The Bataan Memorial Death March is this Sunday (3/30)... |
|
Perhaps Obama would like to retract his ill-advised reference?? Read about the March and what it means to NM, in particular, here: http://insightanalytical.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/bill-richardson-should-have-told-obama-about-the-bataan-death-march/

I did not know about this. We have a family member who was a Bataan Death March survivor and a POW. He was my husband's uncle, on his mother's side.
He came home and was a veterinarian in California for years and years. He died in December of 2004, just days short of his 92nd birthday.
I don't think he would like Obama much.
RIP Dr. Herbert Ott, Captain Med. Dept. Veterinary Corps.

He is obviously a traitor, and for THAT I'm not voting for Rev. Wright.

8. I come from four generations of men who have served |
|
this country with distinction. My Great Great Grandfather served with the Texas Rangers and then in the Rebel Army. I have an uncle who is MIA in Korea to this day. My father was with the combat engineers at the Chosin Reservoir. I did my year in the Army, as a volunteer, in Vietnam.
I know about how men suffer during wartime. Choose another reason to hate Obama. Your prejudice is showing.
How many other people have you heard use that very phrase to describe a situation in their lives?? Do you hate them as well??

4. He said 'remember the alamo, too' |

Maybe you need to publish a list of prohibited statements and comparisons.

5. That's not the point. It was a very insensitive comment...maybe he |

knows the phrase "Bataan Death March" but doesn't know the history. If that's the case, it's not a good thing. Bush didn't know much history either...
Your response is also insensitive and disrespectful.
Or didn't you read the history that was posted?

7. I think maybe you're a little too sensitive. |
|
Think of all the reasons to hate Obama. You could find a better one if you really looked. People say boneheaded things all the time. Watch this:
Q How many Vietnam Veterans does it take to put in a light bulb??
A. Four. One to put in the light bulb and three others to claim PTSD over it.
See??
