Overlord Echoes: The 65th Anniversary of the D-Day Invasion - WWII





Wonder if the story will come back now?

A lot of the difference, the change if you will, between Obama and Bush has much to do with the word humility.

George Bush is and was a humble man. Obama thinks the world counts on him and him alone to lead us.  Bush went to church and prayed often.  Obama puts out press releases about his supposed piety. The left sold a great bill of goods to the American people claiming that Bush, et al. were arrogant while insisting that Obama was a “man of the people.”

The 65th Anniversary of D-Day is fast approaching.  Barack Obama will attend the events on June 6th as George Bush did in 2004 for the sixtieth memorial service.  Here is the rub, as of now Obama’s State Department has asked (read demanded) the French government not allow tour guide services to operate that day. It is a big day for Normandy tourism. Yet, the king will not allow those not connected with government to enjoy the day.  Obama is very important you know.  This is an unprecedented request.  I hope the French come to their senses and deny it.

Compare that with 2004.  Security was tight as President Bush and other world leaders were in attendance, but the event was still open to all.  A friend relayed the story of waiting in line to use a port-a-potty (a French port-a-potty no doubt, yuck, believe me.)  She looks to her left and who he is in the next line waiting patiently?  President Bush.  Sure he had Secret Service nearby, but he waited like everyone else.

Contrast that with Team Obama not even allowing regular people near Colleville-Sur-Mer that day.   A shame indeed.  Especially as the last of our WW II vets are expiring.

Slowly people will see the whole truth.

It is unbelievable what he has already done.  Who is really advising this man?Maybe his advisors want to try passive/aggression for what  the French Leader said about what a weakling Obama is  .They all  laugh behind his back.  Actually it's not passive;  with the economy they need this income.  Oh to watch this is so painful.

BIG DEAL! the man's anti-God too.........

Just wait and see what happens when Washington,s Messiah entices Israel into that twisted two state solution.  Mark my words, the events (judgments) that will soon follow this insane act will make the terrorists attacks on 911 and those devastating hurricanes Katrina and Rita pail by comparisons. Even the devastation caused by Mount St. Helens will resemble a firecracker in comparisons to the eruption of just one super volcano "Yellowstone"

For Christ sake people, we can't fight deadly plagues, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, monster hurricanes, F1- F10 tornadoes, or highly destructive super storms packing 500 mph winds with are pitiful outdated arsenal of bullets and nuclear missiles.

that's one conflict the United States (superpower) has already lost..........
