by A great post at MArooned: Something To Be Proud Of… on Obama having to choose between The View over the Boy Scouts.
Jay at MArooned hit it on the head especially on the rage meter.
The View or the Boy Scout National Jamboree at Ft. A.P. Hill? Hmm.
Well, we know which one Obama chose as ABC is running ads touting his appearance on The View. Besides, those Boy Scouts are meeting on an icky military base!
I haven’t been active in Scouting for 35 years. That said, I was an Eagle Scout (bronze palm) and a Brotherhood member of the Order of the Arrow (Tali Tak Taki 70) and I still remember the Scout Law.
Boy Scout Law
A Scout is:
Trustworthy,
Loyal,
Helpful,
Friendly,
Courteous,
Kind,
Obedient,
Cheerful,
Thrifty,
Brave,
Clean,
and Reverent.
In my not so humble opinion, the first of the Scout Laws trips up Obama almost instantly. As to the Scout Motto, Be Prepared, well after his handling of the Deepwater Horizon oil debacle, I guess he can forget that one as well.
Fort A. P. Hill is also named after a Confederate general, which might give him pause.
But then again so is Ft. Bragg where Obama goes when he wants to give a speech to make him look tough.
