| Obama Will Not Commemorate D-Day. Again. |
| 2012-06-06 |
| It’s D-Day and President Obama is hitting the beaches – of sunny California! It's Hell out there! 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. Who care what happened 68 years ago? I gotta solicit money! 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. The man is absolutely heartless. 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. She's only after votes for The Once. Those people mean nothing to her. Obama’s failure to mark D-Day in any significant way is both a shame and a political mistake. How can it be a Shame when the man is Shameless? Don't you realize it's all about Him? He wasn't there so it can't be important. He can't take credit for any of it. 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. |
