Obama marks D-Day in France
(Excerpt) Read more at interactive.foxnews.com ...
That is/was the most pro-American speech I’ve ever heard a French president deliver in my lifetime!
Sarkozy did not say 'me' or 'I' once in his speech. I'm sure BHO will find some way to make the D-Day invasion about him somehow.
We will probably learn that he had a grandma that was a nurse on a hospital ship in the channel.
Hussein will soon educate all of us as to how American Muslims were the most prominent, most courageous, most honorable of those who gave it all at Normandy.
It was a great speech. (a few liberal things thrown in -climate change, etc, - but a great speech)
speaking of that...I give to you one of the finest posts I ever saw online.

What a great movie that would make.
Agreed.
If I were in charge of anything, I’d make movies of every single important WWII battle, while we still have people alive who were participants.
One of the great tv shows that no one except me ever watches, is War Stories by Oliver North.
I highly recommend it.
Now wait, Obama is going to speak. Let me see how he takes credit for conquering Normandy. What a schmuck.
sarkozy was magnificent!! THE ONE is reciting a speech someone else wrote, about diversity and serving different Gods....funny, the opening prayer was quite evangelical.
Is there anything on the planet that is not about him?
He needs to look in the eyes of every veteran sitting there to understand just what sacrifice for something greater than self means.
my dad was there, normandy. he’s still alive, at 95. he cared for my mom after her stroke for 2 years, alone. still an old soldier, he never complained. said it was his mission.
“No, you aren’t the first president to speak.”
But you are surely the dumbest to speak!
well, fellow Freepers, keep posting while the Idiot speaks,as I will not have the volume on... just can’t stomach him on this day.
Well, its one of the least offensive of his speeches so far. He at least has his facts correct about the invasion. And he DID mention a grandfather and an uncle. Geez, even Sarkozy didn’t make the invasion about him.
God bless your dad. How lucky you are to still have him.
Please let him know that for some of us (and I suspect many here on FreeRepublic) that EVERY day is Veteran’s Day.
And one more thing (if it isn’t too much bother)...please tell him he didn’t fight and suffer in vain. He passed the baton to us. And while things seem troubling now, please tell him for me:
We are NOT going to let him down.
Awesome! Some D-Day vets are getting the French Legion of Honeur! They should all receive it.
All European Life Died In Auschwitz
By Sebastian Vivar Rodriguez - Spanish Writer, November 21, 2004.
I walked down the street in Barcelona, and suddenly discovered a terrible truth Europe died in Auschwitz.
We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims.
In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world.
The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world. These are the people we burned.
And under the pretence of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride.
They have turned our beautiful Spanish cities into the third world, drowning in filth and crime.
Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naive hosts.
And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition.
We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their talent for hoping for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our children and theirs.
What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe.
can’t say it better than that, I’m afraid.
And I read something earlier today that said NYC will be more like Mexico City in about 2 years.
meh
Why wasn’t Queen Elizabeth invited? This seems nuts!
