Obama Disses Our WOUNDED Troops

This is just infuriating.

Hey folks,

Yeah, I know it's Saturday, I know I'm not supposed to be here. But THIS just pissed me off. Sorry, but it did. I'm getting so tire of the Media falling all over Obama to the point it seems as if they are lusting after him. Like little puppies, they are following him around and panting. They are just waiting for the next perils of ignorance, uh, I mean, uh, uh, you know, uh, and, uh, wisdom. They do not DARE criticize what has REALLY and TRULY become their Messiah. I have pretty much left this alone. We all know the Mainstream Media usually goes for the Liberal running anyway, they, most, are controlled by a Lib. George Soros. But this time, Obama went too far.

We all know he does not care about those of you that cling to your guns and God. We all know that he wanted to lose the war. We all know he has said that he wants to cut the military budget, end the "Star Wars" defense system. We all know he has said he will invade our FREINDS and meet with our enemies without preconditions. We all KNOW he does not care about YOU. Even some Democrats have called him further Left and more of a Liberal than Ted Kennedy. That is saying something. But this?

This is an outright dis. What Obama did is go all over the Middle East, and Europe, claiming to be a "Citizen of the World" and imitate Reagan, give GREAT pre-written speeches and in essence, put down America. But then he decides that the Wounded American Troops were not worthy of his presence.

According to AOL News- Obama Cancels Visit to Military Hospital By Mark Impomeni

One casualty of Sen. Barack Obama's busy schedule on his foreign trip was a planned visit to the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, a U.S. military hospital located at the U.S. air base in Ramstein, Germany. The cancellation left Obama with a gap in his official schedule this morning in Berlin before he boarded a plane to fly to Paris for a five-hour stop over en route to London. Obama was to visit with troops receiving treatment for wounds inflicted in Iraq and Afghanistan at Landstuhl. Now, the cancellation, and the Obama campaign's shifting explanations for it, are raising questions.

Obama adviser Robert Gibbs initially said that the visit was canceled because the campaign thought, "it would be inappropriate to make a stop to visit troops at a U.S. military facility as part of a trip funded by the campaign." That remark drew sharp criticism from Sen. John McCain, who said, "Barack Obama is wrong. It is never inappropriate to visit our men and women in the military." The McCain campaign also pointed out the Sen. McCain paid a visit to wounded troops on his last trip to Iraq. In response to increased questioning on the cancellation from the press, and perhaps to Sen. McCain's criticism, the Obama campaign later said that it was the military that requested that Obama not make the trip to the base. "We learned from the Pentagon last night that the visit would be viewed instead as a campaign event," a campaign adviser said.

But the military is disputing that explanation. A spokesman for the base told NBC News that the base was prepared to host Sen. Obama, as long as some conditions were met.

"He could only bring two or three of his Senate staff member, no campaign officials or workers. Obama could not bring any media. Only military photographers would be permitted to record Obama's visit.

We didn't know why [the trip was canceled]. He was more than welcome. We were all ready for him."

Obama's campaign has steadfastly refuted the characterization of his trip as political. But the campaign's original explanation for removing the military hospital stop was based on the perception that the visit would be viewed as political. This is a pretty serious mistake by the campaign. The controversy will have no impact on the leaders and crowds Obama will encounter on the remainder of his trip. But it will resonate in the United States, and especially among those whom the trip was intended to convince that Sen. Obama had the experience to be the leader of the free world. Furthermore, the shifting explanations for the cancellation will cause the press to be more skeptical of the campaign's statements. That is something no candidate can afford, much less one who has enjoyed a largely uncritical relationship with the mainstream press.

So could it be as simple as the fact he was denied a photo op by his buddies in the media? They could not take picture of their Messiah shaking hands with our WOUNDED Soldiers? So he said Hell no, I won't go. and moved on to the next pre-written speech.

This just completely disgusts me. Seriously. Obama is nothing more than a puppet. Meeting with the troops did not fit the agenda. The Template. It would not be good for those that hate the war, and look down on our Troops. You know, the LWL.

Do you REALLY want this idiot being the Commander and Chief? The Leader of the Free World? One with complete and total control over your safety, security, and everyday lives? Think about that.
