    Barry. That mean old man is saying bad things about you again. I can't stand him! Ugh. He says you snubbed the wunded troops. DeGaul of him. I know that you were concerned about there health. You new that the would be so excited to see you that their hearts would go pitter patter, and all the alarms in the ICU would start going off, and you know how the miltary is so understaffed that their would not be enough nurses to run to all the soldiers bedside and turn the alarms off and give the soldiers medication to make their heart stop going pitter patter. You need to start attacking that old man. Talk to you tomorrow.

    Newsweek. How dare you even bring up this question!!. Shame on you. Our Supreme Leader was probably thinking of the welfare of the wounded troops when he decided not to visit them. They would have been so excited to see Him that their heart rate, blood pressure, and ventilatory rates would have gone up to dangerous levels.

    Again, Obama and the Democrats exhibit their antipathy toward the military. McCain did not insinuate anything, Obama made a political decision to not visit the wounded--without cameras and the news darlings in his group.

    Obama is an arrogant elitist without guts to do the right thing!

    It's only newsworthy to NEWSWEEK if it's a.) anti Republican and b.) pro Democrat and Obama and left wing

    During the VN War, there was "Hanoi Jane", a movie actress who was invited by the Communist to Hanoi to campaign for the ending the war.During that occasion, she made a number of remarks insulting the American Prisoners War still locked up in the infamoust "Hanoi Hilton". Now, another anti-war politician who has taken a flimsy pretext not to visit wounder GI's in Berlin. Before that, he had visited a military hospital in the Midleast warzone countries, and probably realized that such a visit were a waste of time because he did not politically benefit from it.

      Stop your abuse of Our Supreme Leader. Stop it. He is the philosopher king promised by Plato. He will put a stop to Yankee Imperialism, nationalism, priapism, conservatism, fascism, botulism, sexism, racism, classism, militarism, jingoism,, anti-Semitism, hypogonadism, hyperthyroidism, individualism, narcissism, neo-colonialism, and the other isms that divide us. We must strive for a classless society. All men are created equal and if they do not stay equal it means that there must some form of
      discrimation. Oh yoy. Cubs win the Series in October. Obama the Presidency in November.

    Dunno. A question for FACTCHECK,however. Why is it that others are doing your job for you?

    TIGERHAWK provides some illumination here.[without factcheckian parsing,as in the ''bare facts true,but do not support McCains insinuation'' sentance ].
    On July 24,while in Berlin,Obama went algore and proclaimed that sea levels were rising[they are not,and haven't in nearly three years,courtesy of NOAAs findings]. He went on to explain that drought was becoming an increasing problem ''From Kansas to Kenya''.[it is not. The National Climatic Data Center Kansas State Graph[all counties] for the Jan-June 2008 season shows inordinate rainfall occuring in Kansas,where full crop yields are expected].

    Obama and the Democrats again demonstrate their distain for the military.

    Obama did not visit the wounded because he was told not to bring in the cameras and the news darlings acoompanying him.

    Obama is an arrogant elitist who does not possess the guts to do the right thing!

      Did you read this article at all?

    Obama was complaining about his sore hip yesterday. Too bad he wouldn't take the time to meet with those who have no limbs attached to their hips and who have a hell of a lot more to complain about....

      Haha, not to Bush bash and I know this is unrelated, but this comment just reminded me of the time when Bush visited wounded soldiers, one missing an arm, and mentioned that he'd gotten whacked in the head or something with a branch a few days before on his ranch. What a dolt.
