Obama Bans the Commonfolk from Normandy
Obama Bans the Commonfolk from Normandy
A lot of the difference, the change if you will, between Obama and Bush has much to do with the word humility.
George Bush is and was a humble man. Obama thinks the world counts on him and him alone to lead us. Bush went to church and prayed often. Obama puts out press releases about his supposed piety. The left sold a great bill of goods to the American people claiming that Bush, et al. were arrogant while insisting that Obama was a “man of the people.”
The 65th Anniversary of D-Day is fast approaching. Barack Obama will attend the events on June 6th as George Bush did in 2004 for the sixtieth memorial service. Here is the rub, as of now Obama’s State Department has asked (read demanded) the French government not allow tour guide services to operate that day. It is a big day for Normandy tourism. Yet, the king will not allow those not connected with government to enjoy the day. Obama is very important you know. This is an unprecedented request. I hope the French come to their senses and deny it.
Compare that with 2004. Security was tight as President Bush and other world leaders were in attendance, but the event was still open to all. A friend relayed the story of waiting in line to use a port-a-potty (a French port-a-potty no doubt, yuck, believe me.) She looks to her left and who he is in the next line waiting patiently? President Bush. Sure he had Secret Service nearby, but he waited like everyone else.
Contrast that with Team Obama not even allowing regular people near Colleville-Sur-Mer that day. A shame indeed. Especially as the last of our WW II vets are expiring.
As the Bamsters unemployment rate pushes 10% (double the Bush average) and his 3.5 trillion dollar budget breaks the USA (the press of course focuses on his 17 billion in “savings.” Way to go 4th Estate.), Obama has more to worry about then denying people the right to attend a memorial service on June 6th.
It’s as if Obama has to let it be known that he is more important than honoring the events and the 9,387 mostly young Americans who died invading Normandy 65 years ago. Will Obama apologize for American actions during WW II at the event?
I think the following quote from Obama himself sums it all up: “a light will shine down from somewhere…. You will experience an epiphany. And you will say to yourself, ‘I have to vote for Barack.’” Watch for yourself:
The guy can’t even bring himself to say “shine down from heaven.” Do you really expect him to line up to use the can with the commoners at a Normandy celebration? Americans may start to miss the guy with the humility.
Universal Healthcare, unchecked unions, government run banks, government run autos, cap and trade, turning the 20 million undocumented Democrats into voters: That isn’t America and it surely isn’t what those young boys died at Normandy for.
We elected a fairy tale. We can start the road back to reality in 2010 with the mid-term elections.

Wild Thing's comment.........
This will be the 65th anniversary of D-Day.
For Obama to go to Normandy is ABSOLUTE sacrilege!!!!!! Obama hates our history, he doesn't even have enough interest in it to read and know that more then one bomb was dropped at Pearl Harbor. Rev. Wright and his preaching constantly lied and re-wrote history their way packed with propaganda.Obama never has shown respect for our military, our troops today or for our Veterans. He went to a gym instead of visiting the wounded in Germany. He walks past our troops on stage only shaking the hands of officers because he has to. Not even a glance in the troops in the stands watching him.
His trip in June to Normandy is nothing more then a photo op and of the worst kind.
Those men died to stop fascism. Now our country has a fascist going there as president. One of my Uncles was at Normandy D-Day and I'm glad he's not around to see this.
It was bad enough when Slick Willie walked on the Normandy beach and played with those little stones in the sand while a battle ship floated in the distance behind him and a tear rolled down his fat, red cheek for that phony, staged photo.
When President Bush went there :
Security was tight as President Bush and other world leaders were in attendance, but the event was still open to all. A friend relayed the story of waiting in line to use a port-a-potty.
She looks to her left and who he is in the next line waiting patiently? President Bush. Sure he had Secret Service nearby, but he waited like everyone else.
Contrast that with Obama not even allowing regular people near Colleville-Sur-Mer that day. A shame indeed. Especially as the last of our WW II vets are expiring.
For him to walk among all these brave heroes .. I could just cry. God rest their souls.
Here is the story about Bill Clinton's visit there from someone that was there.
" It was the fiftieth anniversary of the Normandy landings. We were standing with a group of veterans and their wives on the bluff overlooking Omaha Beach, where they had come ashore on that historic morning at what cost only they could really know. All of them had visited the military cemetery where so many of their buddies lay, and all of them were deeply moved by the day and by the memories it brought to the surface.
As we stood there some of the Clinton advance crew, the public relations arm of the administration, came along and asked the veterans to move off. These were the men, some walking with canes, a couple in wheelchairs piloted by wives or children, many feeble, in whose honor we were supposed to be there. But there was another agenda for the White House staff.
The veterans never understood why they’d been moved away, but as accredited correspondents we were allowed—no, encouraged—to stay there, along with press photographers and reporters. And what we witnessed was a couple of White House aides surveying the beach, looking around to find something, then picking up some stones, studying them and finally choosing one which they placed with care at a strategic spot near the shoreline. Moments later President Clinton arrived, was escorted to the spot, and as the entourage stepped back out of camera view, he looked around at the scene and then down at his feet where he seemed to spy something—yes, a stone—which he picked up, looked at and then held in his grasp as he bit his lip and let a tear dampen his cheek. Deeply moved, you see.
There was some grumbling among the more assertive of the veterans who had been shunted away from the important action, but the pictures in the French press of Bill Clinton spontaneously picking up a stone on Omaha Beach and then staring out at the sea as he teared up and bit his lip were very effective.
The New York Times never described the scene or the staging by the keepers of the Clinton image."

