I'm so glad that the Teleprompter Jesus has his priorities straight.
Obama Missing Historic Boy Scout Jamboree for Fundraisers, 'View' Taping President Obama will make history as the first sitting president on a daytime talk show when he visits with the ladies of "The View." But he'll be missing out on another historic occasion -- the Boy Scouts' Jamboree marking the group's 100th anniversary, right in the president's backyard.
The Jamboree kicked off this week at Fort A.P. Hill in Virginia, where organizers had invited the president to speak to the 45,000 scouts in attendance. All three of Obama's predecessors have made it to one Jamboree while in office.
Yup. It's only the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts. That's not worth interrupting a taping of "The View", let alone a fundraiser. Yeah, I'm a little bitter here, being a Cubmaster and all - it's quite disheartening to hear that one of the oldest institutions for helping to mold young men takes a back seat to fundraisers and leftist television. I'm also equally certain that the coverage would be just as fair and evenhanded had President Bush snubbed the Girl Scouts. No, seriously, stop laughing...
The Boy Scouts only hold their Jamboree once every four years; let's hope Øbama is unable to attend the next one - because he's out of office...
That is all.

Come on Jay, The Boy Scouts represent everything Obama is fighting against. They love their country, they teach boys to be good men and self reliant. Obama hates all they stand for. . . why would he go talk to them?
Hate to say I am not surprised at all he is passing it up for "the View"
You know, Øbama made me do something I never thought possible:
I miss Bill Clinton.
I mean, sure, the man hates America as much as the next hairshirt wearing leftist, but at least he knows when to fake it...
Obama hates the Boy Scouts. They advocate thriftiness, self-reliance and faith in God.
It's a very un-Dem organization.
Screw him. Face it: would you trust him around kids, anyway?
Bush was supposed to hit up the Jambo when I was there in 2002. A family friend was on the staff there, and had the ability to get me in to meet him, but something came up and El Prez didn't make it. Whatever your thoughts were on the guy, it still would have been neat to meet him. Bummer.
I hope there is some backlash from this..
It's amazing how disconnected I've become from the Scouts, I used to be extremely heavily involved. It never even occurred to me that it was the 100th Anniversary. I have to keep an eye out next year, my home troop was founded in 1911 (Troop 3, Bucks County Council #777!). I need to get myself re-involved one of these days...
Actually, he's probably doing the best thing for the scouts. It wouldn't really be in their best interests to be so exposed to this particular president, after all. It might give them the idea that he is what a President is really supposed to be.
I don't have a dog in this fight , but personally I would consider an 0bama attendance as a desecration of the core values that the Jamboree celebrates .
Honestly? If my boys were at the Jamboree, and the current president came to speak, I'd probably find them something else to while he was there.
I would chose not to expose my children to such as him.
If it's not all about him why would he bother showing up?
Self-reliance and teleprompter do not mix well.
The Boy Scout Oath must affect The O as does a crucifix or Holy Water a vampire.

You've forgotten your tried-and-true leftist trope about how Boy Scouts hate Teh Gays. Did you really expect Obama to attend?
Well, Øbama doesn't exactly lurve him some gheys either - how's that DADT end coming, again?
The big story will be if any of the gals on the set will be able to abstain from professing their love for him.
Odds of Behar actually achieving orgasm at his sighting: 2/5.
