No accident that Obama was out of the country on veterans day

Veteran's Day - do you know where your president is?

With his feeble flame of "hope" thoroughly doused here in the United States by last week's elections, President Obama has set out around the globe in search of throngs still enthralled by his flowery rhetoric. He found them, of course, in Indonesia this week by telling them about how Americans must stop mistrusting Islam.

So that is why your president is halfway around the world instead of being here in the United States to celebrate the sacrifices American soldiers, sailors and airmen have made around the world to keep the real, still-burning flame of freedom alive.

Obama honored our veterans from afar by laying a wreath during a ceremony at an Army base in South Korea last night. 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. This aloofness of his really is becoming a problem.

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.

A school district in southern Michigan is stopping a longstanding practice of allowing the Gideons to distribute Bibles in the hallways of its elementary school after a parent complained to the district's superintendent.

Jonesville Community Schools will no longer allow Bibles to be made accessible at a table in Williams Elementary School.

Superintendent Mike Potts told The Christian Post on Tuesday that the district is not taking a stand on whether Bibles are right or wrong but simply following regulations as a government agency.

"We cannot condone the passing any literature of that nature regardless of who's passing it out," said Potts.

For many years, the Gideons had been allowed to set up a table in the school hallway and allow students to pick up the Bibles, according to Potts. The latest distribution occurred on Wednesday and by Friday, Potts had made the decision to end the practice after consulting with the district's attorney.

"Had I been aware of the practice it would have stopped sooner," Potts said.
