President Obama sends wreath to Arlington Confederate Monument...


President Obama sends wreath to Arlington Confederate Monument:

From ABC News:

"Despite an appeal for him to end a presidential tradition dating back to Woodrow Wilson, President Barack Obama sent a Memorial Day wreath to the Confederate Monument at Arlington Cemetery. But he also sent a wreath to a monument honoring African-American soldiers who fought in the Civil War.

In his remarks, Obama did refer to that decision, but he did note that soldiers from both sides of the Civil War were laid to rest there.

"Not far from here, appropriately just across a bridge connecting Lincoln to Lee, Union and Confederate soldiers share the same land in perpetuity," he said. "

I do not agree with the President Politically, but I would like to say Thank You for continuing a tradition that has been followed since President Woodrow Wilson.

I do not have a problem with him sending a wreath to honor Black Union soldiers, and that's the difference between "Us" and the "Neo-Liberal, Socialists Marxist" like Sebesta, Loewen, and yes McPherson, who has finally, after years, shown his true colors.

Sebesta and Loewen say they'll try again next year with 500 signatures, go ahead, we'll have 5000 urging him to continue sending a wreath to the Confederate Monument at Arlington.
