Its D-Day and President Obama is hitting the beaches of sunny California! Instead of scheduling a brief event to mark the 68th anniversary of Americas 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. Shell be in New York City for a fundraiser and then in Philadelphia to meet with campaign volunteers.
Obamas failure to mark D-Day in any significant way is both a shame and a political mistake.
According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, two critical swing states Florida and Pennsylvania, are among the top five states in terms of veterans population. Within the top twelve are four others Michigan, Ohio, Virginia and North Carolina all states Obama desperately needs to carry.
