Senator Obama in his trip to Europe and the Middle East, looked a little like the character in the movie "Hancock"; no matter what he did, there was always a little damage left behind. His biggest faux pas seems to be his non visit to the wounded troops at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. Should he have said damn the torpedoes and gone anyway? I do not know. Maube the troops do not need candidates visiting the base; maybe they would appreciate a visit from the Commander in Chief who sent them there.That would be a brave stroke by our President, and one that would make a lot of Americans feel that their valiant troops sacrifices had not been unappreciated.
Ah but this is America, where no one seems to want to call BS anymore when people go on tirades. I Googled "President Bush and Landstuhl Regional Medical Center", and you know what I got? A lot of links to Obama NOT going. I then Googled "Presidents" and "Senator McCain" with Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, and guess what? There was Obama.
As many of you know, I have a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach about this election, even more so than in 1980, when I went to Quaker meeting to pray for our country when Reagan was elected. But this hypocrasy over one candidate not going while there is not a lot of evidence that OUR PRESIDENT NOR THE OTHER CANDIDATE ever having gone just takes me over the edge. Please, please prove me wrong. Send me links, pictures, or statements that Bush or McCain has ever been to the Medical Center, even if to use the bathroom. Please tell me that the American people are not so numb from the price of gas, and whether Mylie Cyrus has nude pictures on the internet or not, that they are not questioning this silliness.
Oh well, when life gives you BS, plant flowers...
