Obama Snubs VFW: First Time In Group’s History White House Not Sending Senior Official To Veterans Convention…
He could give a crap less. The only thing Obama cares about is votes and veterans aren’t exactly his biggest supporters.
(Fox News) — The Veterans of Foreign Wars convention this week will not feature a top-tier official from the Obama administration, a breach in tradition that the group’s commander described as an “insult of the highest magnitude.”
However, an administration official claimed Monday that the White House made “every effort” to provide a speaker for the event, offering up a range of top officials.
“In all instances, the VFW declined those offers,” the official said.
The veterans group is accustomed to playing host to the nation’s most powerful people at its national conference. Obama addressed the VFW in 2009, followed by Vice President Biden in 2010.
But the 2-million strong VFW accused the administration of snubbing its members by not providing a “first-tier speaker” for the first time in VFW history.
“The VFW has had a long-standing tradition of inviting the sitting president to address our convention,” Richard Eubank, national commander of the organization, said in a statement, adding that the White House typically chooses a “high-level administration official” to speak if the president cannot attend.
“It is an insult of the highest magnitude that for the first time in the history of the VFW, the White House has apparently decided that this great and iconic organization of combat veterans and all of its members are not worthy of its notice by not at least offering a first-tier speaker from the administration.”

This administration really hates us all, don’t they?
Utterly disrespectful.
(BTW Zip – It’s “Obama couldn’t care less.”
I doubt that barry even knows who the Veterans of Foreign Wars are.
Anyone need any more situations like this to see what owe-bum-uh’s attitude is ?
“7 Days in May” The Marxist in chief we have, perhaps our military will take back the government before he orders them to kill us.
Barry, you’re commander in chief, not demand-er in chief.
Perry 2012. I bet the Governor would speak.
What? you mean the under secretary of dog catcher’s limo driver isnt high enough to speak at the event? Realy those VFW guys are picky/ snarc off
They have shown their true colors from day one, is anyone realy surpirsed at this point?
Perry’s going to be there!
Btw…here’s a link, just one of many ~

Would you really want to hear him or his lackeys speak?
As a veteran myself, I say – Fuck him! You can bet the next president will be someone proud of America right off the bat and not someone who has to drag America into the shitter to be proud. Fuck the whole bunch of worthless Commie cocksuckers!
Obie’s pissed because the VFW isn’t honoring him for personally killing Bin Laden. Besides, he needs his rest after vacationing on Martha’s Vineyard.
Isn’t barry the same barry who sat in a church listening to listening to “God D*mn America” sermons for 20+ years?
snubbing vets is just standard operating procedure for Barry.
BTW, Perry was there… here is the speech:

Of all the people any President should be honoring, it is our veterans.
I don’t think “disrespectful” is strong enough. I vote for “despicable”.
If you heard one commie speak then you’ve heard them all. Maybe they wanted a patriotic American this time.
The VFW vets would probably piss on him during a speech – mistaking his face for the Obama and Jane Fonda cakes they have in their urinals.
I only hope this Turd walks away after he is thrown out in 2012 and shuts his piehole instead of hanging around for years like clinton and the goracle
a former dem…
Thanks for that link ~ much appreciated, will be checking it out later.
Probably saving money. Spent too much money on vacations.
Send Sarah Palin………
Maybe if they held the convention in Martha’s Vineyard…

