Obama scraps visit to wounded troops »
Posted By FSU92grad 3 months, 3 weeks ago in News
Sen. Barack Obama scrapped plans to visit wounded members of the armed forces in Germany as part of his overseas trip, a decision his spokesman said was made because the Democratic presidential candidate thought it would be inappropriate on a campaign-funded journey.

"The spokesman, Robert Gibbs, said Thursday that Obama made his decision out of respect for the servicemen and women, but Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign immediately criticized the move.
"Barack Obama is wrong. It is never inappropriate to visit our men and women in the military," said Brian Rogers, a spokesman for the Republican contender.
Obama's decision raised a number of questions because the visit, which had been scheduled for Friday, never appeared on the schedule of events distributed to reporters who are accompanying him on his travels"

I like how FSU's profile (which is now prominently displayed) says "I'm not a Republican or a Democrat.
LOL!!
Well, we KNEW he wasn't a Democrat ... as he spends his entire bio space blaming and whining about all things Democrat.
But he says he's not a Republican either?
Gosh ... maybe he's one of the few Righties who realizes there is no Republican party anymore ... as they have been absorbed by the Neo-Conservative movement ... a movement modeled after the old Soviet Union military expansionist credo.
Of course, I seriously doubt that FSU fully comprehends that this sea-change has occurred. I mean, does anyone on Propeller believe for a second that someone such as FSU, who ONLY insults others, has the mental capacity to exchange ideas, concepts ... to consider to ponder the ever changing landscape of politics in America?
If you have any doubt, scroll down to Will1313's comment in which he mentions that he has set up collection boxes for our nation's soldiers.
Then check out FSU's reply, in which he does what he ALWAYS does ... EVERY SINGLE TIME ... insults in just that way you expect someone without a Moral Compass to reply.
That's why I say Neo-Conservatism is a Morally Vacant Ideology. Look at who supports it. Look who apologizes for it.
The sad thing is ... The Republican Party used to stand for so much. Now ... it's just another morally vacant ideology ... like Communism.

What was Osama thinking ? What was so important in Paris that he couldn't stop by and see our wounded veterans?
This clearly shows America what he truly thinks of our military and their sacrifices.....
Who would vote for such a callous, uncaring individual ?
Oh, wait....I know....The dumba$$ liberals would because they ALSO don't give a crap about our military and what's best for our country....

Goppy, good to see you.
I thought about abandoning this website after Tuesday, but then I would miss reading your great commentaries ...and I would miss being a thorn in the sides of AG, FSU, libsR, and all the other n*tj*bs here...and unlike FSU, who says he "was sent here to earth by God to make liberal lives miserable," I could really care less...I HAVE A LIFE! But I do like to f**k with the conservatives!
I think I will hang out on propeller for a while longer!

It's is nice to see that both you Scott and Goppy decided to stay it will make my decision to stay easier and make propeller much more palatable, for a second there I thought it would be the AG show. I still cant seem to find any of my comments and when i do find the stories i posted on they seem not to be there i am hoping this is all a glitch and will be fixed soon....James.
I wonder if FSU knows that the pentagon told Obama he couldn't visit? I am betting this story will go away soon because is stands on shaky ground at best!

Ohhh Goopy, I just love how you continue to confuse low-brow personal attacks with actual debate and intellect. You just have stupid streaming between those pointy ears, doncha?
Now, as far as communism, you obviously haven't been payin' attention to the liberal idiotology you love so much. Global warming lies,oil drillin misinformation, confiscation and redistribution of wealth, hatred of religion -- even though your current darling is as religious as they get.
It's a shame when the scrapped the old Propeller they didn't get rid of the fools like you. But, you are a known non-quantity regarded quite properly as a comp[lete buffoon.
Now, how's ol 'Johnny Edwards' love child doing? He's off sneaking around behind his cancer-stricken wife's back, but you refuse to admit it. HYPOCRITE ;)

are you so unaware of what you write, that you criticize a person for 'personal attacks' in sentence #1, and then call him stupid with 'pointy ears' in sentence #2?
hypocrisy, pure and simple and as obvious as a dress on a camel

The Pentagon told Obama NOT to visit the troops because it would be seen as a purely POLITICAL visit...He planned to go by himself, plus a retired Air Force General...and now the BushBeeotches and Boyotches wanna crucify him for it!!!

Why such a long personal attack against FSU? You can disagree without being disagreeable. The leftists have a lot more in common with the communists than the right wing ideologues. FSU has a right to whine about all things Democratic just as you have a right to whine about Republicans.
Back to the post, normally, the troops are not visited when it's part of a political campaign and Obama is only following McCains lead in this instance, at least as I understand it.

