Good. Obama doesnt deserve to be in the same graveyard as the WW2 dead, or on Omaha Beach. Saves us having to listen to him read mealymouthed, hypocritical platitudes while Michelle stands around, splaylegged, dressed in the hotel bedspread. That is too good.

Obama doesn’t want to iritate the nazi sympathizers. Arafat’s uncle alligned with Hitler to eradicate the Jews.
This man is bringing shame on our nation.

Indeed. BO is a clueless, classless, unappreciative, America loathing dolt. I hope he NEVER walks the hallowed ground in Normandy.

Barack Obama rejects Normandy trip to avoid offending GermanyWould he reject going to Hiroshima to avoid offending Japan.....
.....No, he would go to say that he thinks America was wrong to drop the bomb.

But the worst offense was to our Military...with Obama not even making a stop to pay honor to the Americans who gave their lives in WWII, buried thereWhich of course is exactly the real reason, not the bushwa put out by the mushpeddlers.
To: CitizenM
There are many legitimate reasons for a President might not make a stop at Normandy on a trip to multiple European cities. However, to give the reason as “not to offend the Germans” is idiotic. But it’s the Obama White House, nothing like this should surprise us.
I really which someone would post a countdown clock to the next presidential election. I could use a morale booster right now.

Correct! I’m glad he’s not going. He doesn’t belong there.

To: autumnraine
I do not imagine that it has crossed Mr. Obama’s mind that were it not for the sacrifices of American soldiers, he would not possess the freedom to gallivant about Europe apologizing for America. To rise above mere detestation of our presumptive leader at a moment like this requires an effort that pales in comparison to theirs.

0bama doesn’t give a darned about the sacrifices made for our liberty. He is completely out of touch with history, with dignity, and with honor.
What I don’t get - how can the American people be so absolutely stupid as to continue to support this absolute disaster?
To: CitizenM
Not on the apology tour itinerary.

No, he would go to say that he thinks America was wrong to drop the bomb. You know, the odds are better than even that if he goes to Japan he will do that very thing given his statements re nuclear disarmament.

Thank you all very much! Please tip the FReepathon ;-).
Bill Clinton’s scene with the rocks on the beach was unspeakable, but B.O. would be worse. Suppose he decided it was time to apologize for the United States’s unwarranted intrusion into the affairs of Europe?

To: Pride in the USA; Stillwaters
The most ignorant, offensive, treasonous b*stard to have ever served as the Commander-in-Chief. The Obamessiah administration has the audacity to say that paying respects to the gravesites of over 9,000 of the most heroic men to have ever died for our nation would be pandering to France! I trust that our active and reserve military forces take careful note of such reports.
"We went through the motions to placate President Sarkozy but giving special treatment to France was not on our agenda..."

Thank God the Commander-in-Thief didn't go to the military cemetery. It would just provide him another kumbaya photo-op akin to kissing the @$$e$ of our enemies and pissing on these brave men's graves!
I never thought we would see another President as despicable as Bubba, but I think we've found him.
