Let us see: on Memorial Day the President and wife will host a breakfast for Gold Star families.

From the link:

"Later in the morning, the President and First Lady will visit Arlington National Cemetery where the President will participate in a wreath laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknowns. This event is open to pre-credentialed media.

Following the wreath laying ceremony, the President will participate in the Memorial Day Service at the Memorial Amphitheater at Arlington National Cemetery. U.S. Army Military District of Washington Command Chaplain (Colonel) Steve Berry, will deliver the invocation, followed by remarks from Admiral Mike Mullen, Secretary Robert Gates and President Obama. The First Lady will also attend. This event is open to pre-credentialed media."

I mean you are right that the POTUS will be doing something for Memorial Day 2012 but at least get the year correct when you link.

Romney's Memorial Day activities are "not available."

Yeah - actually they did - it's called freedom. You take advantage of this on a daily basis - especially the one-liners and the petty questions.

Which takes us back to some rather wise words here...

Should be like this for all in government.

I haven't been posting much lately - maybe I'm rusty, but I don't get your point.

I didn't make a point. I simply re-directed you to one you made a few minutes ago to let you shine through. May be I should have added a question... why must "Real Americans" lie?

As for "freedom", and in this case, media-related freedom you can support it with this acknowledgement...
