Thanks for the update. Everyone should consider this line:

“The new President’s absence was understandable considering the unprecedented logistical challenges presented by the vastly increased number of visitors to this inauguration and the necessary attendant security measures. The American Legion, as an organization, does not feel offended or “snubbed.””

Also, President Obama has a lot on his plate: economic downturn, two foreign wars, unemployment and so forth. Skipping a party to get to get straight to work probably isn’t the worst thing in the world.

No. Everyone should consider that the numbers were not vastly increased. They were far below the estimate. So stop with that excuse. As for your second paragraph, I hope you forgot your sarc tag.
