Obama Campaigns in Puerto Rico
With 55 pledged delegates at stake June 1, Barack Obama campaigned in the U.S. territory today, where he held a town hall with Puerto Rican veterans in Bayamon. There are 150,000 veterans in Puerto Rico - 35 have died in the war in Iraq.
When one of the assembled vets noted they don’t have a voice in Washington, Obama responded, “We don’t want to get too political here on the issues that are obviously so controversial here in Puerto Rico, but what I will say is that I am absolutely committed to making sure that Puerto Rico has the right to make a decision and to have self determination when it comes to its status, and making decisions about how they’re interacting with Congress and the President of the United States. In the meantime, I will make sure that you are represented in these issues.”
Later, he will lead a caminata - a traditional march - through the streets of Old San Juan.
Read Obama’s prepared remarks after the jump.
It’s fitting to be here today – not just because Memorial Day is around the corner, but because Puerto Ricans are such an important part of the United States military. On this island and in Puerto Rican neighborhoods across America, you can go into almost any home and find a veteran living there – or a photograph of a loved one in uniform hanging on the wall.
It reflects a tradition of service and sacrifice that’s run through our history from the very beginning – ever since Puerto Ricans fought with Boston militiamen to defeat the British Empire. It was the 65th Infantry – the Borinqueneers – that fought with my grandfather to free a continent from fascism and whose valor in Korea led MacArthur to say he wished he had more troops like them. And today, it is this island that’s sending more of its sons and daughters to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan than nearly anyplace else in our nation.
Yours is a proud heritage. And on Monday, we will honor the thirty-five heroes from this island – and the heroes from across America – who have given their lives in Iraq and in all our nation’s wars. And we will honor the sacrifice our troops are making each day on our behalf.
But we must never forget that honoring our fighting men and women requires more than just paying tribute to them on Memorial Day. It requires having civilian leadership that’s serving our troops as well as they’re serving us – and that means leadership that shows good judgment about when to deploy them. Because it didn’t serve our troops well to go to war in Iraq without asking the tough questions first; or to send them to fight without the support to defend themselves and secure the peace. It didn’t serve our troops well to launch a war based more on ideology and politics than on any urgent threat to our nation. And that is why I opposed the Iraq war from the start.
It’s time to end this war so we can finish the fight against al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan and combat the other threats of the 21st Century – and we need to combat them not with tough talk or bluster, but with tough diplomacy and strong alliances. That’s the kind of leadership our troops deserve. And that’s the kind of leadership I will offer as Commander-in-Chief.
But America’s obligation to our servicemen and women does not end when they take off the uniform. We have a sacred trust with our veterans and we have to keep it. The other day, we had a chance to do this. There was a bill up for a vote in the Senate called the 21st Century GI Bill that would help make college affordable for today’s veterans without harming retention rates. This bill was proposed by my friend Senator Jim Webb, a Marine himself, and by leaders of both parties. It’s designed to update the original GI Bill that gave veterans like my grandfather the chance to go to college after World War II.
Thanks to bipartisan support, the bill passed by a vote of 75 to 22. But one of the people opposing it was John McCain. Now, let me be clear, no one can dispute John McCain’s love for this country. But here’s what I don’t understand. I don’t understand why John McCain would side with George Bush and oppose our plan to make college more affordable for our veterans. George Bush and John McCain may think our plan is too generous, but I could not disagree more. Putting a college degree within reach for our veterans isn’t being too generous; it’s the least we can do for our heroes. And I will continue to fight in the months to come to give those who have defended America the chance to achieve its dream.
But there is so much more work that has to be done for our veterans. Just look at the VA hospital here in San Juan. This hospital was built nearly four decades ago and is in desperate need of renovations and repairs. There’s not enough room. It’s not designed to help women veterans. And it’s not well-equipped to provide care if you’re paralyzed or disabled. That’s unacceptable. When I’m President, we’ll review what’s wrong with your VA hospital and all our VA hospitals and solve any problems we find swiftly. We need to make sure that the veterans here in San Juan are getting the same quality care as veterans in Chicago and across the 50 states – and that those who have worn the uniform of the United States of America are being treated with the respect and dignity they have earned.
