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.

One of my friends was on the USS George Washington at the 50th anniversary. We teased him mercilessly about getting a medal for transporting the rapist from England to France.
I doubt Obama is subtle enough to try the fake reflective moment in the sand like Bubba Happy Pants did.
I'm sure this malignantly narcissistic twit will triangulate the sacrifice and glory of Normandy into something about himself
Undoubtedly many veterans and their families plan to visit on D-Day...they don’t have too many years left
WHAT A JERK obama is
I think we're running out of derogatory words for this tyrant.
INTREP
Well, one thing obambi is good for. He has put us in a position to have to come up with new derogatory words that don’t exist yet. So far he is an insult to all the ones we have now. What is the male version of skank crack whore?
Obama has no right to even walk over that ground!

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.
Oh, and that isn’t it. He apparently will make a gesture to acknowledge how Germany suffered during WWII. It was hard work sending those Jews to the bath house you see.
During the election campaign Mr Obama sought regularly to deflect any suggestion that his exotic multinational background meant that he lacked patriotism by pointing out how his maternal grandfather, Stanley Dunham, had “marched with Patton’s army” after the Normandy landings.
~~~
Visiting a concentration camp will send an important message to Israel and Jewish voters back home — who have sometimes been suspicious towards him — that he fully recognises the horrors of the Holocaust.
But he will be aware of the sensibilities of his German hosts before the D-Day commemoration and by travelling to Dresden — a city destroyed by ferocious Allied bombing in February 1945 — Mr Obama will also acknowledge how Germany suffered during the Second World War.
Listen, many countries suffered during the war but there is only country to blame for starting it, Germany. To make some kind of gesture like this almost seems like a apology for our actions in defending Europe and the free world AND he does it during the anniversary of D-Day. Just so typical of these moral relative nimrods.

So, now we know why the sudden feature story on "Uncle Charlie" who fought in WWII in the Chicago Tribune this week.
There's no doubt, especially after the filthy and hateful jokes and digs at the WHCD tonight, (after which I needed a bath) that there has never been a more pompous, immature, unstatesmanlike and bigger anti-American lowlife than this creature in our White House.
For him to walk among all these brave heroes .. I could just cry. God rest their souls.
BTTT
Well said. Does Obama ever stay in Washington and do any work at all or is Rahm running the country?
What a disgusting piece of human debris Zero is!
Running the country is a difficult job. Wrecking the country if fairly easy.
I have to wonder how long it will be until Obama asks that the crosses be removed so that they do not offend Islam....
Good point. Obama is doing a fine job of wrecking our country.
Just getting fed up paying for his smug little ass to go on these world apology tours...not to mention his $100 an ounce steaks..his wife’s $525 sneakers..his $400,000 ‘photo op’/terror ride over Manhatten...his stupid pizza flown in from Chicago and St Louis...his weekly $100,000-500,000 ‘cocktail parties’/campaign events/ at the WH and tons of other stuff!!
They are acting like pretentious pompous clowns. Wonder how long the American people are going to put up with it?
How long? ... Hah! His voters, most of whom do not believe they pay taxes because they’re too dumbed down or stupid to realize all the ways they are taxed, haven’t a clue that they are paying for this affirmative action figure to shuck and jive on a global scale. They will never figure it out.
