Another winner of the military's top award, Thomas Norris, also was turned away because he was not previously cleared for the tour.
Unbelievable :mad: the inmates are running the asylum :mad:

Whodathunkit, Thomas Norris, a retired FBI agent and Medal of Honor winner, denied entry into the White House, yet Hatem Abudayyeh, who is under investigation for providing material support to Hamas, gets full access...

Screw those criminals in the WH. The kid and his family don't need to associate with such low class cowards. :mad:

It is too bad they did not publish the name of the offending WH aide. Who is supposed to be training these folks? The White House and every building and office there belong to the citizens of this country. The people in them are only tenants! They need to be reminded of that.

Well . . . to the funeral of the last African American Medal of Honor recipient (and beloved Grandfather) . . . woulda been nice instead of shorts and tennies (I'll give momma or grandma some points for at least getting him a tie).

Could we get a GRIP? I'm all for bashing the Nobel Peace Prize winner when it's deserved but WTF? Was Vernon Sr re-incarnated in the little boy?
Little Vernon doesn't rate an exception to the rules . . . probably Grandpa would have rated one but I'll bet MOH Vernon owned a freakin polo shirt. FCOL Little Dude owes a suit! (and if I croak, he better be in it.) Note to WH staff: Fancy-smancy restaurants have loaner jackets and ties -- get some.

You're tryin to hard. (Reminds me reports of all those foreign leaders who were refusing to shake POTUS' hand) And btw POTUS ain't spelled SOB. Vote him out if you want, but at least show some respect for the office.

Goof off for a week, come back have 3 pages of new posts to plow through and I find this. You guys (and gals) sound like the script writers for the Colbert Report.

Well, I guess he could have worn one of those t-shirts with a tuxedo printed on it.:D

Outrageous. I have it on good authority that you can buy Che Guevara T shirts in the WH gift shop.;)

This WH is worse than the clinton admin. (NO...I won't Cap the names. ) barry makes the clinton admin look like he almost gave a damn about this Country. obarry despises it. At least while it is not in his image. (Political posturing)

Two images come to mind, above having to live through his crap. The 50th anniversary of D-day. While billy the zipper was walking the beach. A battle ship positioned out on the horizon. (Wonder who ordered that ship to be there for that photo op????) I'll be damned if bubba doesn`t come across a small pile of WHITE stones (it's a contrast thing). Stones that didn`t exist on that beach then or now. So for the sheeple, he squats and makes a Cross for the fallen. Of course they buy it...

Ok. Tired of typing, I`ll kind of breeze through his visit to the DMZ between north and South Korea, looking through binoculars. Thing is he never took off the lens covers. But.... hey. he cared.....

For those of you are young and/or haven`t seen this thread...check it out.....

Former President Bush
 
Are we all sure that if former President Bush was in charge "this would never have happened"?

He would have trained all of the Aides himself? It's a failure at many levels but does it really rate blame on the current President? Should I ask more rhetorical questions to point out how wild some of this thread's comments are? :munchin

Who are you to dictate what is "wild " or inappropriate to post here? You are a guest, act accordingly. If you do not agree with comments then say so, but your rhetorical questions only demonstrate your inability to communicate your true intent. Your lacking in SA, and walking blindly into a mine field.

I look forward to reading your answer to question number 1.

Dozer,

Your points are well taken,but I believe that the medal they wore around their necks gave them preference to whatever they wished to wear during their attempted visit.......:confused: No disrespect to you,but I'm sure if you had an "MOH" and they refused to let you and little dude in,you would have been pissed also.........:mad: Be honest..........:(
