8/15/11, "Obama Steps on Fallen Heroes' Dead Bodies for Personal Gain," American Thinker, Carol A. Taber

"There is a photo of Mr. Obama and his lapdogs, with Obama's feet carelessly slung on top of a desk. The desk that is defiled, not only by his supercilious attitude but by his dirty shoes, is none other than The Resolute Desk, built from the timbers of the HMS Resolute. She was a ship of the British Royal Navy that was trapped and then abandoned, but later rescued by an American Whaler and returned to Queen Victoria. The grateful Queen made a gift of the desk to President Rutherford B. Hayes, and

• it is considered a national treasure and an icon of the presidency.

Is it any wonder that the same president who would tramp on such a national treasure, as if it were a pesky bug, would also step on the valiant national treasures who died for his right to sit there? Obama will never understand that those things worth dying for are what make our lives so rich. Rather, he is an impoverished and hollow man, not deserving of the office of President of the United States."
