The Longest Day - Forgotten

Yesterday was the 69th anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1944. Huge numbers of Americans, Brits, Canadians and others assaulted Hitler's Atlantic Wall and kicked the door to Europe open again. It was the beginning of the end for Hitler and the Nazi regime. 

Yesterday, President Obama totally ignored this heroic sacrifice. Completely. Zip. Nada. He did remember to issue a statement congratulating Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.) as the longest serving member of Congress. As to D-Day, Hillary Clinton might frame it, "What difference could it possibly make?" Apparently Obama agrees. He has not mentioned D-Day since 2010. One difference that comes immediately to mind is that we probably would not have an African-American President and German would be the mother tongue, but hey, whatever!
