"McCain slams Obama for skipping visit with wounded US troops" by Douglass K. Daniel, Associated Press | July 27, 2008
WASHINGTON - Republican John McCain's campaign yesterday sharply criticized Democratic rival Barack Obama for canceling a visit to wounded troops in Germany, saying Obama chose foreign leaders and cheering Europeans over "injured American heroes."
Yeah, and if we had listened to him instead of you, there wouldn't me any injured Americans, dip!!!
Obama's campaign called the accusation "wildly inappropriate." His spokesman has said that the visit to a military hospital in Germany was scrapped after the Pentagon raised concerns about political activity on a military base.
Earlier, though, the campaign had said Obama decided the visit might be seen as inappropriate politicking. However, the Pentagon said the senator was never told not to visit.
Blogs are reporting the action was political, and taken at the behest of the Bush administration!
The McCain campaign's criticism came as it grappled for another day with the intense media attention focused on Obama's tour of the Middle East and Europe. The Arizona Republican had goaded Obama into visiting Iraq and Afghanistan, then watched as Obama's meetings with the leaders of those countries and Jordan, Israel, the Palestinians, Germany, France and Great Britain dominated the political news.
Ha-ha-ha-ha!!
So McCain goads the guy into going there, and then complains about the coverage!
What an ASSHOLE!!!!!!!
McCain yesterday also pledged support for a proposal to expand protections for disabled people under an 18-year-old landmark civil rights law.
Speaking by satellite to a disabilities forum in Columbus, Ohio, from Arizona, McCain said yesterday that revisions to the Americans With Disabilities Act must leave no doubt that it was intended to protect from any discrimination that's based on physical or mental disabilities.
Yeah, great, PANDER SOME MORE, McCain!
Screw the economy!
