President Obama presented the traditional wreath at Arlington today. His words were eloquent, his thoughts cogent. The crowd seemed larger than usual for such events. The strict military regimen usually found at such events and the long, tiring remarks by Generals, Secretaries and others were limited. The crowd in fact was effusive. Their dress was casual and yet quite patriotic. The response by the crowd to President’s remarks were emotive! Not bad for a President that has never served in the Armed Forces of the United States….and even mentioned that fact. His support for the troops however, was unequivocal. Thank you Mr. President!
As our uncertain financial future as a nation faces a couple of tough years yet to come…..it was reassuring to see the President present himself artfully and to represent our nation in such fine fashion.
In other news, Terrell Owens (T.O.) is complaining again. He is the opitime of suffering from “spoiled brat rich athletic syndrome” (SBRAS). Terrell Owens used to play wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys. He got traded to the Buffalo Bills with a one year $6.5 million dollar contract. Owens is blaming QB Tony Romo and one of his former Coaches for all his problems in Dallas.
Owens joins the ranks or other great cry babies like: “Iron Mike Tyson”, Darrell Strawberry, Michael Vick, Pete Rose, Jose Conseco, Roger Clemens, Marco Andretti and even Danica Patrick. “All Victims” – all the time! Not very attractive is it? In fact, in these days of great sacrifice to and for others that will be required….isn’t it time for these people all to become “real men” and stand up, be humble, be pleased with what they have done and to stop blaming others for their loses or personal upsets? That goes double for “Danica”….who stands out as someone that really needs to stop blaming “those creepy other drivers”…like Paul Tracy, Dan Wheldon, Scott Dixon and the other Go Daddy girls. Not attractive and not necessary. These athletes all make way too much money and have way too many perks….to be bitterly complaining about anything. Unless of course Paul Tracy get a Playboy Lay-out offered to him!
These sad people, along with lots we did not mention….all need to join with the many celebrities which are visiting and entertaining US Forces in countries around the world….on their own time. The sorry people need to understand that they are in the entertainment business and as such…..do not need their own “Reality TV Show” to become someone.
The sports figures in this country need to get humble, get intelligent and get with the program! People are dying all around the world, people are losing their homes, their jobs and lives because of poor healthcare. These people should remember…..this Memorial Day and they should be showing their grateful respect to those that have gone before and sacrificed for our basic freedoms!
