Obama Sees Dead People

I remember singing at a cemetary some years ago (they were sponsoring a gospel concert on their grounds) and I commented that it was the first time I'd ever sung where there were more people in the crowd laying down than sitting up. However, I didn't see any dead people as Barack Obama apparently did yesterday.

This quote from yesterday's Memorial Day speech by Barack Obama:

On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.

Barack Obama, for all his eloquence, has proven to be a gaffe machine when he goes off teleprompter. Both Powerline and Michelle Malkin have running features on Obama's various verbal boo-boos.

As Hot Air points out, the Obama campaign seems to have a false understanding of the Memorial Day holiday:

For most Americans, Memorial Day is a day to honor our nation’s war dead. However, the Obama team has re-imagined the holiday, as made clear in this comment responding to an attack from John McCain: ...

Obama’s camp declined to hit back, with spokesman Bill Burton saying “Memorial Day is a day to honor our nation’s veterans, not a day for political posturing.”

Actually, we call that Veteran's Day and it comes in November. If Obama wants to be the president somebody needs to school him on the difference.
