Glenn Beck told his minions this week that that the president "has decided not to honor our troops on Memorial Day," which isn't even close to true. The deranged media personality, apparently referring to Obama's decision not to be at Arlington, added, "Maybe this has happened before. I don't recall it. "
In reality, this isn't especially unusual.

If I recall, Bush didn't start doing it until we invaded Iraq (the 'stan never gets any love!)
In my opinion it would be nice to see the President at Arlington on Memorial Day, especially when we're in two wars, but there ARE multiple national cemetaries and as long as he's at one I guess it's not so bad.