That’s why I’ve pledged to build a 21st century VA as President. It means fixing our system so it works not just for servicemen, but for service-women. It means no more red tape – it’s time to give every service-member electronic copies of medical and service records upon discharge. It means no more shortfalls – we’ll fully fund VA health care. It means no more delays – we’ll pass on-time budgets. It means no more means-testing – it’s time to allow every veteran into the VA system. It means making sure our veterans are laid to rest with honor. And it means continuing the work I’ve begun on the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee and having a policy of a zero tolerance for veterans sleeping on our streets.
I’ll also build on the work I did in the Senate to confront one of the signature injuries of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan – PTSD. A recent study by the Rand Corporation found that because of inadequate mental health care, the number of suicides among veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan may actually exceed the number of combat deaths. And yet, the other day, we found out that a VA psychologist actually instructed her staff to refrain from making PTSD diagnosis because it was costing the government too much money. Costing our government too much money. Think about that. How many veterans might be going without the care they need? How many are slipping through the cracks?
We are a better nation than this. And we have to do better than this. In the Senate, I’ve helped lead a bipartisan effort to stop the unfair practice of kicking out troops who suffer from PTSD. And when I’m President, we’ll enhance mental health screening and treatment at all levels: from enlistment, to deployment, to reentry into civilian life. We’ll bring on more mental health professionals, and give them more training to recognize the signs of illness and we’ll help dispel the stigma of seeking care.
I refuse to accept that in the United States of America, we can’t serve all our veterans as well as they’re serving us. I refuse to accept that we have to let veterans go without the care they need or fall into homelessness. I refuse to accept that veterans here in Puerto Rico have to be treated with less priority or receive a lower standard of care than veterans anyplace else.
I believe in an America that stands by those who’ve worn its uniform the way it stood by my grandfather after World War II, that keeps its sacred trust with our veterans, and lives up to the creed of the legendary 65th, the Borinqueneers– honor y fidelidad. We must always remember that we honor our highest ideals by honoring the men and women who have sacrificed for them. That’s the work that lies before us, and that’s what I’ll do each day as President of the United States. I’m asking you to hope, and I’m asking you to help. Su voto es decisivo. Juntos, podemos cambiar el mund. Muchas gracias.

“There was a bill up for a vote in the Senate called the 21st Century GI Bill that would help make college affordable for today’s veterans without harming retention rates.”
Be careful Senator. The bill is estimated to reduce retention from 42% to 36%, a reduction of 14.3%; however, this reduction would be offset by a 16% increase in recruiting. And considering only 80% of new recruits have a diploma and 15% have criminal waivers the Webb bill is exactly what our military needs in the face of declining recruit quality.
Obama the Fraud, the flip flopper. Obama will say anything and do anything for votes. He has been flip flopping all through this forgein policy debate.
Obama is not using the bill to benifit the Vets, he is using it to get votes. If you read the whole post. He claims he is concerned for the Vets yet the bill to help the ones readjust to civilian life failed by 3 votes and one whas his. Where was he then? He states how he wants to give our men and women all they deserve for serving our country then goes on to say McCain, don’t get him wrong, McCain does care for the vets, but does not want to. You have to research the man.
Obama, has been fighting for Vets. since his early days , so for any of you to try to bash him on that I say shame on you.
My Brother fought in Iraq for 18 months, and is currently in Afgan. (for 10 months now)!!!! He has not seen my 18 month daughter, and we would like change!!!!
Barack Obama has a grandfather who told him as a kid the value of the Arm Forces, who faught for this country!!!! Obama has a RESPECT for the Troops do you?
Would someone please tell me how a woman rids herself of all this facial hair?
Good morning Jo Anne. Kind of a strange question for here but I know what your going through. I just use my husbands electric shaver but then you have to shave every day.
