D-Day

June 4 was the 69th anniversary of the Battle of Midway as well. Every year the number of men from that war gets smaller and smaller.

Obama Takes a Pass on Marking D-Day

President Obama this year failed once again to commemorate D-Day, a missed opportunity to honor U.S. soldiers past and present while burnishing his political standing as a war leader.

Obama did not issue even a written statement or proclamation on D-Day either this year or last. He delivered a speech in Normandy, France in 2009 on the 65th anniversary of D-Day, following a tradition of presidential speeches every five-year anniversary of the battle.

No commercial or political value. Good news is the Android is outpacing the iPhone...

And finally, as people around the world imagine a different future, the story of Germany and our alliance in the 20th century shows what’s possible in the 21st. Wars can end. Adversaries can become allies. Walls can come down. At long last, nations can be whole and can be free.

Madam Chancellor, the arc of our lives speaks to this spirit. It’s obvious that neither of us looks exactly like the leaders who preceded us. (Laughter and applause.) But the fact that we can stand here today as President of the United States and as Chancellor of a united Germany is a testament to the progress, the freedom, that is possible in our world.

Maybe doesn't want to pi$$ of the Germans... 😱
