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.

Sadly enough it is the commonfolk that rest in Normandy.
well said
Maybe Obozo would like them to move the bodies?
Ooooh, would’t this be a great photo-op for a bunch of F-16s and Air Force One? Buzz the Normandy ceremony, then ..... I know .... drop tons of DVDs from Walmart. Make sure they are all Region 1, so they only work on USA DVD players. What a class-less buffoon.
And the world thinks that France has a monopoly on arrogance.....
0bama.....just.....makes....me....sick.
Obongo shouldn’t be allowed to walk that hallowed ground.
This was a security call on closing Normandy. The French government thinks little of Zero, and have a large Oooops! factor in security.
But he should just stay home.
It will get much worse, given his leftist policies and his disregard for patriotic America and traditional alliances.
But he made it that way.Now he has to live with it.
He will desecrate hollowed ground. What an evil bastard.
Bush is actually a MAN.
He will desecrate hollowed ground. What an evil bastard.

By all rights, France should tell HIM to stay away from real American soldiers who did sacrifice. Obama does not know what sacrifice means or even cares to. What a disgusting, revolting individual.
0 has managed the impossible - he’s one-up’d the anti-Christ.
This is the last contact I will have with this story.
That lying stuttering fascist bastard trodding the hallowed grounds of Normandie?
[spit]
If the poser had to “close” Normandy, he could have done so on the day before or day after D-day. I’m sure there are people with better claims to honor, who visit on that anniversary.
What a narcissist.
I wonder if he’ll take his “Uncle Charlie”? Maybe not- too white.
I wonder what will Obama do on Memorial Day. Will he issue a sobering statement about the sacrifices of those who gave their all, or will he blame barbecue grills for contributing to global warming?
“Sadly enough it is the commonfolk that rest in Normandy.”
I know what you mean. And although the men themselves may have been “commonfolk” - it is unbelievable what they accomplished. What was that one quote? Oh - found it. Was pertaining to Iwo Jima, but, I think it serves for many battlefields: “...uncommon valor was a common virtue.”
I suppose they have DVD’s of President Bush’s vist - or perhaps better yet - Reagan’s.
I can’t imagine He Who Shall Not Be Named giving a speech there. Heck. I wouldn’t be surprised if he apologizes for Americans invading France.
Didn't he pass up an opportunity to visit there on his whirlwind apology-for-America-it-wasn't-me tour?
Maybe one of the White House 1960s Marxist street rabble (or an ideological child of same) looked up what was so special about Normandy.
So now he's off to Europe again.
0 has managed the impossible - he’s one-up’d the anti-Christ.

He’d love that.
France - deny the request.
There are going to be thousands of people from the States in Normandy on that day. They will not be happy.
