I'm not knocking the POTUS for doing his job. But, with all the crap the Dems haven't yet done for our vets, homeless vets, and vets hospitals, I have a hard time believing Obama is sincere. They say they support veterans, but their lackluster efforts, don't impress me as "Walking The Talk". Your opinions are appreciated, but keep them civil, whether you are Pro Democrats, or not. I don't want any flame wars, please.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama urged the nation to keep veterans in their thoughts long after Veterans Day and ensure that they receive the care and benefits they've earned.

Every president goes to Arlington at different times. I'd reckon Memorial and Veterans day would be at the top of the lists even though Veterans day is for the living. Personally I wouldn't read to much into it, being the same questions are raised by different folks depending on who's president. Bush caught hell going to Arlington after sending troops to Iraq. Is he wrong to visit Arlington? Not in my opinion. I believe Iraq was a bad choice, but his going to pay respects to the dead is genuine.

Hard to know POTUS' motivation for visiting the cemetery. Does he truly honor military service or is he only doing lip service? Best I can say is that it is good he visited the cemetery.

COL Jason Smallfield, PMP, CFM, CM , Coming from you Sir, I feel more comfortable asking my question. Thank you. He just never seems sincere.

Damned if he does. Damned if he don't. Put the politics aside. If anyone, but POTUS, goes to Arlington on Veterans' Day, would he be subjected to scrutiny... for his motives? for his genuine time of reflection? What question would replace this should POTUS fail to acknowledge Veterans Day?
