On June 6, 1944, the D-Day invasion of Europe took place during World War II as Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy, France. America lost 2,499 of its finest men that day.

(Enterprise News) It’s too bad Barack Obama missed the anniversary today. The White House website has nothing posted today on the 66th Anniversary of the D-Day landing. The president had other things on his mind. He was attending his second party this week, tonight at the Ford Theatre. According to the Ford’s Theatre website, the event tonight is described as follows: Ford’s Theatre Society will host its annual gala on Sunday, June 6, 2010, at Ford’s Theatre (511 10th Street NW). The evening’s performance, titled “America Celebrates July 4th at Ford’s Theatre,” will be taped for broadcast on the ABC Television Network to air July 2, 2010 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET). Modern Family cast member Ty Burrell hosts a star-studded program with appearances by Kelly Clarkson, Renee Fleming, George Lopez, Lionel Richie, Robin Roberts, Dick Van Dyke, Laura Michelle Kelly and Gavin Lee from the Broadway Company of “Mary Poppins,” the Soldiers’ Chorus of the United States Army Field Band, and cast members from the Ford’s Theatre production of “Little Shop of Horrors.”

OK leftwing apolgists for obama, spin this one.

Has any US President since 1945 failed to recognize D-Day and what that sacrifice achieved?

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

The real, basic, fundamental question here is how do you fix a country stupid/crazy enough to elect to its highest office an individual like Barack “Death to America” Husein Obama

Best response from the article comments was from a poster named MSMediacritic, who wrote:

Why should he celebrate D-Day? In his view, the wrong side won.

Did he even realize it was D-Day? He just continually appears as so NOT an American, much less an American President of the United States. It's very, very wierd.

Just as pol, you'd also think he'd be cynical enough to think, hey, get out a "today in history" calendar and make sure I "celebrate" all the "right" things so I don't further alienate those bitter clingers in this country.

And, good Lord, what was Michelle wearing at that concert? Is that her bellybutton poking up?

I think the U.S. President should make it a tradition to hold a ceremony at the D-Day memorial in Bedford, VA each year and then to the Landing Craft museum in New Orleans.
