The smartest president in U.S. history seems to have confused Memorial Day with Veterans Day. According to the Associated Press:

President Barack Obama saluted veterans and urged his countrymen to do the same this Memorial Day weekend, saying the nation has not always paid them proper respect.

In his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday, Obama said people can honor veterans by sending a letter or care package to troops overseas, volunteering at health clinics or taking supplies to a homeless veterans center. He said it could also mean something as simple as saying "thank you" to a veteran walking by on the street.

****

"That is what Memorial Day is all about," Obama said. "It is about doing all we can to repay the debt we owe to those men and women who have answered our nation's call by fighting under its flag. It is about recognizing that we, as a people, did not get here by accident or good fortune alone."


Someone might want to explain to the President that it is a little difficult to say "thank you" or send care packages to the deceased.

Even I, Haz, beat my head against the wall over this one. I have been to three military funerals for people I know, and have no desire to attend a fourth. You would think that someone could have gotten this through his head.

When Obama was in  Muslim school they forgot to cover America's Memorial Day. Go figure.

 It's not B O's fault, (the anointed one has no faults ) it is the fault of that Bush supporting extremist potential terrorist who loaded the teleprompter !!! BO never had an original thought on his own, he isn't actually tall, he walks on tip toe because of Soros's hand up his ass like a liberal Muppet.

Someone should explain to him that Veterans day is the "Little Holiday that could"....generally gets traded for the day after Thanksgiving!  I've never had one off unless it landed on a weekend.....

Labor day should be cancelled since 1/2 the population doesn't work anymore!

He isn't the only one that can't figure it out.  I was in Fredricksburg and the new Trace Adkins song "Til the Last Shots Fired" was on the radio.   WOW BTW that guy needs to be given a medal or two!.  So I get home to put it on the MP3 player and log into Napster.  Their "Memorial Day playlist" is a "feel good, give peace a chance" load of crap.  Good songs mind you but Dixie Chicks "Travelling Soldier" is the only one on the list that even REMOTELY has anything to do with why we have Memorial Day.  "Imagine?" "Give Peace a Chance?" "Tracks of my Tears?"  Is that the best they could come up with? 

Maybe if more of the sheeple had spent time in the Service we wouldn't have this problem (or this President).  Semper Fi!

I complained 2 years ago to google that they had nothing on the page for Veterans Day - no special logo or anything. Other search sites did. The lying little fascists at google told me - golly, we can't come up with something for every holiday now, can we?

Yet they managed to come up with a different logo every damn day of the damned Olympics.
