Bacon gum.
Was the U.S. responsible for the D-Day interpretive dance?
Just this morning I awoke with that 1 Chronicles scripture in my mind about “His people who are called by His name” humbling themselves to pray and He would heal their nation, etc. and I prayed and said I was sorry for what we’ve become as a nation. We aren’t “His people” anymore, there are of course Christians left in America, praying for her daily, but that train has left the station, heading for a cliff. I prayed He come back soon and redeem us all.
In my memory, the most memorable and positive appearance by a U.S. president at D-Day commemorative ceremonies, was Reagan’s speech in 1984. Obama’s speech was very forgettable, in my opinion.
This may be the last major commemoration featuring veterans who were part of the Normandy invasion. The passage of time has taken most of them from us. The 75th anniversary in five years will be worth noting. But just wonder how many will still be around for that.
D-Day will always be worth the commemoration, but, just wonder how much longer participants will be with us.
Obama obviously goes out of his way to insult America in general and the Military in particular. However, the gum chewing—almost certainly Nicorette—was more likely a result of his addictive-dysfunctional personality. You’d have to have spent a lot of time around a seriously addiction-dysfunctional person to know how bad it gets. They say Obama is playing golf at unprecedented levels. He’s partying—with abundant alcohol—in a similar measure. We don’t know about smoking, but odds are it’s up. There are rumors he spends enormous amounts of time watching ESPN. If we had more info, this list would doubtless be much longer.
Get Obama in a Normandy-beach setting, & he’s temporarily cut off from all his addictive outlets/props. The fact that he can’t go even that short period of time without a serious Nicorette fix is a window into how bad it’s gotten. This is an addictive-dysfunctional wreck careening down the highway toward a massive smash up.
Obama uses his addictions to separate himself from unpleasant realities. For some time now reality has been more and more unpleasant. He is unpopular & his polls stubbornly refuse to rebound. Criticism from his own party is intensifying. His Bergdahl blunder is evidence of desperation. He just had to get the news cycle off the VA scandal. But he’s so isolated & distracted that he had no idea of the firestorm he would provoke.
Yes, his gum chomping reflected badly on America, & certainly insulted the vets. But its primary function most likely was to get nicotine into his system. He is out of control. He’s living from golf game to golf game, party to party, drink to drink, etc. No matter how hard they try, his managers won’t be able to haul him unscathed to the end of this term. Addiction-dysfunction is a downward spiral. Obama is caught in it, & intensifying its severity over time. This will not end well.
Too bad, as I’d hoped my mother would see it. She adores Obama (blech!), but absolutely cannot stand GUM CHEWERS!
Nicotine gum I bet
It is absolutely true that he did it on purpose. He is showing his cronies and his screwed up ‘base’ that he doesn’t really give a damn about D-Day.
Republican politicians are, for the most part, silent in the matter.
Nobody wants to be a racist.
Might have been a Nicorette but nevertheless it was totally tasteless to do that during a public ceremony. Even ‘Weezie’ wouldn’t have let George do that.
The lapdog media would black out Obama defecating on the flag.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
big deal..now Moochell chewing her cud...
There will be nothing in the US news. The media will lie, cheat and steal to protect their man.
Now if Bush had looked like he was chewing gum, we would be hearing about it for 2 months afterwards.
Just be glad the ever glamorous Michelle Moochelle was not there. Her comment would have been, “All this for some battle.”
I can stomach neither the sound, the look, nor the stench of gum chewing.
This is one reason why I avoid, at all costs, any kind of public transportation, up to and including flying.
I also have despised, for a long time, the extra-loud and extra-disgusting ways blacks chew gum.
This is just one more reason to despise them all...
