President Obama injured during 9/11 memorial service

Posted 05 May 2011 in 2012 election, 9/11, Barack Obama

Although he didn’t require medical attention, I think the President might have hurt his arm from patting himself on the back today.

Solemnly honoring victims of the Sept. 11 terror attacks, President Barack Obama hugged survivors, thanked the heroes of one of the nation’s darkest days and declared Thursday that the killing of Osama bin Laden after all these years was an American message to the world: “When we say we will never forget, we mean what we say.”
[…]
For Obama, the day was about the importance of being in New York in the aftermath of the successful raid to find and kill bin Laden, the al-Qaida leader. Obama addressed families who have watched and wondered for nearly a decade whether the government would track down its most infamous enemy.

On this special ground, Obama never mentioned bin Laden’s name.
[…]
Obama invited Bush to join him Thursday in New York, but the former president declined.

That’s about all the space I’ll waste on this, because that’s about all this Obama campaign photo-op deserves. Granted, today’s memorial at Ground Zero may well be an appropriate move toward closure for some folks, but after years of narcissistic self-aggrandizement by Team Obama and the rest of the lamestream media, I’m very jaded and more than a bit wary of the politicization we’ll probably see from the Obama 2012 campaign.

That said, I’ll give him credit for this much: at least the President didn’t cheapen a somber moment with another speech marked by excessive use of the personal pronoun.


UPDATE: Lest you think I’m being unnecessarily harsh on President Obama, Jim Treacher noticed that someone (either the Obama campaign or some drooling fan) bought the domain http://gutsycall.com and made it redirect back to the existing “Obama for America” site. Puh-leeze!
