I rarely post anything negative about Sen. Obama but I have to say on this one I was very disappointed that he did not keep his "appointment" with the injured soldiers. Ok so he couldn't bring cameras and the person he had advising him. So what....go alone but go anyway! You know news like a big celeb or politician coming to visit the soldiers gets around quickly and I bet that more than a few of these soldiers very much wanted to meet Sen. Obama. Let's face it- they are injured and hospitalized an ocean away from home and probably would love to talk with someone from "home" besides their drs and nurses. Imagine the lift to their spirits that Obama's brief visit would have brought. Sen. Obama spent a very large part of this European visit talking to people that aren't Americans, so would it have been so bad to spend even an hour talking with a few of our injured military people. I'm sorry but I think Obama owed them at least that much, after all he is now telling us that he is not going to end the war quickly like he initially did so some of these injured may very well be going back to fight again before it's all said and done. Sen. Obama you blew it on this one. BTW I have a son-in-law in Iraq. So I am watching very carefully how you treat our soldiers and on this one you lost points in my personal opinion poll.
