[00:00:00]Once again, the president's vanity supersedes both logic and more importantly the integrity and the dignity that belongs to our veterans and soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice and who lie at peace in Arlington National Cemetery.

The president has got to learn that it's not about his ego and his vanity. This is about people who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their nation and they deserve the honor and the tribute and the dignity that Arlington National Cemetery provides for their patriotic heroism.
