Just on the 10:30 radio news: Republican criticize Obama for no Parade for the Troops from Iraq [View all]

I know this is like complaining about it getting dark @ night, snow being cold, or water being
wet but good God in butter am I sick of these assholes because if Obama had scheduled a
big ticker tape parade for the returning troops "they" would have complained the, "Obama is
just trying to suck up some of the reflected glory from the Iraqi war heros."

I tried to see if there were any online sources of this story but I could only find Fox News
and hated to post a link from them although in their story the White House said that w/ the
war going on in Afghanistan a big parade didn't seem appropriate.

The lied to start an unneeded war and now they are bitching that President Obama finally
put a stop to it.
