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.
Karma’s a beeyotch.
Thanks for posting the video. I am from Hawaii, and it was really interesting to see the old Hawaii.
So true
I don’t feel bad for any of the _resident’s supporters who showed up. I hope they were absolutely pelted on their way to their cars. Maybe a good bang to the head would smarten them up a bit.
“Greater love hath no man than to lay down his life for a friend.”
I hope this thing stays cancelled and those who rest in the arms of God, who served our country, won’t have to suffer the phoney words of remembrance from Barry.

It’s sooo hard. Praying for the troops is easy, of course, but every time I get used to praying for the usurper he says something REALLY annoying or stupid. I guess it’s a small matter until we have another chance to VOTE!!!
“I’m a few miles from Lincoln National Cemetary. It’s raining like hell with lots of lighting going on too.”
Thank you for the report.
I love God - so very cool!
To which crisis are you referring?
“Maybe if he went ahead and delivered his speech dispite the rain, it would actually show that he has some (you know).”
___what,,that he really has a ‘fro? Go figure.
Our brave soldiers fought and gave all for their country and this puke can’t even take a little rain? What a pu**sy!
Michelle is probably giving him hell because her hair will kink up on her!

Obama is so pissed at God right now. I’m sure he’s giving him an earful,,from his prayer rug.
Oh Retro,,I had to call my family around your Carter picture! Quick history lesson and a HUGE laugh! Thank you. I think we will have Cheetos in your honor later, lol. I’m still laughing...THANK YOU!
Love the opening sentence from the article-
ELWOOD, Illinois — President Obama was rushed offstage at a Memorial Day event after a massive lightning and rain storm opened up on the open field where he was to speak.

The president said he'd wait to see if the thunder passes “in the next 15-20 minutes.”
More than 20 minutes later, the thunder, lightning and downpour continue strong.
The wreath the president set up has blown over in the storm.
Complicating the evacuation is that many people parked in remote spots and were shuttled to the ceremony in buses and golf carts.
But...but I thought Allah was Zero’s buddy!?! /sarcasm/
You’re welcome!
FNC just announced that B.O.’s remarks have been canceled due to “rain”.
Hee hee hee.
