Obama Not Scheduled to Commemorate D-Day
Well, his kook base doesn't give a f.ck about it; why should he? Off to the Left Coast instead:
http://www.whitehousedossier.com/201...memorate-dday/
It’s D-Day and President Obama is hitting the beaches – of sunny California!
Instead of scheduling a brief event to mark the 68th anniversary of America’s brutal landing on the shores of Normandy, Obama is already on his way to San Francisco, where he will hold two fundraisers before moving on to Beverly Hills to stage two more.
Obama failed to mark D-Day with either a speech or a written proclamation both last year or the year before. He did give a speech in 2009, the 65th anniversary of the event.
First Lady Michelle Obama, who has made much of her “Joining Forces” campaign to support military families, also has nothing planned for D-Day. She’ll be in New York City for a fundraiser and then in Philadelphia to meet with campaign volunteers.
Obama’s failure to mark D-Day in any significant way is both a shame and a political mistake.
According to the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, two critical swing states – Florida and Pennsylvania, are among the top five states in terms of veterans’ population. Within the top twelve are four others – Michigan, Ohio, Virginia and North Carolina – all states Obama desperately needs to carry.

Ehh ..... doesn't surprise me at all about this guy. He didn't kill Hitler, so why should he give credit, where credit is DUE, for something he had no part of ..... even if he is OUR CinC.  ..... and just this once, I'm going to "borrow" (ie; steal) Richard's line ...... And So It Goes

Actually - maybe yesterday was a D-Day of a sort. Instead of landing in Normandy, we stormed Wisconsin. November 2010 was the result of an awakening tide. In the interim, more people were educated, more resources were allocated, and with the support of the rest of the country - the people of Wisconsin stood firm. We the people are in their strongholds, these are our backyards, and we're not going to allow them to piss on us any longer.
We are coming. Are we coming for you? Who do you represent? What do you represent? Listen. Because we are coming. We the people are coming.

Moved the rocks
Maybe somebody moved the rocks Clinton "found" on the beach and used to form a cross.
Lord save me, the picture of him and Hillery - in that wrappy thingy - hugging on the beach just popped into my mind.
So the President figured - no good photo op - no visit.

Actions speak louder than words. Carry on, Barry. Dig yourself a bigger hole. And may it cave in on you come November.

Really, what on Earth could he say that would be of any value? Maybe another story of a relative that did something during WWII, that really did not happen.

Maybe none of the vets invited him to their party. I can't imagine why. Just sayin'...

That was my first thought, as well. He can't top the "spontaneous" creation of a rock cross, and can't think of anything to top it off. Maybe he'll play another 18 holes "in honor" of our heroes.
