Election Year Means Obama Has Time for VFW
By Daniel Halper, The
Blog - July 23, 2012
President Obama will be traveling today from San Francisco,
California to Reno, Nevada to "take part in an official event where he
will deliver remarks at the 113th National Convention of the VFW,"� according to the White House.
But last year, in
2011, when President Obama and Vice President Biden were not running for
reelection, the Obama administration sent only the deputy secretary for veteran
affairs to speak with the veterans group. Neither Obama nor Biden attended the
annual meeting.
"An insult
of the highest magnitude,"�
was how the VFW national commander, Richard Eubank, described the Obama
administration snub last year.
But Obama and
Biden were busy. Instead of attending VFW last year, they were vacationing and
fundraising.
