Obama honored our veterans from afar by laying a wreath during a ceremony at an Army base in South Korea . . .Click here to read the complete column.
That is a distance from here matched only by the chasm that has opened up between him and the voters who elected him two years ago.

Not that Obama doesn't appreciate the sacrifices of veterans. He absolutely does. Just ask the Indonesians.
He was in Jakarta for their Heroes Day this week to honor their veterans "who have sacrificed on behalf of this great country."
"This great country," of course, being Indonesia.
