Dancing the Right away...
The Right to do or Be somthing is often based most strongly in the moral authority granted to one person by others.
The POTUS is, by Constitutional Authority, the Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Forces... but the new CnC - the Chicagoan in Chief - has proven he does not have the Moral Authority for the Job.
For the first time in 56 years since President Dwight D. Eisenhower set the precedent at HIS inaguration, the New Guy declined to even put in an appearance at the quadrennial "Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball" - held on the night of the Inauguration.
In 2005 President Bush and VP Cheney began the round of Inaugural Balls at the Salute to Heroes Ball - and made a special point of explaining why it was traditional to start the round of balls by saluting the remaining MoH recipients.
14 Inaugurations have passed and ten Presidents from both Political Parties have made it a point to attend this gathering of Medal of Honor recipients... except for this one... and the news went Viral.
It seems that the Mainstream Media and the Moonbat Left Blogosphere were so desperate to hide this snub from the public that the Media spiked it and the lefties
tried to quash the reports by claiming the ball didn't happen.
Maybe it's just me, but if an Inagural Ball that has been on every President's itenerary since 1953 suddenly up and dissappeared - or merged with another ball - I would think it would make News beforehand. It most certainly would have afterward if that would have, in fact, been able to get the Thetans off Barry's back so he could be Clear.
No, the Salute our Heroes Inaugural Ball happened. The Chicagoan In Chief simply didn't think the invite, or the MoH recipients in attendence, were worth his time. He needed to hobnob with Hollyweird Stars.
This was the 50th anniversary of the Medal of Honor Society. This event was one of the signature events of the year, as it is every 4 years. And The Chicagoan In Chief skipped it.
There are 104 living recipients of the MoH.
47 were at the Ball.
Out of the 104, those 47 are basically 100% of those healthy enough to make the trip to ANY event- youngest living is 58, the oldest is over 100. Within BHO’s time of administration, we will lose 40% of these heroes living today.
And on Day One, this CnC lost his Moral Authority by snubbing them.
