Live Thread: Obama at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery (Thunderstorm Overhead)

Will a thunderstorm force the cancellation of Obama's Memorial Day speech at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood, Illinois? C-SPAN just lost their signal as Obama took the stage amid thunderous lightning and pouring rain.

Noooo kidding? LOL

B.O. gets "rained out", and the gal on FNC said, "Oh well, you can't control the weather".

"The One" can control the climate and the level of the seas, even "heal the planet", but he can't control the rain? s/:

“I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and GOOD JOBS TO THE JOBLESS; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our PLANET BEGAN TO HEAL; this was the moment when we ENDED A WAR and SECURED OUR NATION and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth. This was the moment ­ this was the time ­ when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves, and our highest ideals. Thank you, God Bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America.”

Is Barack Obama the Messiah?

"... a light will shine through that window, a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany ... and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote for Obama" - Barack Obama Lebanon, New Hampshire. January 7, 2008.

Obama is our "Light-Worker" our "messiah"

You don't believe?? Then add your name to this list of "heretics and unbelievers". (You must scroll down beneath the list of the "converted")

FNC just announced that B.O.’s remarks have been canceled due to “rain”.

Excellent! Illinois is good for something, after all!

I was somewhat surprised they sent Obama to the microphone after the lightning struck near the ceremony.

[RetroSexual]

Thanks Austin, I’ll share a ceremonial Cheeto with you!

[raybbr]

Perhaps even God is openly showing His disdain for the Obomnation.

That would involve lightning. Unless I see smoke then it's a feint.

Gee, Zero. It’s partly sunny and pushing 90 in Arlington today according to the weather service. I’m sure it’s lovely at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier right now. Don’t you wish you were laying a wreath there instead, you traitorous bastard?

LOL!

[kristinn]

Thank you!

It looks like C-SPAN was the only one rolling when Obama first went on stage. I hope they post it in their archives.

[Matchett-PI]

You’re welcome!

When you are surrounded by incompetent people they tend to make all manner of mistakes.

[rockabyebaby]

I’m willing to bet obama is jumping with glee because he didn’t have to go through with this ceremony.
