Hopefully, history doesn't repeat Nov. 22, 1963

I got a goofy email last week showing a photo of President Obama at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. There was a military person on each side of him saluting while Obama stood with his hands at his side.

The person who sent it my way wrote: "Picture taken at the Veterans Day ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Un freaking believable!!!! The man has no respect and no excuse."

But I have become quite accustomed to all this Obama bashing.
Way back during the 2008 election, I received an email with a column by a prominent editorial page writer for the New York Times.
Obama was accused of being a friend of Muslim extremists. The editorial just stopped short of naming him the mastermind of the 9-11 attack.

When I went to the New York Times Web site to check out the background of the columnist, I discovered that she had not written the one that had been sent to me. Somebody had just doctored it up to look like it.
When I told the person who sent me the e-mail about the lie, she replied: "Who cares? As long as it keeps him from being elected."

After that experience, I went online to see if there were any other photos of Obama at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Sure enough, there are and he is saluting.
Obviously, the photo being e-mailed around the country is a fraud.

But what's new?

Call it what it really is -- racism.

Sunday was the 46th anniversary of the assassination of JFK -- the tragic, senseless death of a president who saw wrong and tried to make it right.
i just pray history never repeats its self although some nuts out there are doing everything they can to see that it does.
