For 42 years in a row, all during the presidencies of three Democrats (Lyndon Johnson; Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton) and through the presidencies of three Republicans (Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush,) the United States Air Force sent planes to fly over the God and Country Family Festival in Idaho.  

Yet, Barack Obama's Air Force will not allow planes to fly over the God and Family Festival in Idaho this year.  This is the president  --  who sat in the pews of a radically anti-American pastor in Chicago for almost two decades  --  who has been to a Sunday church service in Washington D.C. less than a handful of times since he became president.  This is the president who when he was candidate made fun of the voters in Pennsylvania accusing them of "cling (ing) to guns or religion" and thus "they get bitter."   

Michelle Obama's similar distain for America was shown in her remark after her husband won the Democrat nomination last summer when she said, "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country."  And this is the country which gave the Obamas incredible opportunities.   

Laura Ingraham said tonight on Bill O'Reilly's show regarding Obama's apparent distain for people of faith that to the Obamas, faith seems "not about Christ and nor about salvation."  Paraphrasing Ingraham:  "It's about managing the politics of religion."   

According to today's "Idaho Press-Tribune," Canyon County Commissioner David Ferdinand, the festival's media contact, said the denial by the Air Force was based on an overly narrow interpretation of what the festival stands for.  Commissioner Ferdinand said:  "They just looked at that one thing. They didn't check into the rest of what happens at the God and Country Festival.   

"We spend at least an hour saluting the military every year. ... If they had asked the right questions, they would have gotten the right answers. That's my feeling, because we honor the military."  He also noted that more than 70 new recruits from multiple branches were sworn in as part of the festival this year.   

Thankfully, a lot of the American people are beginning to wake up to the fact that they made a huge mistake electing the most left-wing candidate in American history who is now governing by catering to the left-wing fringe of the Democrat Party.  Indeed, in a poll this week, less than a majority of the citizens in Ohio  --  a state which went for Obama  --  approve of Obama.    Some experts say Obama's unemployment rate will reach 11%.   Even Obama administration officials predict a 10% unemployment rate.  And yet, during the first weeks of his administration, Obama said that if his one trillion (with interest) dollar stimulus legislation did not pass, the unemployment rate would go above 8%.  It is now 9.5%.  

And where are the principled general officers to publicly protest because of Obama's manipulation of the American military.  And where are the resignations?  Why hasn't the Air Force Chief of Staff stood up for his airmen who undoubtedly and overwhelmingly support such fly-overs during patriotic events.   

The last time a prominent general officer spoke out against such inane policies was in 1977, during the administration of the last extreme left-wing president, Jimmy Carter.  General John K.Singlaub, when he was chief of staff of the American military forces in South Korea, upbraided Jimmy Carter for withdrawing U.S. troops from the Korean peninsula.  And Jimmy Carter fired him, giving General Singlaub hero status in America.  

However, even Jimmy Carter should get some credit with regards to the American military.  At least  --  unlike Barack Obama  --  Carter allowed the U.S. Air Force to fly over the God and Country Family Festival in Idaho.  Left-wing Jimmy Carter was a one-term president and it looks as if our current one will also be a one-termer.  The American people are getting fed up with his socialism, his distain for our military, and his anti-people-of-faith policies.
