Thanks to everyone who sent feedback about this week’s column, “Memo to Glenn Beck and Fox News Media Mogul Rupert Murdoch.” In it I mentioned that President Obama was giving Memorial Day remarks at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood, Illinois after Mr. Beck and others on Fox News (and elsewhere) asserted that President Obama was skipping the Arlington National Cemetery observance at the Tomb of the Unknowns in favor of a “vacation.”
If you didn’t see how Mr. Obama did, in fact, spend Memorial Day — not on vacation — check this video which shows him at the podium in a driving thunderstorm at the Lincoln cemetery. You can read an account by Frank James at NPR.org (Here). It kinda looks like most of my vacations.
