Paris: The City of Love for Obamas


Ah....Paris. A city I always wanted to go to when I was growing up. I imagined myself in a beret sipping coffee in a sidewalk cafe on the Champs-Elysses while sidewalk artists plied a living and young lovers gazed lovingly into each other's eyes. The dreams we have as children.

The Obamas took the opportunity to dine at Le Fontaine de Mars and take a ride along the Left Bank of the Seine before heading back to the U.S. Embassy where their daughters were waiting. Why don't you ever see them doing things as a family? I guess their second date in as many weeks was interrupted by that pesky D-Day thing.

The elitist mentality of these two is staggering. And who do you think paid for it??? Check your pay stubs next payday.

As for my husband and I, we'll never have Paris.

Remembering D-Day

Tomorrow marks the 65th anniversary of the Allied invasion at Normandy to shift World War II back into the control of freedom-loving people and to free the European people from the dictatorship of Hitler. These brave troops gave the ultimate sacrifice so that people they had never met were free. We should forever be grateful to them.

A ceremony tomorrow will be attended by Obama, Sarkozy, Canadian and British prime ministers, and Prince Charles. I wonder how the Muslim community will react to Obama's acknowledgment of the Holocaust being that they will deny it until the day they die.

To those who were there on that beach fighting 65 years ago, thank you and God Bless you. To the families of those who died there, rest assured that the memory of the sacrifice your loved ones gave will never die. We owe them much more than what they gave.