My name has been hijacked…AGAIN!
Please disregard any nonsensical comments made under my name, Holly’s name and Patty NJ’s name they are a product of ID theft.
We are not Obama supporters, as anyone on these blogs who has read our comments knows.
This makes us targets of GUERRILLA POLITICS.
If slurs or any other ridiculous comments are made under these names, please do not give relevance to the poster.
Jo Anne
It really sucks when you get all dressed up and you’ve got a dark mustache. It’s difficult to act sexy after you see that.
What are the chances of you women discussing your shaving tips some where else. Im starting to get a little queasy.
McCain’s Navy honors include the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Legion of Merit, Purple Heart, and the Distinguished Flying Cross.
Obama’s Service and/or Veteran honors = ZERO
McCain would Know More about what should be on the G.I. Bill than Obama who is “clueless” about service to our country. McCain makes Smart decisions for our G.I.s.

The same way you rid yourself of people who uses others ID”s you tell them to drop out. You don’t fool any one.
Obama is out of his league here. He should shut up while he has a chance. Next you will hear him say that he has more military experience than McCain because he played army while he was a child. Obama is a fraud. What you hear in one state is different than in the next state. In other words he will tell you what you want to hear and not the truth. And this is the change he wants to bring, how?
Jo Anne… I “knew” it was Not “you”.
First of all it is not Jo Anne it is a faker who can’t win a fight for Obama so they use others IDs.
Ted
After listening to these two woman discussing the disgusting, Im about ready to give up woman.
As for Obama supporting our Vets, go look up his votes on the issues of vets before this one.
told you so!!!!
this blogger below is actually using an experience obama had as a child to say he has experience. Go away. Obama can not be elected. especially after what will come out on Michelle Obama in October.

Didn’t that story about that Larry Sinclair person air on some wierd TV channel in Peuto Rico? I wonder what they think about it? If they believe his claims of drug use and you know…????
What in gods name would a woman want to discuss this turn-off stuff on a political blog. Disgusting.
First of all it is not these two women it is bungholes useing their names. So get sick of people coming on here and using others IDs to act like fools. If you watch you will be next. Just do not agree with Obama.
The fact is Obama doesn’t even like the military. Obama is so far left that his goal is to turn this country into a replica of communist Russia
The heck with you male pigs. Your lucky your not reading my last weeks problem—being constipated.
I am a Republican but will not vote for McCain this year. I was shocked with respect to his comment that Obama never bothered to serve. It is incredibly offensive that someone who was in the military to ever use such language when discussing the military.
McCain’s recent dumping of advisors and endorsements begs the question, why did he employ or accept them in the first place.
Obama , even with all of his faults and inexperience, is exactly what this country needs at this time.
David
My brother-inlaw faught in desert storm and served his country from 1970 until just a few years ago. He does not think the bill they just passed is all that great. It opens the dorr for any one to go in act too stupid to keep and get educated while the real Vets who serve their country and deserve the education gets the same as the jerk. Now that is a fair bill, reward the jerks with the men you want to honor.
Please stop pretending to be Jo Anne you are making your Obama candidate look cheap. It is cheap when you have to do anything to get people to vote your way.
If you follow these blogs you soon learn just how childish some of Obamas’ supporter are. Now that builds respect for the man. He has people acting like 4 and 5 year olds voting for him.
And when you attack a man for not caring for the very thing he is you get back what you give. Obama used his vote to sway Vets to vote for him and to use against Obama not to help the Vets. Look how quickly he made it to the media. Lightening doesn’t move that fast.
It looks like the Obama supporters having nothing left but to steal peoples identities to build up their sorry candidate. The person blogging as Jo Anne is what is left of the mentality of the Obama supporters.
against McCain not Obama. Look how he ran to the press to say I voted yes and McCain is not supporting all you service men and women. See I’m looking out for you not McCain. Vote for me. I got your back.
Hi Folks.
