Camp LeJeune, NC -- President Barack Obama did NOT come out on stage for the singing of the National Anthem at his Camp LeJeune speech given at 12:00 Noon today.
The Marine Corps Band played "Ruffles and Flourishes" but Obama did not come out. The Secretary of Defense, Marine Corps Generals and a Navy Admiral came out. The Marine Corps Chaplain came out and said a Prayer.
A lone female sang the National Anthem and after it was sung, the Marine Corps Band again played "Ruffles and Flourishes," a speaker introduced the President and only then did the Band play "Hail to the Chief" and did President Obama come out.
This struck me as very odd. Why did the President not come out for the prayer? Why did the President not come out for the National Anthem?
This was no mistake. This was a slap in the face by the President, to the entire nation and it did not go unnoticed.
