Obama, being from Hawaii you would think would have the common decency to at least release a boiler plate message on the 72nd anniversary of Pearl Harbor.

Obama is headed to Hawaii shortly after heading to South Africa for Mandela’s funeral. I’m sure there will be plenty of selfies from Obama then:

Unlike Obama, the Day of Infamy at Pearl Harbor is still being remembered all over the country.
