Boy Scouts Don’t Vote

I read a while ago that President Obama is foregoing giving a speech at the Boy Scout’s 100th Jamboree and was puzzled.

Fox News: President Obama will make history as the first sitting president on a daytime talk show

when he visits with the ladies of “The View.” But he’ll be missing out on another historic occasion — the Boy Scouts’ Jamboree marking the group’s 100th anniversary, right in the president’s backyard.

The Jamboree kicked off this week at Fort A.P. Hill in Virginia, where organizers had invited the president to speak to the 45,000 scouts in attendance. All three of Obama’s predecessors have made it to one Jamboree while in office.

But the president will instead be traveling Wednesday to New York for a taping of the ABC show, as well as Democratic fundraisers and a stop in New Jersey. The talk show appearance comes as campaign season moves into full swing, but also amid efforts to cap the Gulf oil spill for good, contain the damage from an unprecedented leak of Afghanistan war documents and battle Arizona over its immigration law — set to go into effect Thursday. Obama also has an out-of-town event planned for Friday in Detroit.

Couldn’t he have re-scheduled the appearance on The View? His people said it’s not the appearance on The View causing him to dis the Boy Scouts, it’s the campaign events. But still, couldn’t those have been rescheduled also? It’s not like every day the Boy Scouts celebrate their 100th anniversary. Then it dawned on me, Boys Scouts can’t vote. So Obama has no time for them. For him, it’s all about retaining power. But hey, he’ll be there in spirit and a pre-taped speech (probably off the old teleprompter) will be aired for their enjoyment.

Sorry kids, the President isn’t that into you. Maybe I’m wrong. Who knows, maybe he just feels guilty about the debt he’s saddling you with and can’t face you. Whatever the reason, we know where his priorities lie.

    “Boy Scouts Don’t Vote” that about covers it…we also know how much the Gay Gestapo hates the scouts and they’d be climbing up his backside for months if he did attend.

    I think it’s far more important that he kiss Whoopi Goldberg Baba Wawa’s tired a** es than the scouts don’t you? (sarc off) ;)

    I bet BHO would attend if the Boy Scouts had a merit badges for Community Organization, Women’s Studies, Cultural and Ethnic Sensitivity.

    Another teaching moment for American youth. Really shows his priorities.

    What a fortunate group of young men, they didn’t have to listen to the liar try to butter their buts for some interminable length of time with warm and fuzzy platitudes. We should be happy for them.

    Real the “Boy scouts Jamboree”, real? Are you saying he disrespect our boys in uniform?, please. Or is he more focused on speaking to adults (The View) about what he is doing to repair our nation (those boys can’t vote, you know). And so you know (or take a look yourself) Twelve other presidents have skipped the Jamboree, including Ronald Reagan (he missed all of them), Gerald Ford, Richard Nixon and yes even Dwight D. Eisenhower, among others, so, honestly, who cares, I don’t.

      Or is he more focused on speaking to adults (The View)

      There’s adults on the view? I always thought it was a studio camera trained on cackling hens…..you know- like that owl cam, only with a studio audience.

      what he is doing to repair our nation (those boys can’t vote, you know).

      Good point. What IS he doing to ‘repair’ our nation? Under Barry the lightworker, the American dream is always just one more onerous tax, regulation or entitlement program away, isn’t it?

      so, honestly, who cares, I don’t.

      Good for you- do you want a gold star or the Profiles in Internet Courage write-up?

      You don’t care SO MUCH so that you wrote a juvenile, petulant screed in the middle of the night on a week-old post to show your cool-as-a-cucumber indifference. Start a-quakin’, Lonely Conservative regulars!! And look out, Mr Dos Equis beer spokesman Mr. Most Interesting Man in the World- you have some competition and his/her/its name is ‘Montana’…..only the ‘N’ has a tilde (~) to go with it to match that funky, mellow, flamenco style acoustic guitar riff that always plays when he/she/it speaks…..

    FN: I am glad Ronald Reagan is on my side not yours.

    Please let me know how you feel about John Ensign (R-NV) or Scott Brown (R-MA), pray tell.

    I thought Republicans were about taking responsibility, come on it is time to be a man and take responsibility of what your party did to our nation through back door deals and alright theft. They only protect corporate interest (foreign or domestic) and the few rich. Are you surprised that “Fake News” majority interest is Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal who has publicly acknowledged that he has forced Fox News to edit its coverage he disliked, conservative activists have attacked the business partnership as “really dangerous for America.” So when our Supreme Court allowed any corporation (foreign or domestic) to influence elections through unlimited funding well there you have it, Republicans win, our country will lose.

    Future (Incase you bring it up):

    Palin……Wow, Reporter, Politician, Comedian, Commentator, Grizzly Mama, “Jack of all trades, master of none”. Palin is a fool and we all make fun of them don’t we, that’s why she went to “Fake News”, duh!”.

      If you listen real close, you can hear the sound of the North American spotted ‘I don’t give a damn’ in it’s natural habitat.

      I’m glad you’re on your side, not mine, World’s least coherent Most Interesting Poster.

      Damn shame about all those bad ol’ corporations like BP, Goldman Sachs, GE, Google, JP Morgan that gave money to the 0bama campaign. Or does that not get any readings on your frothy sanctimonious indignation-o-meter because the bad ol’ corporations saw the lightworker?
