Obama Missing Historic Boy Scout Jamboree for Fundraisers, 'View' Taping

So, according to the article, Bush and Clinton did NOT appear at the jamboree during their first term, and now that Obama is not, it is newsworthy.

 

Damn right, I know Obama's not making a statement here but I'm fine with him not addressing those flaming douchebags regardless.

 

I suspect the 'news worthy' item is that it is their 100th anniversary.

 

edit:

 

no I don't, the messed up thing is that we are eventually moving out of this office and I won't get to see it completed

the building next to discovery green is pretty cool looking to and supposed be environmentally friendly

 

Scouting is not what it used to be imho, but considering it's the 100th anniversary he probably should make an appearance.

But personally, thinking back when I was in Scouts and how old I was, I'd be more floored to see Hakeem than a president.

 

Exactly! Those who really would care deeply about this would be the parents/adults. Even then, it would only be those among the adults who share similar political ideologies...

I'd have sold my soul to meet Hakeem in the glory days!

 

"historic boy scout jamboree"

Really? Is that from The Onion?

Wow, I don't understand the desperation of the right. He's done plenty of stuff for you to whine about.

 

Just like Obama... neglecting patriotic American kids and apologizing to our enemies.

 

My company might be if it's done soon enough (next summer).

 

Thank you, Cheetah. I now have a new desktop wallpaper for work.

Exactly.

It would be idiotic when "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" is finally up for reversal to have the president cater to the d------s running the Boy Scouts, who as recently as a few years ago were trotting out the homosexuals=child molesters canard as legal argument. Screw the Boy Scouts of America.

 

It makes sense, most boy scouts won't be of voting age next election, but most people who watch the View will.

 

f*** the boy scouts and their government mooching, anti-atheist, anti-homosexual agenda.

 

**** you boy scouts are awesome

 

Boy scouts? Really?

:grin:

This is all you Repubs got?

He won't be there for the Boy Scouts?

:grin:

Rich

 

Enemies huh?

Orcs I presume... Black and White, but no gray.

Evil, Right?

 

Is this a fact or are you just guessing?

Honestly I doubt it would have even been newsworthy is he had attended the event unless he gave a partisan speech.

Anyway, I watched Sin City last night on my awesome television. It was awesome. Jessica Alba has a nice figure.

 

Understatement of the century.

 

I was a boy scout

Also, I wish I took the time to finish up getting eagle scout. I was pretty damn close. I realize the anti-athiest, and anti-gay stuff is pretty objectionable but that really depends on the troop you were in. I was in a very very small group and never felt any religious pressure (despite being hindu).

Bigger than any religious issues was food. I wasnt vegetarian at the time like I am now, but it would've been a nightmare (actually it wouldve been impossible) to be a vegetarian in the boy scouts.

 

Don't really have a problem with the anti-atheist part. They're probably anti- (insert extremely small portion of the population here) too, but I don't think it's a big deal. The anti-gay stuff is higher on the priority list I would think.
