Michelle Obama's promise to rewrite our history has now become a reality.

http://www.videowired.com/watch/?id=2435045961

"WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Obama administration is opposing
legislation that would add President Franklin Roosevelt's D-Day
prayer to the World War II Memorial in Washington D.C.

At a House hearing Thursday, Robert Abbey, director of the
Bureau of Land
Management, said a plaque or inscription of the
prayer that Roosevelt
read on a radio broadcast to the nation on
June 6, 1944, would "dilute" the memorial's central message.

As U.S and allied troops launched the invasion that led to the
defeat of Nazi Germany, FDR asked the nation to join him in prayer.
He then asked God to give the allied troops courage and faith,
saying, "With thy blessing we shall prevail over the unholy forces
of our enemy."

A World War II veteran, 87-year-old George "Poppy" Fowler,
told a House committee that the prayer should be added to the
memorial. He said, "This prayer came at a perilous time, yet it
was answered in victory at a dear cost of lives."

The legislation calls for the plaque or inscription to be paid
for with private donations."

Does this latest salvo of US history suppression endorsed by the Obama administration and foretold by MO, cause you any concern about the direction the Obama regime is trying to force the country?

While the ACLU has been active before Obama, representing various anti Judeo-Christian groups, the speech by MO and the flood of attacks by federal agency heads on various war memorials , some located in remote desert and mountain areas, suggest a link between MO's words and a conscious attempt to rewrite US history?

The Obama administration has been more effective at rewriting our history than creating jobs...

It wasn't necessary when the memorial was built, and it's not necessary today.

So, by your logic, the memorial wasn't "necessary" when it was built so it is not "necessary" now?

Good 0-bama-like thought pattern.

No, the inscription isn't needed now, since it wasn't then.

Imagine if you will, the entire nation listening to the president on the only means of timely communication, the radio.

An entire nation praying together.

Really, you'd not want successive generations to know the culture that produced men and women who gave their lives to create this country?

It seems grossly inconsistent that a growing institutional embarassment of our culture is held up against the charge of ignorance that we not judge other cultures. Beyond that, it is our history that is being lost and it is our history that shapes our future.

Same reply to this statement as the previous one, replacing "necessary" with "needed".

You can get out of this by merely stating this as your "opinion" which it clearly is as opposed to a statement of fact.

Don't let our children know that at one time America prayed and did it very publicly. What a sad country we have become.

Purposeful omissions IS rewriting history.
Did the prayer NOT happen ?
If so and it was broadcast to the nation why not put the inscription where it's appropriate..at the WWII memorial ?
