Obama Not Scheduled to Commemorate D-Day
by KEITH KOFFLER June 6, 2012
It's D-Day and President Obama is hitting the beaches - of sunny California!
Instead of scheduling a brief event to mark the 68th anniversary of America's brutal landing on the shores of Normandy, Obama is already on his way to San Francisco, where he will hold two fundraisers before moving on to Beverly Hills to stage two more.
Obama failed to mark D-Day with either a speech or a written proclamation both last year or the year before. He did give a speech in 2009, the 65th anniversary of the event.
First Lady Michelle Obama, who has made much of her "Joining Forces" campaign to support military families, also has nothing planned for D-Day. She'll be in New York City for a fundraiser and then in Philadelphia to meet with campaign volunteers.

The writers at the Associated Press hate to break it to you, but the House today passed the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. Seeing as breaking the news is their job, though, they went out of their way to highlight that the House is dominated by the GOP, and the Republicans’ latest anti-abortion legislation is even […]
Nancy Pelosi spaces out on year of first American woman in space
June 18, 2013 08:01 PM
We all know that math is hard for the Democrats, but Twitter couldn’t resist fact-checking Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s tweet honoring the 50th anniversary of Sally Ride’s historic Challenger flight. The 20-year error was difficult to let slide, now that the Democrat leadership has suddenly started counting the days since a budget was passed. @NancyPelosi @NASA […]
