ELWOOD, Illinois (Reuters) – President Barack Obama's Memorial Day observance was stopped in its tracks on Monday by a torrential downpour accompanied by bolts of lightning and booming thunder.
Obama thrilled the crowd at Abraham Lincoln National Ceremony by appearing under an umbrella as the rain poured down. But he did not deliver his prepared remarks honoring troops who died fighting for the United States.
Instead he urged the crowd to seek shelter.

why the HECK is this man in Illinois on Memorial Day?
Ha Ha!
(oh well, no such luck...)
Thank you God for stopping this man from grabbing a photo op and giving an empty speech.
“Instead he urged the crowd to seek shelter.”
To seek shealter from the storm or from him? ;-)
I was just going to post the same thing..THANK GOD!!
Act of God!
Maybe he is doing testimony for the Blago trail? Getting the stories straight!
Huh ???
Actually, the proper phrase is: Piss be upon him.
I guess the Teleprompter must have worked for a minute or two. I don't think Obama would have urged the crowd to seek shelter unless the Teleprompter urged him to do so.
...and lookie at the miserable frown on his face!!
Yes, Thank YOU GOD for stopping this man’s “ speech” today!
Honest Abe telling this tin pot wannabe dictator something?
“Obama thrilled the crowd at Abraham Lincoln National Ceremony by appearing under an umbrella as the rain poured down.
Huh ??? “”
My reaction, exactly...huh?
Must have been all those SEIU members bussed in.
How did we go from the fearless General George Washington crossing the Delaware in battle, the courageous Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders charging San Juan Hill to the feckless BHO who melts during a rainstorm?
Classic Marxist “leader”, for his subjects he demands, “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds but for the wussy Obama, “Oh honey, get my galoshes, its fixin’ to storm!”
Obama still being in office is a symptom of a very sick nation.
LOL! God does have a sense of humor!
(I can’t post what hubby just said...) :0)
and he had to hold his own umbrella...
Is the guy next to him concealing a smile?!!!
