SHAME ON YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA. THESE BRAVE MEN CAME TO RESPECT YOU, YET YOUR BLATANT FAILURE TO RECOGNIZE THEM SENDS THEM AND ALL WHO HAVE FOUGHT TO DEFEND THIS NATION, THE WRONG MESSAGE. MAKE NO EXCUSES MR. PRESIDENT - WE NOW KNOW WHERE VETERANS STAND UNDER YOUR WATCH!
I guess celebrities are more important than Hero's!!:banghead:

Barack Obama may have stumbled over his words briefly during his
inauguration, but he made an even bigger blunder later Tuesday
evening. The newly sworn-in President opted not to appear at what
should have been one of the most important Balls on his agenda that
evening - "The Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball."
The Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball was begun in 1953 for President
Dwight Eisenhower's inauguration. The event recognized recipients of
the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military award. There were
48 Medal of Honor recipients in attendance, who were undoubtedly
disappointed by the new Commander-in-Chief's failure to show. Over
the past 56 years and 14 inaugurations, no President has skipped this
event - until now.
The Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball is sponsored by the American
Legion, and co-sponsored by 13 other veteran's service organizations,
including those such as the Paralyzed Veterans of America and the
Military Order of the Purple Heart.
Instead of attending this ball honoring our nation's heroes, Obama was
busy making stops at 10 other official balls. Obama and his wife's
first stop was at the Neighborhood Ball. From there they went to the
Home State Ball for Illinois and Hawaii , the Commander-in-Chief Ball,
the Youth Inaugural Ball, and the Home State Ball for Delaware and
Pennsylvania . They finished off the night with brief appearances at
the Mid-Atlantic, Western, Midwest , Eastern, and Southern regional
Balls.
Celebrities were a plenty at the balls, with Stevie Wonder, Shakira,
Mary. J. Blige, Faith Hill, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Adam Levine,
will.i.am, Sting, Mariah Carey, and Leonardo DiCaprio in attendance
at the Neighborhood Ball. In addition, the other nine balls also
featured a star-studded lineup including Kanye West and Kid Rock at
the Youth Ball, Marc Anthony at the Western Ball, and Cheryl Crow at
the Western Ball.
It was the party without all of the celebrities that Obama skipped.
The very people who he sought to have support him during his candidacy
and campaign, who have fought to protect this country, were snubbed
in favor of publicity and the opportunity to rub shoulders - yet
again - with the out-of-touch Hollywood elite!