My name is hijacked on a lot of blogs today.
Please don’t give creedance to the imposter using Holly, Patty NJ, or my name.
It is someones idea of a tasteless joke.
I have no grooming problem and I am certainly not an Obama supporter.
Thanks for knowing the difference.
It’s just GUERRILLA politics. They wish to silence dissenters.
Just like Kenya.
Obama is a user and unfortunatly it works with some of us. We look at the words and not the action. We listen to the media and not the actions.
Jo Anne got your back. Not dumb enough to think it was you.
KC.
I believe McCain had a problem with the GI Bill presented because there was no incentives for re-enlistment.
It was blanket provisions, with no sliding scale rewards for those who stay in the military. McCain thinks the 20 year lifers should have earned benefits greater than single enlistments.
President Obama will surround himself with the top advisers and will lead this country well. The other thing is that he listens to opposing opinions and has no problem changing when presented with a better argument. The idea that anyone knows what it is like to be a President in 2008 is limited to one man, George Bush, and he cannot run again.
We need intelligence and judgement for the new day. McCain has had his day and should stay in the Senate and pretend to be a maverick. Clinton should resign from public life and write her memoirs–she has shown she is not suited to be a world leader by her erratic, debt-written, conflicted campaign wasting all of her built in institutional advantages, trying to continually change the rules, change her message, change her personae, and STILL LOSING to a smart rookie.
Thanks KC.
I try to keep my comments factual and respectful.
These hijacked comments are certainly childish at best.
Remember our Troops this Memorial Day………

it here it is!! Enjoy

Obama shown in the video of showing off his erection to the media.
People who serve until retirement get things like: PENSION, HEALTHCARE.
The GI Bill was never intended as a retention tool. It was designed to ease the transition back to civilian life for veterans.
Obviously, a majority of you here don’t think a veteran who has been to combat deserves an education. Despicable.
And since so many of you “bloggers” *think* you know everything about veterans benefits as does Sen. McCain…why don’t you explain his HORRIBLE voting grades given by, heres the kicker, “Veterans Service Organizations”
— Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America gave McCain a grade of D for his record of voting against veterans. (By contrast, Obama got a B+.)
– Disabled Veterans of America noted McCain’s dismal 20 percent voting record on veterans’ issues. (Obama had an 80 percent.)
– In a list of “Key Votes,” Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) notes McCain “Voted Against Us” 15 times and “Voted For Us” only 8. (Obama voted for VVA 12 times, and against only once.)
yes enjoy
233 regarding healthcare reform,
125 on poverty and public assistance,
112 crime fighting bills,
97 economic bills,
60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills,
21 ethics reform bills,
15 gun control,
6 veterans affairs and many others.
His first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427. These inculded
**the Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 (became law),
**The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act, (became law),
**The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, passed the Senate,
**The 2007 Government Ethics Bill, (became law),
**The Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill, (In committee), and many more.
In all since enter the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1096. An impressive record, for someone who supposedly has no record according to the spin mindless twits
A bill to reduce deceptive practices in federal elections.
USMarine1171 is using the Marine ID in vain and does Not understand Webb’s “amendments” to our Current G.I. Bill. This person is a Obama supporter that changes IDs to suit his/her mood. You will notice all the ridiculous posts each and every time this person is anywhere on a post.
Obama Does Not Care about Human Life….
Obama Blocked Born Alive Infant Protection Act
by Jill Stanek, guest reporter
He often stood alone as an Illinois lawmaker in opposition to protections for babies who survived abortion.
Note: This report first appeared in the April issue of Citizen magazine.
On Jan. 10, 2005, newly elected U.S. Sen. Barack Obama visited former colleagues and staffers at the Illinois state Capitol, where he had served seven years as state senator. I happened to be at the Capitol that day, too, and a friend and I took the opportunity to speak to Obama, who had not yet achieved rock-star status and was still approachable.
