Actually I am surprised that he even knew it was the anniversary of D-Day. I guess someone clued him in.

This is true no matter how many of you want to deny it. And this is coming from someone who does not tweet or use twitter at all.

I honestly beginning to think there is something really mentally wrong with a lot of the right wingers in this country.

You know, I've been alive since 1949, pretty well aware of politics since about 1959, and I do not remember D-day being "celebrated" once until the 60th anniversary. I don't even remember my parents, both WW II vets, talking about it. They did, however, like to say "Remember Pearl Harbor" on Dec. 7.

There was quite a big to-do on the 50th anniversary, as well. Incredibly moving. (That damn Lancaster dropping poppies gets me every single time.)

Of course, for us Yurpeans, VE day is perhaps more poignant. Battles are a sad necessity at times, but the coming of peace in liberty is what they're fought for.

I don't think that Obama has any speech writers who could write that prayer let alone the ability to say something like that.

Lets remind the progs that Obama has declared that the US is not a Christian nation any longer. I wonder how much like FDR good old Prince Barack can ever be. He wants us to see him as a hero but he never could do what FDR did in that one. It is a shame that not one of these cruds has bothered to hear that or at least hear it through and comment about what the President of the United States did that historic day.

Compare Obama's tweet to the word of the man he wants to be like. Funny.

I wonder how many of our progressive friends saw that thread last night with all the tweets about the death of Scotty, as they called him in their chanting and squealing. I was very embarrassed when I read those things that any group of Americans could act like that.
You know Roy it wouldn't matter to these America hating Obamabots.

I guess I was too busy raising kids that year to remember it. It's funny what different cultures remember from WW II. Here in the US, Pearl Harbor Day seems to be the premiere event. In Europe, I'm sure not so much!

No one celebrates D-Day, its a day where the US and our allies remember the shared sacrifices that have been made by our countries.

Not to diminish the event its not something he should be expected to stop and make a big statement on. However, what is a story is this man continues to beg the hollywood elite for money. Just a day after the left slammed all the money Walker got, they continue to look the other way in regards to the record number of fundraisers Obama is doing.

Stop begging for damn money and do your damn job. Stop bashing wealthy businessmen while you hang out with wealthy hollywood, you no good celebrity in chief clown.