Is he that afraid of the common man?
This is the 65th anniversary. This is very poor PR on his part. Those descendants of those who are buried there deserve the right to be there, as do any others who choose to remember with honor those who laid down their lives for something greater then themselves. What a shameful President we have.

Wouldn't it be great if O'Vomit tripped over a grave and broke his weasel neck?

The Common folk are banned because of Obama ? Who the hell does he think won that freakin war it wasn't the elite or Some priviledged preppy kids from Yale.
Imagine this from the bastard child of a tryst between a white woman, getting even with her father, and some itinerant Kenyan Con man who stayed long enough to father a child then promptly leave.
This pompus asshole, who never worked for a thing in his life has the balls to demand that the 'Common folk' not be invited or allowed to tour the battlefield where so many Americans gave their last full measure so that bastards like Obama could even be afforded the chance to even run for President. He is there because of the Americans who gave their all to Liberate the people of France. It would be a gross mistake on Sarkosys part to even consider this stupid, inane request.

There are reserved spots in hell for assholes like Obama and Clinton.
Obama has no reason other than self serving political propaganda to go to Normandy. This racist has no appreciation or respect for the mostly White men that died there. After all, he has rejected the White side of his family. The D Day soldiers fought and died for America and The Constitution. Two things Obama hates.
Piss on Obama. The only things not phony about Obama are his Marxism, racism, ambition and narcissism.

Two quotes for the Bedouin imposter.
“If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. ”~ Abraham Lincoln
“They cannot take away our self-respect if we do not give it to them.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi
I refuse to lower my self respect to honor a piece of shit that holds no respect for anyone but himself, a halfbreed soutpiel bastard.
Grow a pair Sarkozy!!!

Lynn, I agree it is a terrible thing. He
will regret this. Obama still has time to
change his mind about this, I hope he does.
Not for his sake but for the feelings of the people
that he is doing this to.

cuchieddie/RVN 66-68, yes it would.
Posted by: Wild Thing at May 10, 2009 07:00 PM
Mark, I agree so much with what you
said.
Obama will use the excuse as it being
for security reasons, but honestly that
is a bunch of bs. I am hoping he changes
his mind. I bet when there is flak about
this he will blame someone else, but he
is the one that orchestrates that he
wants this to be like this.

Tom, yesss those places in hell, they
have Obama's name on them.
Good one!!!

Jack, thanks for the quotes.
I agree it is up to Sarkozy to take a
stand about this.

Not only does Obama not know history, he showed that with his recent remarks about Churchhill during WWII, what little history he is aware of has been twisted by his socialism mother and Rev. Wright--both of which hate America, as does his wife Michelle. Obama does understand the history as spouted by those on the left in which they blame the U.S. for all the worlds problems. He is a sad figure. Obama is weak and indecisive flaws in a man and dangers in a president.

Photo op. Exactly. We already know they will spare no expense or human emotion for their own agenda.
