Many Americans were disappointed in the lack of White House presence at this week’s funeral for the highest-ranking officer killed in combat since Vietnam.

Major General Harold Greene, the 2-star general killed in Afghanistan August 5, was laid to rest Thursday at Arlington National Cemetery, according to myfoxdc.com.
It was a beautiful service that was only missing one important attendee:
The President of the United States.
Also missing were the vice president and the secretary of defense.
Photos of the service, posted on the Internet from news services all over the globe, showed a riderless horse, the general’s children touching the casket and the flag presented to his widow by Army Chief of Staff General Ray Odierno.

There were no pictures of any senior administration officials, because they weren’t there.
Of course, a lot of Twitter users were outraged:

@Jarjarbug EXACTLY! And he hasn't done a thing to help get a Marine out of a Mexican jail for just getting lost on the border.

@Jarjarbug @mkues65 It truly is nauseating.

@Jarjarbug @jimtstrickland — a pressing golf date was more important to that awful example of dishonor and cowardice.

They have no respect for those unwilling to go along with the NWO agenda.
Isn’t it clear by now that Obama cares nothing for America; he’s here to bring it down.
Why in the world would a nation’s people elect a leader who hates them? Sounds counter intuitive to me.