We were in Springfield to lobby for passage of the state Born Alive Infant Protection Act, legislation that would require hospitals to care for infants who survive an abortion. Obama spoke against the legislation in 2001 and 2002 and single-handedly defeated it in committee in 2003.
My friend stood in Obama’s path and said, “Senator, we are going to pass Born Alive here in Illinois this year.”
Obama smiled smoothly and agreed, “I think you will,” adding, “I would have voted for the Born Alive Infant Protection Act in Illinois had it been worded the same as the federal bill. I think that’s the position the Democrats should take.”
There’s just one thing he forgot to mention: Obama had stopped his committee from adding the federal wording.
With Obama no longer in the state Senate, the Born Alive legislation passed in 2005.
Wow, there are some angry women in this area.
Those of us who choose to support Sen. Obama believe that he is THE best candidate. If we are wrong, we will have to live with that, but for now, we the american people, have spoken.
I understand how difficult and disappointing it is for Sen. Clintons supporters. I know you truly believe that HRC would be a better president. But I, like the majority of Americans (no “Clinton” math) believe Sen. Obama is what the country needs right now. Sen. Clinton is last centuries politition.
Why do people do that? Do they think it is making Obama look good when they steal IDs and try to use them?
The point of the Obama campaign is that we can all agree to support our veterans.
The dispute we have over veterans benefits should not sink to dirty politics on this issue on this day.
Obama may lose if all his so grown up supporter will just get out there and show how intellegent they really are. Stop thinking you are fooling anyone and go blow. We know Patty and Jo Anne.
Someone that is in the military for only 6 months should Not receive the Same benefits as someone in the military for 3 years…Webb’s “amendment” to our “current” G.I. Bill leaves too many loopholes and Needs to be rewritten. Do your research before you believe ANY Obama supporter…and ASK “where” they’re getting ANY info they post.
No it shouldn’t and with the internet you do not need to go public before you leave the house to say I voted yes and McCain did not. That is dirty polotics. That is more like look at me I’m the good guy and he’s the bad guy. Cheap polotics.
People Obama wants to have tea with:

What make me so angry is to use the men and women who serve our country to try to win votes. That is degradeing the very people you say you are so for.
Alot of my family are Vets and they even think it is low and nasty. They saw no reason to say he voted for it and bring McCain into it. He could of stated what he is working for for the military and their families without cheap polotics.
We range from Vietnam to now. We have all ages of Vets and we do not like being USED to gain votes.
DOES ANYONR BELIEVE oBAMA CARES ABOUT ANYBODY BUT HIMSELF? HE’S JUST LOOKING FOR VOTES>
mccaineguilt,
Obama only co sponsered those bills and did not write them. Again another Obama supporter tryng to steal someone elses work.
Obama does have some good bills but if you look up all his bills you will see the whole of the man. and there are several Vet bills he did not vote on. One that lost by 3 votes that would of helped the Vets re-adjust to civilian life and fail for lack of 3 votes. Don’t throw stones if you haven’t sinned yourself.
RFK Jr supports what Hillary said about JFK. Makes you wonder about the media is just doing what they do best, taking something that is nothing and making it into a big to do. Wonder why they would do that?
Besides waving the white flag and saying this is a war that should never have been waged so you people in Irag fin for yourselves……. what “exactly” IS Obama’s Exit Strategy for bringing the troops home? He’s flip-flopped so many times on that…does anyone know?
Well got to go. Take care, watchout for hijackers as that seems to be the best some Obama supporters can do. Fight a good fight. BBL
I have the highest respect for our military men and women and for our country and to sell them all out to the likes of obama is purely disgusting!!
He is chairperson for a committee for veterans and has never called the first meeting of that committee! Oh that’s right, he’s been to busy campaigning and covering his tracks - no time for the veterans!
KEEP GOING HILLARY - OUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU!!!!
The media has cut down Hillary from day one of this primary. The media forms public opinion…they did to Bush for 7 years Exactly what they have been doing to Hillary.

