Most folks would consider speaking about the war on Memorial Day to be the President's duty...and you would likely be calling him deficient or cowardly if he chose not to. A rational person would not claim he was policizing the day unless he spoke at length about the Democrats "cut and run" strategy and their providing "aid and comfort" to the enemy...or the Republican's moral fortitude in backing the war. He certainly did not use it to attack Democratic presidential candidates for their cowardice or their lack of character in voting for the war and now that the war is not so popular...pulling for our retreat/defeat.
