In his D-Day address Barack Obama praised "the bravery and selflessness" of American troops from the Revolutionary War to Vietnam, but specifically refused to recognize the courage and sacrifice of American troops serving in Afghanistan or in either Gulf War--a remarkable slight for a Commander-in-Chief of the troops he sends into harm's way every day.

I guess it’s ok to praise the bravery and valor of troops from past wars. It’s just too controversial to do the same for current “overseas contingency operations”.

It’s obvious - those are The Bush Wars.

Obama is still campaigning against Bush. I thought his handlers had told him - he won.

He’s too busy celebrating gay month.

Thank you. That was the intent.

Zero’s behavior on the anniversary of D-day was atrocious. That was my inspiration.

What would you expect from BO Plenty - his speech in Cairo completely exposed his Muslim identity and obedience to Islam. With each day we see BO Plenty’s dedication to the complete destruction of American values and the American way of life.

At least he was able to contain himself and not mention the service and valor of Tiller the Butcher.

It’s as if this guy knows just the things to say to push people’s buttons. He’s almost trying to ignite these wars. Hoping to justify his DHS memo, it seems.
