Major General Harold Greene is the highest-ranking officer to fall in combat since Vietnam. The 2-star general was killed in Afghanistan on August 5 and was laid to rest earlier this year at Arlington National Cemetery.
President Obama was too busy golfing at Vineyard Golf Club with elites, such as the World Bank President, to attend. VP Biden was too busy vacationing at the Hamptons to show up.
Not only did Obama not attend, he made no public comment, like he did with Robin Williams, or even order flags to be flown half mast, which he did for Whitney Houston and Nelson Mandela.

sounds like we have a very disrespectful government !
and he is sending representatives to the brow funeral..
What a dick!
“Just to summarize the facts in this convoluted affair: Hagel did attend the Greene funeral. Obama and Biden did not. Nixon did not attend the Dillard funeral, and Bush did not attend the Maude funeral. There is no “tradition” of presidential attendance at generals’ funerals that Obama “bucked.” ” http://washingtonexaminer.com/twitter-obama-and-the-gen.-harold-greene-funeral-hoax/article/2552095
And Pamela Rich, you’re very wrong. The whole point of our command structure is that it’s in the hands of civilians, not the military. Serving in the armed forces is not, and should not be, a requirement for being president.
Is it 2016 yet?
People continue to hit the Bush button and then they throw in Reagan. Living in the past is being blind to what is happening NOW in a failed administration of Hope and Change bull c**p so many fell for and still are falling for it.
POS!
PLAYING GOLF WAS MORE IMPORTANT. WHAT AN ASSH*LE!!
Obama and his muslim brotherhood administration should be strung up on ropes. This is shameful and another slap in the face to America, the military and our veterans. How much more of this BS are we going to allow?? If we don’t win the Senate back in 2014 and the Presidency in 2016, you better be ready to take to the streets and go to war!!!
