Every year the French have a 4 day celebration in Normandy complete with American uniforms, tanks, jeeps and guns. They still honor the Americans who died there?.

June 6, 2013, the 69th anniversary of "D-Day", the largest invasion ever attempted, where 200,000 Americans stormed the beaches at Normandy to begin the final push to defeat Nazi Germany in WWII. D-Day marked the turning point in WWII in Europe ... Today, European heads of state make it a point to recall and honor the sacrifices of those who landed in Normandy , as do our Presidents.... well, most of them....

In the 69 years since D-Day, there are four occasions when the President of the United States chose not to visit the D-Day Monument that honors the soldiers killed during the Invasion.

The occasions were:

1. Barack Obama, 2010
2. Barack Obama, 2011
3. Barack Obama, 2012
4. Barack Obama, 2013


For the past 69 years, every American President except Obama have taken the time to honor the memory and sacrifices of the 6,000 American soldiers killed on D-Day. ...Except Obama!

June 6 2010,
Obama had no events scheduled.

June 6, 2011,
Obama met with the National Security team and was interviewed by WEWS Cleveland and WDIV in Detroit about the auto industry - FAR too busy to visit the D-Day memorial.

June 6, 2012,
instead of honoring our fallen soldiers, Obama made a campaign trip to California on Air Force 1 (at our expense) to raise funds for (his) upcoming election.

June 6, 2013,
Obama was doing ANOTHER fund raiser with the multimillionaires in the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in Palo Alto , CA , once again at our expense.

America - Aren't you proud?


Four times in 69 years!!


SHAME ON AMERICA FOR ELECTING A NON-VETERAN PRESIDENT WHO DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF: HE IS ABSOLUTELY A DISGRACE TO ALL WHO FOUGHT FOR THIS NATION AND GAVE THEIR LIVES.

VETERANS - PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO YOUR VETERAN FRIENDS AND

what is so good about war, anyway?

Being a winner and remaining free. Although I have doubts for our future in that regard.

Once the towel-heads acquire an atom-bomb they will probably not think twice about either using it or threatening with it. We are only infidels remember.

The disgrace is people who post crap without taking even one minute to verify that there might be even a shred of truth to what they post. But those who hate America are so quick to denigrate the President that facts don't matter.

So yes, I will dispute this bullshit.

"The first president to travel to Normandy for D-Day was Ronald Reagan. Bill Clinton attended D-Day memorial ceremonies in Normandy on the 50th anniversary of the landings in 1994. George W. Bush did so on the 60th anniversary in 2004, and Barack Obama did likewise on the 65th anniversary of the landings in 2009".

"In fact, any public presidential activity paying tribute to fallen U.S. and Allied soldiers on the anniversary of D-Day has been an exception rather than the rule. Available White House presidential schedules for 6 June going back to the beginning of the Bush administration in 2001 list no public events connected to D-Day in 2012, 2011, 2010, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2003, or 2002."

Since the D-day invasion, exactly four presidents have attended D-Day memorial ceremonies a total of exactly six times. Barack Obama was one of them.

Your apology to us all for wasting our time, and to the President for the false accusation is accepted.

Thanks for bringing the facts to light. I often wonder whether some of those who post crap like this, without any apparent attempt at authentication, merely want to stir up a fight. And all too often the result is a verbal brawl in which those who disagree with the OP or his supporters are often insulted in ways which would earn them a punch in the nose if said in person. Let's all grow up and stop the adolescent behavior!

Once again, just pure bullshit made up by the right.

Geez, once Obama's term is up and Hillary is President, your entire reason for living, i.e. hating Obama, will be gone. How will you possibly go on?

I hate war, but sometimes we have to kill MF a$$holes such as you and your ilk, it more than justified.

I just sent them a map of Kauai.

Oh, don't worry. The hatred will move seamlessly from Obama to Hillary. That is the whole purpose of Benghazi to no end, stir up some Hillary hatred in preparation for 2016. Now if she doesn't run, these folks will be lost but I'm sure they'll find someone/something else to hate.

ramapo Loc: New Jersey

That is just plain vile.

Nothing is good about war, but everything is good about freedom. Thousands of Americans died so Europeans could be free. I'm glad to know that some of them still appreciate it.
