He hates this Country, he hates the majority of the people who live here, and he feels the need to "apologize" for our "mistakes"!! He is a disgrace to our Nation. |

Got an update thanks to NBC
So why didn't Obama go to visit the wounded troops in Germany ?
*** UPDATE *** From NBC's Jim Miklaszewski and Courtney Kube
A U.S. military official tells NBC News they were making preparations for Sen. Barack Obama to visit wounded troops at the Landstuhl Medical Center at Ramstein, Germany on Friday, but "for some reason the visit was called off." One military official who was working on the Obama visit said because political candidates are prohibited from using military installations as campaign backdrops, Obama's representatives were told, "he could only bring two or three of his Senate staff member, no campaign officials or workers." In addition, "Obama could not bring any media. Only military photographers would be permitted to record Obama's visit." The official said "We didn't know why" the request to visit the wounded troops was withdrawn. "He (Obama) was more than welcome. We were all ready for him." If there's no photo-op ,Obama won't stop. |

He should stick with the public appearances, the European's love his liberal style.
Our troops however, are not impressed, and I expect the welcome from them is not nearly as warm as he would like. The last thing he wants to do, is to have to answer any questions from the guys actually fighting for his right, to the freedoms he is enjoying. |

Obama didn't exactly wow everyone... he managed to stir up suspicions as well.
Munich's Sueddeutsche Zeitung sounded a more cautious note, warning that an Obama presidency would be "expensive for Germany."
"He explicitly called for German soldiers for Afghanistan -- he did not say 'more soldiers' but that was what he meant," said commentator Reymer Kluever. "And Obama also indicated this: he will want support as president to wind up the Iraq adventure." The paper noted too that the speech had been intended less for the crowds gathered in Berlin's Tiergarten park than for "hesitant white voters in Ohio and Pennsylvania, Colorado and Virginia" and said that Obama had proved himself to be a clever tactician, capable of shifting positions to suit his audience. "He wants to convince (voters) that the world will also listen to a black president... And there's one other thing one shouldn't forget when talking about Obama: He easily reworks even positions that have been written in stone and adjusts to new requirements."
“Let me just remind everyone that I’m not the president. I’m a United States Senator. I’m a candidate for president. There’s a wonderful tradition that’s not always observed, but I think it’s a good one. You don’t spend time criticizing a president of the United States when you are overseas.”

Well according to CNN it was the Pentagon that asked Obama not to visit the wounded troops not basketball. So everyone hurry and Google some more BS about Obama so you can feel better about yourself for a day.

That would have been the honorable and manly thing to do, instead of trying to claim that he was "asked not to visit". |
