Live Thread: Obama at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery (Thunderstorm Overhead)
Monday, May 31, 2010 | Kristinn

Posted on 05/31/2010 9:42:23 AM PDT by kristinn

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.

Even God agrees...President Skippy is not allowed to flake out on Memorial Day at Arlington.

lol, maybe that is why it was so short?! Obama couldn’t pull it off, even w/ prep time. I’ve never been impressed with his supposed gift of oratory, and the fact that he always lacks substance is simply more proof that he’s an empty suit.

There may be just enough space between fronts to get him through, but he better not stutter much or say “uh” too many times...

Did they manage to get the teleprompter out of harms way?

Obama took the stage at midday under the cover of a large umbrella to tell people that “a little rain never hurt anybody” and that officials would make an announcement soon about whether the program would continue.

Obama asked people to return to their cars for their safety, as he waited out the storm nearby.

He could if He wanted to, but maybe He's just handing out a warning for now; that storm (we are in the burbs of Chicago) came out of nowhere btw, just as he was about to speak ... it otherwise has not even been overcast today -- where we live anyway ...

Yes, the great God almighty that gave us George Washington and Abraham Lincoln still loves America. Maybe the almighty felt we needed a lesson, by giving us a disciple of the anti-American crowd, you know, the fifth column amongst us, headed by POTUS Barack Hussein Obama!!!

The storm couldn’t have happened at a better time!

I’m looking for a link to the Atlanta black gathering. The one where they’re referring to a war. Can anyone help me out?
