McCain rips Obama for not visiting wounded troops

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON -- John McCain's campaign Saturday sharply criticized Barack Obama for canceling a visit to wounded troops in Germany last week, contending Obama chose foreign leaders and cheering Europeans over ''injured American heroes.''
Obama's campaign called the accusation ''wildly inappropriate.'' His spokesman has claimed that the visit to a military hospital in Germany was scrapped after the Pentagon raised concerns about political activity on a military base. Earlier, the campaign had said Obama decided the visit might be seen as inappropriate politicking. The Pentagon said the senator was never told not to visit.
A new McCain ad that began airing Saturday also chides Obama as disrespectful for making ''time to go to the gym'' but canceling a visit with wounded troops. ''Seems the Pentagon wouldn't allow him to bring cameras,'' the ad says. ''John McCain is always there for our troops.''
In an interview to be aired today by ABC's ''This Week," McCain says: "If I had been told by the Pentagon that I couldn't visit those troops, and I was there and wanted to be there, I guarantee you, there would have been a seismic event.''
Obama campaign spokesman Tommy Vietor said Obama and McCain both believed that troops should be honored and noted that Obama had visited troops in Iraq and Afghanistan last week and had made numerous trips to Washington's Walter Reed Army Medical Center. ''Senator McCain knows full well that Senator Obama strongly supports and honors our troops, which is what makes this attack so disingenuous. This politicization of our soldiers is exactly what Senator Obama sought to avoid,'' Vietor said.
over my head? you are an idiot. Keep those thumbs kicking, douche. There is no way in hell you could make it in this world without them, idiot.
sorry, I think that failed to say something. IO, you are the biggest fvcking idiot on this site. I know that you are impressed with yourself, but nature has a way of weeding you out. That is why you are a 40 something loser with no kids. Imagine that. Mother Nature has no interest in you reproducing. Go figure. Now go fvck yourself idiot.

The pentagon pulled a fast one on Barrick and McCain knows this but he is desperate and also despicable to run with this bullshit. Can someone ask the Song Bird to get back to the issues or is he gonna play this game and go after the lowly informed vote the rest of the way? I see the right wing slime machine already plucked the usual pigeons in this thread :mj07:
