Location: Where I am happiest | Nice gesture. However it's nothing more then an attempt to shift focus away from the burning memories of what actually happened on 9-11 and by what idealogy. |

American will NEVER forget 9/11, no matter how many other "days" it becomes by this creep POTUS. |

| It's not a nice gesture and he doesn't mean it to be. It's a slimy(?)way to try to erase the true meaning of this day to something benign. I am sitting here watching "The Voices of 9/11". This day will never be celebrated as grandparents day at my house. |

Location: TEXAS | So apparently I'm mistaken - in the 70's grandparents day started by Jimmy Carter - the first Sunday in Sept after Labor Day. But Obummers Proclamation only feeds my anger, proclaiming it wasn't necessary. He likes to change things he should of changed Grandparents Day. |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | So I see Hillary had a "medical episode" today where she either fainted or nearly collapsed. Her shoe came off her foot, and the secret service had to help her into her limousine. The campaign spokesman claims it was because of the heat.
We in Texas can certainly appreciate the feeling of exhaustion from heat exposure. I mean give the lady a break...it was 75 degrees with 40% humidity and she was in that horrible heat for 90 minutes.
I hope she's capable of holding up in REAL heat. |

Our POTUS, he loves to distract our attention on anything. At least he didnt decide to label it National Golf Day. Smh |

Location: TEXAS | Actually it's the first Sunday after Labor Day so it doesn't always fall on 9/11.
If Obama wanted to "Proclaim" he should of Proclaimed to change the day if it falls on the historical date of 9/11. He's good at changing things. |

The president proclaims special days every year. He proclaimed Grandparents day in 2015, 2014, and 2013.
You can google "20____(year of your choice) presidential proclamation of ______(insert day of your choice)" and you will find the White House proclamation for that day.
