Fox News’ Molly Henneberg: “Tucker joins us from Virginia. So Tucker, Senator Obama decided to not to visit wounded soldiers in Germany when he was there, and this has not gone unnoticed by the McCain campaign. In fact, just a couple of minutes ago on my Blackberry, I got a new statement from your campaign, from a military advisor, Lt. Col. Joe Repya. He says, this is quoting, ‘For a young man so apt at playing president, Barack Obama badly misjudged the important demands of the office he seeks. Visiting with world leaders and speeches to cheering Europeans should not be a substitute for comforting injured American heroes.’ So you guys think he really made a significant mistake by not going to Landstuhl Medical Center in Germany?”
Tucker Bounds: “It is significant and I think what is most significant about it, Molly, is it speaks to his judgment. He prioritizes throngs of fawning Germans over meeting with wounded combat troops in Germany. And, you know, it really speaks to the experience that Barack Obama lacks. This is a serious position he runs to fill, and he needs to understand exactly where his role is and how important it is to lead as the commander-in-chief.”
Henneberg: “Now, the Obama campaign says they didn’t want to do it for political purposes, but you were telling me earlier that your campaign wouldn’t have criticized him even if he had gone?”
Bounds: “No, that’s right Molly. I think there have been nine different excuses out of Barack Obama’s campaign as to why that trip and that visit never took place, and all of them fundamentally ignore one fact, which is that he couldn’t make time in his schedule to meet with wounded combat troops who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. And it speaks again to the judgment of the candidate that’s running to be the Commander-in-Chief of our military.”
Well, all I can say is that I’m glad somebody ELSE agrees with this!
Obama always calls things “wildly inappropriate” if McCain says anything that reflects the real Barky Obama. Barky Obama should know rules otherwise it proves he isn’t capable and mature enough to be president. Barky Obama started playing the race card now he wants to win foreign countries attention,but Barky has forgotten France and Germany can’t vote in November’s General Election…. But of course, Barky Obama said he visited 57 states not remembering the United States has 50 and the States of Islam has 57…. Such a nutt case is Barky Obama!!!!!!!!!!!
Germany and France refused support when we ask them.
America will remember in November!
Do you seriously expect Germany and France to support a cause that is fundamentally wrong, such as the stupid wars that the US wage in Iraq and Afghanistan? I suggest you start considering if killing people is the right thing to do before you talk about fawning Germans? Obama is definitely much more popular in Europe than McCain, and for good reasons.
Obama writes the ads for McCain.
Check out this article on Riverdaughter — Obama — the Narcissist — going to the hospital without the court ass-kissers would have been too much for bamaling. Because it wouldn’t have been ALL about BOBO-bamaling.

Obama on canceled visit to troops: He didn’t want them caught in political ‘crossfire’
Someone needs to start a web page chronicling Obama’s lies. Obama tells so many lies (and flip-flops), it would probably take an entire staff to keep up with all of them.
Christ, I can just see him sweating as he answered that question. It should have bee answered in a couple of short sentences; instead, we get a dissertation. Bearing false witness will be his undoing (well, the picture in front of #10 Downing street won’t help, either).
BO propensity to use 100 words where 10 would do reminds me of Churchill’s famous put-down in the House of Commons:
“The Honourable Memeber opposite is intoxicated by the exuberance of his own verbosity”
What an eloquent putdown. We need more Churchills.
Actually, theobamafile,obama-wire and audacityof hypocrisy are doing a good job keeping track.
Mind you it is hard to keep up with BO - there are so many outright lies.
A very unwise omission by Mr O, and I dare say it will go down poorly “in all fifty-seven states.”
“Obama tells so many lies (and flip-flops), it would probably take an entire staff to keep up with all of them.”
We could staff 7 extra states the size of Texas just to work on that assignment.
If Oblahblah uses the term “we” one more time, I’ll blow chunks. Who is he kidding with the use of the “royal we”? Does he need company when making a decision/giving an explanation? I suppose he’s including the voices in his head as part of the decision-making process.
He thinks he’s Queen Victoria.
We are not amused.
ROFL
Did he and his handlers all graduate for the ACME scool of political science?
These fools make the roadrunner look intelligent.
COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY ALWAYS
PUMA RULES
EXCUSE ME
I ment Wylie Cayote not the roadrunner.
When this is all over, we’ll have to have the progressives’ heads examined.
Democratic Follies

Perry you may be right.
He (BO) like W refuse to elevate their personalities to fit into the CIC role. (protocol, protocol, protocol)
They may have not respected the military BEFORE CIC but they DAMN WELL better be the BEST CIC CHEERLEADER once becoming or applying for the job!
He keeps trying to do it like HE SMUGLY wants to do it. Or should I say like mamma Michelle would want him to do it. He needs the praise from HER above all else!
Hey Perry, saw some of you videos — like the one where you take these new young voters to task. They really screwed up and where are their parents, ha?
Obama,” what! no photo ops?? no staff??? don’t they know I’m commander in chief?? We can’t vet the patients so there are only supporters of ME THERE! I’M NOT GOING! THEY WILL PROLLY VOTE FOR MCAIN ! SCREW ‘EM! LET’S GO HAVE SOME MARTINIS!”
Yes, these vets already have me figured out. They know I hate my country. I have a whole country fool of suckers that love me.
Obama says that he doesn’t take reporters and photographers with him for events like visiting the hospital??? What bullsh*t! Has he ever missed an opportunity to document his “greatness” (even to the extent of supplying the adoring crowds)? Maybe that is the real reason he brushed off the soldiers. There was no room for his worshipers.
