Barack Obama’s State of the Union snub
Much has been made about the president scolding the Supreme Court’s decision on McCain/Feingold and Alito’s reaction to it, and I did find this to be an awkward moment but there was one other moment–or non-moment– that I found even more interesting.
Barack Obama found the time to send two shout outs to an obviously miffed and angry Michelle Obama, yet Jessica Mundley and Mark Todd– the two heroes who stopped the Fort Hood terrorist– who were guests of the first lady, were never even acknowledged by the president.
I kept waiting for the moment when Barack Obama would mention these two heroes so they could be applauded for their actions at Fort Hood but it never came. I found it strange that he would invite these two to the State of the Union and not even bother to tell the congress or the American people that they were there. Yet he found the time twice to remind viewers that his wife was there.
Why is this? Is this another example of Barack Obama trying not to offend terrorists by giving two people who stopped a terrorist act while it was in progress a little publicity to a grateful nation?

You’re thinking about this too much… obviously someone forgot to put it on the teleprompter.

When he “inherited” the teleprompter the words weren’t on there, so it wasn’t his fault.

Terrant – LOL! Good one.
Good points Mr. Pink Eyes.
How do you know Michelle was angry?
Obama seems to continually dismiss our military. It really bothers me.

She did not look happy when he mentioned her, you could see it in her face, but then she motioned to everybody and said “sit down.” Barack then tried to make a joke of it by saying something abuot her being shy.

What would Allah say if he acknowledged these two heroes?

My sentiments, exactly. I don’t care what anyone says, or any excuse that is made. His father taught him the muslim faith when he was little and he did not forget it. He has said it himself, even though George Steph. had to “correct” him. And to be the first president who does not attend church regularly? How very “progressive” of him….

Coddle terrorists and ignore heroes. Typical lefty, if you ask me.