McCain’s Navy honors include the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Legion of Merit, Purple Heart, and the Distinguished Flying Cross.
Obama’s ……… ZERO
Obama cannot identify with the troops in any way, shape, or form. How can he Possibly do what’s Best for them in this time of war.
David Richardson, you don’t make any sense, child. First you say McCain shouldn’t have commented on Obama never serving in the military - Isn’t that the truth, can you show evidence he did serve. You claim to be supportive of our military but believe Obama should be president. God you Obamaites need to be barred from all the blogs. You’re certifiable.
It is sad that people are defending Hillary´s comments on this site. This proves to me that it has nothing to do with Obama´s record but the color of his skin. Hillary was right to say that white people are not ready for a black President.
Bill Clinton never served. In fact, he ran instead of serving his time. Give me a break.
Go President Obama !
Puerto Rico is yours for the taking , we understand you , we are with you
We feel you understand our needs and we wish to be part of this amazing movement
We Trust you
Puerto Rico has been waiting for you !
Hillary Clinton is A MONSTER !
SHE MEANT EVERY word and it seems she has said before in February , and twice in one day May the 7th……..
SHe has finally shown her true colours to the Nation !
this is what she is hoping for and her slip of the toungue has helped us see her for what she truly is …. a WITCH
She deserves nothing short of a kick on the rearside and to the moon with her !
Kennedy Jr is only trying to help and save face !
She is who she is , she cannot avoid it …..
God is giving us all a hint of what is to come
What she says is UNFORGIVABLE !
no amount of defense from anybody will make this horrid comment and wish of hers go away !
May God forgive the Clintons for wishing the worst on Senator Obama
I knew they were bad………..but this is the lowest blow !
KC, if you notice, whoever is pretending to be JoAnne, they never say anything about supporting Obama. They just say stupid comments. We know you guys hate Obama and not because you feel he is bad for America, but because the thought of a black man running this country that has been founded by not the whites, but by the Spanish and then the white prisoners came to America. If you can sit there and approve of Hillary´s RFK comments, then that is all I need to know about you.
Polls now show Obama is going to win Puerto Rico. Hillary is toast.
Hillary is such a fake. When she thought she was going to win, she did an interview saying that MI and FL broke the rules and should not be counted. Now that she is loosing, she is saying that Obama don´t want to count the votes. The only problem with that is, she wants all of the votes and the delegates. Obama better not make her the number 2.
All of you people can hate Obama and the rest of us because we are black, but your hate will not stop Obama from becoming the next President of the United States of America. This is History in the making. Our current President made history also. He had tea with the bin Laden family a day before 9/11 happened. Who is drinking tea with who.
Can´t wait when Hillary looses and she has to face her civil case against Peter Paul. She better pray that they don´t find anything to file criminal charges against her. I think they will. Hillary will keep fighting because she don´t want to go to jail.
It does bother me that Hillary is getting in debt more and more and I think she wants Obama to pay for it. She wants Obama to choose her as his running mate as well.
It bothers me that McCain thinks that only a militar can be a president. Like the only thing we want to do is to go to war.
It bothers me some people that because they do not like Obama’s personality they do not admit that the guy is running the best campaign or that he has the best policies
KEEP GOING HILLARY - OUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU!!!

In oregon Obama stated that Iran and other rogue countries were not a threat. Oregon being a very left left democratic state.
In Montana Obama states that Iran and other rogue countries were a great threat. Montana being a moderate democratic state
It is Obama that flip flops and has a different stance for every state he goes into.
Democrates for McCain08
McCain 08! TIME FOR PEACE AMERICA!

It does bother me that Hillary is getting in debt more and more and I think she wants Obama to pay for it. She wants Obama to choose her as his running mate as well.
It bothers me that McCain thinks that only a militar can be a president. Like the only thing we want to do is to go to war.
It bothers me some people that because they do not like Obama’s personality they do not admit that the guy is running the best campaign or that he has the best policies
**** It bothers us the McCain and Hillary supporters how you
