In it he discusses the honor of his family in their extensive military service. He is a very noble and extremely tough man in his service to our country and POW survivor. It's horrific what he has survived for his country & has to be upstaged by this very UNQUALIFIED and arrogant Obhamas twit. GOD BLESS JOHN McCAIN & hope he selects MITT ROMNEY as VP.

Having served 24 years active duty, I know there is an almost equal distribution of races in the military. I also know that events such as his are voluntary, so, where is the voluntary white troops showing up to support him? Does this show that Obama is not recognised as a leader the military trusts? There is no slant to this, all it takes is some one to sit down and review all of the film and photo ops he had with troops that were not in formation, that were willing to see him on their own time. This is a serious problem Obama has and will have. That is my question I would like to see debated.

There would be NO war or very short battles - divided we get what we have now! lucky us...

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 00:27:59 +0000 http://embeds.wordpress.com/?p=2755#comment-184043 Do I think Obama is going to Afghanistan and Iraq to assess conditions on the ground? No, I do not. Why would he make a policy statement prior to going if the purpose of his visit was to make a genuine assessment? It's obvious. I suspect his real purpose in going is to show the world, not only the U.S., that he IS the next president of the U.S. This is a completely staged event for that purpose. It makes John McCain look irrelevant and inconsequential and it makes Obama appear presidential. Smart move? Absolutely. Will it work? Only if the American people swallow the hype and allow themselves to be conned once again by the Chicago Cool One. If Obama gets elected, the American public will suffer on all fronts but the greatest affront will be to our integrity; we will no longer possess any.

I hear everyone yell how Bush vetoed the military bill this year, it was $162 million with $621 million in pork attached, wonder why Bush vetoed it? Does any one out there get it yet? The congress we have pass a bill for $100 to $200 million but have two to three times as much in pork attached. Anyone see a problem there with our country so deep in debt? If that same $621 million was used to correct the banking or the morgages for pepole we would not have half the problems we do, so far they have spent over $17 billion in pork this year on 6 bills. 17 billion would cut gas prices down if the oil industry was suplimented for we the people. Congress has become spend happy and it does not look like it is going to stop anytime soon. 17 billion is alot of our tax dollars going for them to buy votes and solisit campaign contributions. It is not to benifit us but to benifit them. Wake up before they completely destroy our country, and remember Obama wants congress to spend more. We are already borrowing from China to pay our debts so China will soon own our country. Is that what we want?

Both sides have succeeded in turning us against each other to mask the fact that our Country is being taken away from us slowly. What I am reading is banter from a bunch of undereducated people. You are not dumb, you just have to learn to think for yourselves. We need to throw away our party loyalties, and start uniting this country or we will lose it. It's all in the history books. Read and learn folks. I am sure we all care about this wonderful country as I do. It is time to elect plain citizens at the local level & work our way up. There is nothing wrong with being rich, but with wealth and poverty come apathy in most cases. Why do you think the middle class is fading? Our culture and heritage is being sucked out of us as I write. Our economy is not that bad. Gas prices are not that bad. We have it pretty good here. Most of us get ourselves into the messes we are in. Well time to stand up. Men need to MAN UP. We all need to wake up. Please, for our own sake and survival. Really people!

Sure this will help Obama. But as soon as this is over, the media will obliterate him. Obama will have to walk on eggshells. I might vote for McCain but I'm starting to like this new guy. The fact that the McCain camp and Fox news demanded that Obama go to Iraq is completely ignored. Now that Obama has gone to Iraq, McCain is shooting himself in the foot. It's McCain's own fault that he keeps bumbling and falling over himself at every turn. Prior to Obama's trip, the media was more focused on McCain and McCain blew it. Just one mistake after another. Someone needs to help McCain before we lose this race. The future does not look to good. Why are we complaining? Sure this will help Obama. But as soon as this is over, the media will obliterate him.
