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.

Now my day is complete. I won’t have to hear about the glorious speech he gave all day.

Those teleprompters would serve as lightning rods.

If "the one" flew into Lincoln Cem. on Marine One, the pilot will have to wait for the storm to pass before they return to Chicago.

Obama stopped to speak with some attendees on the way out, according to Major Garrett at Twitter:

Obama's motorcade stopped alongside parked bus filled with ceremony attendees. Obama hopped aboard to say hello. 1 minute ago via TweetDeck

“Obama’s motorcade stopped alongside parked bus filled with ceremony attendees. Obama hopped aboard to say hello.”

SEIU or ACORN???

No one really needs yet another speech from this creep anyway. Last person I’d want to hear from on this solemn U.S. holiday.

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

OH yea remember the earthquake? Apr 18, 2008

There have been many signs that have surround Obama since he began his run for president.

“I’m a few miles from Lincoln National Cemetary. It’s raining like hell with lots of lighting going on too.”

I live not that far from the cemetary also. Rain, lightenuing, thunder, a grand display of displeasure by the Almighty to this Prez, I’m sure. I can’t think of anyone’s parade I’d more want rained on than Obama. Saved us from hearing his faux comments honoring our troops and fallen, while his whole political agenda is to do the opposite. Mama Nature fixed that.

I saw busloads of them heading south from Chicago this morning.

Plus also sending a message WHERE OBAMA SHOULD had been, at Arlington.

Because that’s the way America works now: everyone is not equal, some are special, privileged, ...one might say “Divinely Appointed.”
