Defending Obama, Seriously.
I'm pretty sure my Obama-opposing credentials are solid, but I have to cover him for one supposed misstep.
Barry is being bashed for skipping a stop at Landstuhl to visit wounded troops. His reason was that his campaign was paying for the Germany trip and it would be inappropriate to use wounded warriors for a campaign stop. Guess what? He was right. He wasted tax-payer money to pose in A-stan etc, but he can't claim we are warring in Germany so his campaign had to pick up the tab.
I will continue to knee the Obama in the neck for his many transgressions; this wasn't one of them.
UPDATE:
Tom,
You are confusing the lies that came out of his cakehole with reality. He will never speak truth, but I and many would have hammered him for making us pay for a campaign stop and especially for using the troops as a backdrop.
He is a swine, but not evidenced here.
Cordially,
Uncle J

But he wasn't campaigning in Germany. His campaign staffers said so. He said so, too.
That wasn't a campaign speech in Berlin; it was an address by a private American citizen and a citizen of the world.
Since he wasn't campaigning, he should've visited the troops, especially since he was for visiting the troops before he was against it.
