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.
As the Bamsters unemployment rate pushes 10% (double the Bush average) and his 3.5 trillion dollar budget breaks the USA (the press of course focuses on his 17 billion in “savings.” Way to go 4th Estate.), Obama has more to worry about then denying people the right to attend a memorial service on June 6th.
It’s as if Obama has to let it be known that he is more important than honoring the events and the 9,387 mostly young Americans who died invading Normandy 65 years ago. Will Obama apologize for American actions during WW II at the event?
I think the following quote from Obama himself sums it all up: “a light will shine down from somewhere…. You will experience an epiphany. And you will say to yourself, ‘I have to vote for Barack.’” Watch for yourself:
The guy can’t even bring himself to say “shine down from heaven.” Do you really expect him to line up to use the can with the commoners at a Normandy celebration? Americans may start to miss the guy with the humility.
Universal Healthcare, unchecked unions, government run banks, government run autos, cap and trade, turning the 20 million undocumented Democrats into voters: That isn’t America and it surely isn’t what those young boys died at Normandy for.
We elected a fairy tale. We can start the road back to reality in 2010 with the mid-term elections.

Untrue. I think everyone who would like to attend shoud.

I know that religious discussion to some may be taboo so forgive me in advance. And though I am a religious person I'm not a zealot. That being said, I wonder how many of you have ever done any reading about the coming of the Anti-Christ? No, I'm not saying Obama is the Anti-Christ but I had a thought about this subject. The Bible says that millions will be fooled or lead astray even some of the "elect" will fall victim to his charm. Well though Obama's not the AC I think he lends some creditability to this Biblical prophecy. Million of Americans so easily have flocked to B.O. despite numerous warning signs and despite being informed time after time. His apparent charm and the fact that he's willing to tell the masses exactly what they want to hear have lead many well meaning voters astray. Could this be just a prelude for what is to come?

I understand where you are comming from. I too watch the signs. I think all these measures of oppression are setting in motion the end events. I don't think they have a religious section her per se. However, I do.

very true. he now decides to go, but wants the place all for himself.
Ah, the veterans are coming.
Quote:
“We will also invite American veterans, so they can see that the French people have not forgotten them,” said the French president, speaking on the sidelines of a ceremony to mark the Allied Victory in Europe on May 8, 1945.
Maybe he doesn't want the whole thing made into a spectacle with people gawking at him instead of honoring the occasion.
