The Center for the Intrepid was officially opened yesterday, with headlining politicians Hillary Clinton and Sen. John McCain in attendance. Also showing support for the more than 18,000 troops injured as a result of the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq (as well as thousands others injured in various conflicts previous) were John Mellencamp, Cher, Rosie O'Donnell, Denzel Washington, Michelle Pfeiffer, music group Big & Rich, as well as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of staff- General Peter Pace....But where, oh where, was our President...or even Vice President, whom are ultimately responsible for our boys being in this lifelong predicament--who gave very near the ultimate sacrifice for our country at the behest of our Commander in Chief. Very notably absent....any explanations?
