President blew-off event with Boy Scouts

Forty-five thousand Boy Scouts were celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America. One big event planned was for the personal appearance of President Obama. However, on July 27, we learned the president wouldn't appear, but a video taped message was to be played.

The administration said the "no-show" didn't have anything to do with his taping for his appearance on "The View," but that he had Democratic fund raisers to attend.

Thank you, Mr. President; I hope these future young voters and their families keep this historic event in mind.