"You can disagree without being disagreeable. The leftists have a lot more in common with the communists than the right wing ideologues. "
Wow...Cons have NO clue why they have no business whatsoever lecturing others on etiquette or diplomacy. That post took my breath away. And not in a good way. It wasn't like when you're on a rollercoaster and you have those zero gravity moments in certain turns and twists where your heart feels like it stopped beating but you know it didn't because if it had, you'd be dead and not looking at the guy in front of you with the puke splattered shirt. It wasn't like that. Nor was it like when you're doing the horizontal mambo and there's that point where you're on the brink of reaching shangri-la and you're all..."God? Is that you?! It's not my time to go yet! I can't feel my legs...Whooa!" It wasn't like either of those at all. ;-(

"Poor desperate cons. ;-("
Not desperate, but based at looking at all the replies from you liberal types trying to justify's Osama's poor decision making ability...
I'd say YOU'RE the ones reaching for straws...
Looking forward to cleaning your clock in November...Based on the recent polls results, it shouldn't be too hard...

What seems to be MISSING from your information is that the Pentagon told Obama that he was not ALLOWED to go to the hospital as the Democratic Presidential Candidate he could only go as "the Senator from Illinois".
Since the Senator's staff had already returned to Washington (because the Senate information gathering portion of the trip had concluded) and only the Obama for President staff was still traveling with Obama they wouldn't be allowed to go to the hospital.
Since the Pentagon didn't make this information available until late Wednesday (after the Senate staff left) the campaign did not have enough time to make other arrangements except to try and phone as many service members as possible which Obama did.

That's just terrible....
These men and women of the armed services need to know that this presidential candidate actually gives a damn about our women and men who are providing the very freedoms that we enjoy...
But I guess it's above Mr. "hoity-toity", I'm a superstar candidate, Osama O' Bama...

pc,
I just don't get these libs and how they can vote for such a fake....
They hate Bush so much that they're willing to vote for an inexperienced, Marxist who could care less about our country and our well-being, but more interested in power and how he can manipulate the world...
I know AG used the word "antichrist" to describe Osama, but look at the description or how the antichrist is described in the Bible....Osama could literally be the poster-child for him.....
Scary stuff...

"I just don't get these libs and how they can vote for such a fake...."
But aren't cons voting for a Republican they've hated for the last 10 years, someone they don't trust and don't really believe is a Republican or a conservative and who brought the concept of flipflopping to a whole new level? I think that's what cons are doing and also quite disgracefully re-elected Bush who lied, destroyed our economy and our reputation worldwide, caused several thousand Americans and a million or more Iraqis to DIE needlessly. What did Bush and the GOP accomplish in 8 years? They accomplished nothing, right? Cons got NOTHING in return for their undying loyalty to Bush and the GOP. You have egg splattered all over your sad faces and now you're desperately trying to ease the pain associated with your ignorance, lack of education and extremely poor political judgement. This is not something cons can hide. We know what you people are all about and it's mostly very ugly and sad. ;-(

What does that say to our young men and women in uniform,who are, btw, voters?>>>>
Why don't you ask the troops who gave him a standing ovation in Iraq? As for why Obama decided not to go, you might want to look up his reasons, & stop listening to those who try to brainwash you. Or are you one of them? Is that your role here? It certainly doesn't appear to be about the country, it's problems or what got us in this mess.
Reply
I think I'll give our men & women in uniform credit for having the intelligence of figuring out whether or not Obama cares about them on their own. I'm certainly not going to speak for them, though you somehow think you have that mandate. Not too respectful, are you. -

The Democrats in congress are stonewalling causing the military overseas the ability to vote. Remember that Gore in 2000 had the absentee ballots rejected that didn't meet the law. Those overseas didn't have the ability to get the proper forms or other required papers. So Gore had them thrown out and since then the Democrats are keeping it that way even though there were orders to fix the problem.

US
Did you read the article?
"...a decision his spokesman said was made because the Democratic presidential candidate thought it would be inappropriate on a campaign-funded journey."
It sounds to me that HE mad the decision, not the Pentagon...
Good try, though...
And even if you're story is true, couldn't he have said, "You know what? It's more important to me to see these guys and gals and show them we care and to thank them for their sacrifice to this country..."
That would have went over way better than simply ignoring them because he had to get to Paris....
and besides, would have made a great photo op for the faker....Don't you think, US ?

Hmmm...
As I read this morning, it was the Pentagon who requested Obama not to visit the wounded veterans...they didn't say he couldn't go, they just said it might not be appropriate...
