But, Breitbart reports that Obama did, in fact, acknowledge the 1941 event, on his Facebook page, by….. wait for it…. posting a picture of himself.
Not. kidding.
via Breitbart: Obama Honors Pearl Harbor Dead With Picture of Himself President Barack Obama’s Facebook page on Saturday posted a message honoring the dead from Pearl Harbor—accompanied by a picture of Obama descending the stairs next to the Pearl Harbor Memorial. The picture barely fits the name of the Arizona Memorial so it can frame Obama in the foreground. The post’s statement reads:
Today, with solemn pride and reverence, let us remember those who fought and died at Pearl Harbor, acknowledge everyone who carried their legacy forward, and reaffirm our commitment to upholding the ideals for which they served…. But when @Whitehouse memorialized Nelson Mandela by tweeting a picture of Obama in Mandel’s jail cell, some the responses were hilarious.
These memorial/remeberance/honor photos do two things.
They make it appear like Obama is everywhere at every moment.
They are also the digital equivalent of Obama thumbing his nose at his detractors and those that truly want to honor and remember the worthy.

"If people can’t trust not only the executive branch but also don’t trust Congress, and don’t trust federal judges, to make sure that we’re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we’re going to have some problems here." - Barack Obama, June 7, 2013
