A Brief Reminder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man named Harold

The 2020 Election isn't getting much coverage these days so I thought I'd send a reminder of just how painful the Obama/Biden years were.
A Man named Harold and a president named Barack.
This summarizes how most liberals view the US military:
Harold was a bright child. He grew up in America. He went to school and had a bright future ahead of him. Harold was full of life but was cut short in a violent moment. While few people had ever heard of Harold before his death, many did afterward And in death, something very shocking happened. What was so shocking, especially when it is compared to the death of someone else recently in the news?
Harold was Harold Greene, Major General, United States Army. On Aug. 5, 2014, Major General Greene was killed by a Taliban terrorist.
He was returned to America with full military honors.
It has been a tradition that the president attends the funeral of General and Flag officers killed in the line of duty.
Richard Nixon attended the funeral of a Major General Casey killed in Vietnam and George W. Bush attended the funeral of Lieutenant General Timothy Maude, who was killed in the 9/11 attacks.
While Major General Greene was buried, Barack Obama was golfing. The Vice President wasn't there either. Neither was the Secretary of Defense.
Flags were not even lowered half-mast.
Four days after Harold Greene gave his life for America, Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson, Missouri.
Brown was at best a young thug. In the minutes before his death, he committed a robbery at a local convenience store. According to other reports, Brown struck Officer Darren Wilson and shattered his orbital bone. Obama sent a three-person delegation to Brown's funeral!
Neither Obama nor Biden would attend the funeral of the highest ranking military officer killed in the line of duty since 9/11, yet he sent a delegation to the funeral of a thug.
When Margaret Thatcher, one of America's staunchest allies and Ronald Reagan's partner in bringing down Soviet communism died, Obama sent only a small low-level delegation to her funeral. The snub was not missed by the British.
When Chris Kyle, the most lethal American sniper in history was murdered, there was no expression of sympathy from the White House.
But when Whitney Houston died from drug overdose, the Obama/Biden administration ordered all flags be flown at half-mast.
There was no White House delegation at the funeral of an American hero. American heroes die and Obama goes to the golf course.
A thug dies and he gets a White House delegation.
No wonder most "REAL" Americans hold Obama in such contempt, especially members of our Military.
And Biden is now expounding on how great the Obama/Biden administration was.
Stand up for the "Harolds" in America.

Obama’s response (or more aptly, lack of response) to the Benghazi attack is enough for me to have disdain for his concern for America’s heroes. I don’t need Snopes to verify that he did nothing to support our people who were under attack. Of course, what difference at this point does it make? My blood still boils when I see tapes of Hillary saying that.

Amen EC !!!

He also didn't make an appearance or send anyone to be at Chris Kyle's funeral (which in my opinion was bad} … Kyle is the most successful sniper in US military history that saved a lot of American soldiers lives. At the very least he could have sent someone. Not only that but he didn't even mention Kyle's name during his State of the Union Address !!!

I know he wasn't in active duty but he was a hero !!! Thank goodness the people of Texas and others came out in droves and honored him all along the way from Dallas to Austin.

I was never a fan of Obama. I never voted for him.

However,I just don’t see the point in making up “facts” against him or anyone else and presenting them in circulating e-mails. I know ukcatfan only passed this on and I am I’m not making accusations against him or anyone else. It is well documented this one is completely false by numerous sources.

I received this several months back. I check out “facts” received by conservative and liberal friends alike. On a rare occasion there may even be a grain of truth in them.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I like to think conservatives are better than making up pure BS and passing it on as factual.

HC, I agree that the bogus emails and FB messages are uncalled for. Like I said, Obama did enough real damage to our nation that we don’t need to make stuff up.
