Do as I say. Not as I do.

Lets face it Obama will never be given credit for being the Commander in Chief.
If he doesn't wrap himself in the flag on D-Day day, then he isn't a patriot.
If he does celebrate the 4th then he is pretending and playing politics.
He kills Bin Laden and it was a "no brainer" and all he did was give an order.

Lets compare to "W".
He in 8 years he acknowledged D-Day only 2 times.
He made big issues of the 4th. You would have thought he signed the Declaration of Independence himself.
He kills 4000 American soliders but not Bin Laden.

It makes me want to scream.

a WWII vet getting Pearl Harbor day wrong right away. Bush went blithely on for a while until the murmuring of the crowd clued him in that he had screwed up.

On edit - The other wonderful part was he "over corrected" and used the correct date several times later on in the speech and was rewarded with some derisive laughter. Obama cool he wasn't.
