during your administration or after.
There are several reasons as to why this monument, a product of the Nadir in American race relations, should not be honored, and we list and explain them in this letter.
The monument was intended to legitimize secession and the principles of the Confederacy and glorify the Confederacy. It isn’t just a remembrance of the dead. The speeches at its ground-breaking and dedication defended and held up as glorious the Confederacy and the ideas behind it and stated that the monument was to these ideals as well as the dead. It was also intended as a symbol of white nationalism, portrayed in opposition to the multiracial democracy of Reconstruction, and a celebration of the re-establishment of white supremacy in the former slave states by former Confederate soldiers. In its design it also tells wrong history, boasting fourteen shields with the coat of arms of fourteen states. Thus it claims that Missouri, Kentucky, and Maryland were part of the Confederacy. They weren’t. ....
Dear President Obama: Please Don't Honor the Arlington Confederate Monument
