(01-12) 02:02 PST WASHINGTON, (AP) -- President Barack Obama and the first lady travel to Tucson, Ariz., this afternoon to take part in the memorial service for victims of Saturday's mass shooting. The president will speak at the University of Arizona, Tucson, at an event called "Together We Thrive: Tucson and America." Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano will also be there. The first couple will arrive back in Washington early Thursday. Before leaving for Tucson, Obama meets in the Oval Office with Lebanon's Prime Minister Saad Hariri (sahd hah-REER'-ee). They'll talk about regional issues, including Lebanon's sovereignty, independence and stability. Lebanon is seen as an important partner in America's efforts in the Middle East. WTC Flag To Be Displayed At Girl's Ariz. Funeral (01-12) 06:25 PST PHOENIX (AP) -- A U.S. flag that flew atop the World Trade Center is on its way to Arizona to be displayed at the funeral of the girl killed in Saturday's shooting spree who was born on 9/11. The Arizona Republic reports the 20-by-30-foot flag was the largest to have survived the collapse of the twin towers. Nine-year-old Christina Taylor Green was born the day the towers fell and will be laid to rest Thursday in Tucson. She and five others were killed Saturday in a shooting that wounded 13 others, including U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. A spokesman for the foundation that displays the flag around the country says it's with a New York firefighter who hopes to arrive Wednesday, depending on the storm in the Northeast. www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/ar...2/national/a062534S72.DTL

Your president, Hussein Soetoro would politicize a funeral, the result of left wing rhetoric taken to the next level. Left on Left crime. Get used to it. We'll be seeing more in the remaining two years. Just like your fellow DEMOCRAT FRED PHELPS wishes to defile tragedy in the name of politics.
I hear the event is going to be covered by 'network TV' so all can mourn. You will mourn won't you or does the President and First Lady being there prevent you from that?
Prostituting the event to raise his abyssal numbers is sickening and just about what you can expect from the First Comrades.
