Yet more lame leadership from Obama.
Instead of commemorating the 66th Anniversary of D Day, Obama chose to celebrate July 4th at Ford's theater for a TV special.
President Obama is leading the country in two wars three if you count the global war on terror so youd think he would be pretty focused on military matters. But not enough, apparently, to remember one of the bloodiest and most heroic days in U.S. military history.
Yesterday of course was the 66th anniversary of D-Day, when U.S. and British troops trudged gallantly onto beaches of Normandy under remorseless German fire perhaps even more intense than that incurred by Secretary of State Clinton from Serb snipers in Bosnia.
But there was not a mention of the day by Obama; not even a press release or an eek on the White House blog.
Instead of commemorating June 6, the president PRETENDED it was July 4, heading over to Fords Theater to witness a performance, titled America Celebrates July 4th at Fords Theatre. The event was taped for broadcast to air, oddly, on July 2 on ABC.
After all, it was exactly 234 years ago that a group of patriots farmers and merchants, lawyers, physicians pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to an improbable experiment called America, Obama said...

I would have said that this was unbelievable, but sadly, it is the expected MO from this Unpresidential President.
