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.