Sure
Enjoy.
perry did a great job with that speech, very respectful and very sincere.
Really, is anyone surprised by this, usual Obama.
This assclown must do down!! He does not deserve the title of CIC…….he is complete shame to ever be considered an American…….he will continue with his scorched earth policies as his term come to an end…….
they didn’t pay $38,500 per plate, why would Obama bless them with his presence?
Piece. Of. Shit.
Wait…wait…all is not lost…there is hope that the convention could get Obama’s uncle who was just busted for DUI…all they have to do is bail his ratty ass out! On top of that he is an illegal! What a great speaker and representative of the Obama family he would be! Please VFW, consider this a suggestion!
Me, personally, I wouldn’t've invited anybody from the Obama regime, in the first place. This event would’ve been noteworthy by virtue of the fact that this would’ve been the first president to have been snubbed by the VFW. I don’t think he should be invited to prayer events, Memorial Day events, Veterans Day events, or anything else that has anything to do with the military. When family members are killed in service, he shouldn’t be allowed to attend funeral or memorial services, on penalty of being told he’s trespassing. He’s an undesirable, so why complain when he’s not around? That’s like being mad because Clinton doesn’t show up at the Vietnam Memorial Wall. The only way he should’ve been showing up is by having his name inscribed on that wall.
Brilliant@Bishop Jr.!
Not a bad speech, terrible tie though. It appears the VFW needs some new, fresh, young faces.
Screw barry and his people.
I think that the Obama administration knows that they have only until January 2013. This close to a re-election year and snubbing the VFW? That doesn’t sound like someone who is going to be re-elected.
OT: Pres. Bush interview on NatGeo is on right now. At least, where I am living. It really should not be missed.
But he will meet with the BLACK PANTHERS or WEATHERMAN UDERGROUND any time SHAMELESS NO GOOD CREEP
I’ve got an idea!
We’ll send Bawney Fwank!!
a former dem…
We listened to it here, my hubby liked it as I did too.
Once again much thanks to you ~
Pretty pathetic when O cannot even send a rep to VFW Convention…then again he knows Perry and Texas are his biggest enemies …he’s going to be crushed by them…along with the rest of us.
O dug his grave…still is, he’s going to be sorry he’s still digging it…the dems are going to ask him to step aside in time, publicly..no doubt about it.
Honestly, I wouldn’t want him or any member of his socialist agenda cabinet addressing a patriotic organization. Why waste everybody’s time? Obama pretending not to despise them, and probably 90% of them pretending not to despise him. Better to reanimate Benedict Arnold to address them than Obama ; at least Arnold was a patriot initially, and served with distinction until his betrayal.
What do you expect when the hippies finally get control of society?
Probably tried to send Valerie Jarrett.
They were never going to send anyone to Texas especially since Perry put his hand up for Republican nomination.
Perry did a good job – better than a few others I have seen from him on youtube .A little wooden but not too out -of -place in a solemn arena.
Obama 0/10 Perry 7.5/10.
One can only imagine who Obama tried to send. Van (communist) Jones? Jay (pussy) Carney? Valerie (AC/DC) Jarret?
Probably Ofraud is afraid for his life around military personnel?
He’ll hang out with anti-Americans all day long but vets?
Piss on Obama.
A snub to the Gov of India, after prancing around in molecular shoes on
ghandi day inside the red fort, American Forign Veterans, is a no show, on the front lines. sad way to start the week.
Foreign War Veterans that is.
All the guys at my post could care less about him and the wookie being to busy.
Pompous, arrogant a$$hole!
You are all wrong about Obama not caring for our veteran’s and our service people! After all, just look at any one of a multitude of pictures where he gives a smart, snappy and well executed salute to the flag or someone in unif……………uh, never mind.

Another article had the administration saying they offered to send the U.N. Ambassador. Offering the U.N. Ambassador would have been equivalent to offering to send the guy who voices “Beef” commercials to a PETA convention. Or like giving the Queen of England an iPod of obama speeches. Or like giving the British Prime Minister an incompatible DVD. These fools need to go. 2012 BABY!!!!!!!!!!
As a member of the VFW I would rather not see that jackass/douchebag speak at any VFW function!
He does not deserve to stand in front of any VFW member. 
Buck Ofama!
I love the VFW, I donate to them alot, they send out lovely gifts, even if you don’t donate. A beautiful calendar, note paper, address labels.
The next time I send in a reply I’m going to tell them they should consider themselves lucky that obumb*ck or any of his commie minions
didn’t go to their gathering and befoul it with the horrible stench of
scum that is obummer!
I also like the suggestion that they shouldn’t have invited him in the first place! Maybe they’ll wise up for next year!
@sentinel
Bravo.
The VFW dont need this rotten scumrat oinking to them anyway
