Obama’s Memorial Day speech rained out

ELWOOD, Ill. – A violent thunderstorm rolled in just as President Barack Obama was to address hundreds of guests at a Memorial Day ceremony at Lincoln National Cemetery, prompting the Secret Service to pull the president from the event amid fear for his safety.

Obama, who was huddled under a white tent off to the side of the stage as the rain drove down, walked to a soaked podium holding a black umbrella, and told the service members and their families who had gathered on the grass to return to their cars for cover.

Maybe he should have gone to Arlington.
