This week’s podcast is ready, also available on ITunes, as well as RSS feed. Subjects include… Week Ending 6-6-09: D-Day at 65; Dr. Tiller’s Murder; Obama in Cairo, with Clinton; the Liz Cheney Media Blitz; McChrystal and 1,000 new Special Ops for Afghanistan.
Pres. Obama in his weekly radio address stressed the importance of getting health care reform passed. Something that is important and on many minds around here.
The week culminated today in D-Day ceremonies that were unbelievably moving, made more so because Pres. Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama make us all so proud. I seem to never make it through a playing of “Taps” without having to hold back tears. Coupled with the story Pres. Obama told about the one D-Day veteran who made it to see the beaches where he landed one last time, and then when he went to bed that night died in his sleep. Seeing combined Air Forces of our countries flie overhead, one peeling off, it just hits home so deeply. I’d like to just mention someone, my brother-in-law’s father, Mr. B.D. Simon, who is still alive and living in Missouri, who was one of those men who made a difference and is now in his 90s, sending a silent meditation to Uncle Dick, too. Hoo-rah goes out to my big bro as well, who, if JFK hadn’t prevailed, might have ended up landing in Cuba.
It’s been quite a week. …and don’t forget Secretary Clinton will be on “This Week” with George Stephanopoulos tomorrow, her first interview since joining President Obama’s Cabinet.
