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.

Surprised?
He's managed to irritate a stunning number of constituencies in his first 100 days. Unprecedented for a president. There is no fence mending or bipartisanship. He thinks he won so he's emperor. In the end, Obama is going to make Nixon look good.
it is America’s failing that we have zero usurper in the white house.
Arrogant Americans Resting in Peace
I think he’s afraid someone will take a shot at him. In France of all places.
Sadly, you are correct.
bump...
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?”
What a conceited little brown puddle of diarrhea this pigeon toed fascist Obama is.
We’ll see if France rolls over for him,,,
He’s gunna touch that 3rd Rail one of these days...
