This article has me seeing red!


Junior high students place garbage in 9/11 memorial

My wife and I had been running errands this afternoon and I read the above article when I sat down to catch my breath after we got home. According to the blog, written by George Mathis of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, a group of junior high school students were on a summer field trip to the 9/11 memorial when they "tossed garbage" into the reflecting pool. That in its self was bad enough, but some of the respondents to the blog attempted to say that President Obama was responsible for the children's actions.  It seems like those who don't like the president will go to any extreme to place blame upon him, but these comments bordered on the ridiculous. I think my favorite comment - and one that was very appropriate - was made by a U.S. Marine returning from two (2) tours in Afghanistan, he suggested that they be sent for a two-week "vacation" at Paris Island. OORAH!

Until next time . . .
