Barack Obama meets with young Iraq war veterans.
--------------------------------------------
Barack Obama stopped by Walter Reed Army Medical Center Saturday to visit wounded war veterans, a group that he has said endures substandard care under the Bush administration.
The presumed Democratic nominee, who was in Washington to speak to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, spent about two hours inside the facility. On his way in and out, he did not speak to the small group of reporters who follow him, and the visit wasn't on his publ
ic schedule. Obama has criticized the Bush administration for its treatment of veterans returning from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and has suggested Republican rival John McCain would continue Bush policies if elected. The administration was roundly criticized last year after it was revealed th
at veterans at Walter Reed were housed in rundown accommodations and suffered neglectful care. Obama has said the country has failed its veterans by allowing such "second-rate conditions," by not giving troops enough time at home and not doing enough to support military families. During his remark
s later Saturday before the Latino group, Obama said "we have to treat our veterans better." "We're betraying what I think is a solemn pact that we make with our veterans," he said. And in a speech at a rally with his former Democratic opponent Hillary Rodham Clinton on Friday, Obama said voters h
ave a choice about whether to continue spending billions of dollars every month in Iraq, and leave troops there for 20 years, 50 years or 100 years _ a line that elicited boos from the crowd. On veterans issues, McCain is seen by his supporters as having the advantage of military experience _ the A
rizona senator was a Navy pilot, and spent nearly six years as a Vietnam prisoner of war after he was shot down. Obama, who serves on the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs, often notes that his grandfather served in World War II. He criticizes McCain for opposing an expansion of the GI bill to
guarantee full college scholarships for those who serve in the military for three years. McCain and Pentagon officials say they oppose the bill because they fear it would encourage people to leave after only one enlistment during a war. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/06/29/barack-obama-quietly-

He leans right? His head leans rt.
ZerObama reminds me of a little sibling that hears the parents lend the car to an older sibling
says: Don't do it no car, tell him to take his date on the bike.
After the accident he keeps saying that he warned them not to do it. When the older people are trying to decide how to fix the car there is little Obama in his diaper saying: I told don't do it. Car is almost fixed "I told you it was a bad idea, cost too much
now the bike is rusty
Obama said John McCain was right 12 TIMES! Here's a youtube video with those 12 cuts. Incredible! Bet his handlers will teach him to stop that for the next debate.
This video shows all 12 times Obama said McCain was right! haha!
Conservatives... cease and desist in propagating the image of us as self-absorbed asswipes in the world. Are you up to the challenge? The first step. Discontinue the patronization of foreigners in their own countries. I've seen how you all regard the British while riding the tubes in London.
Act Like guests when visiting a country as a guest. Not like some self-entitled twit! It's only proper etiquette. And you all wonder why people dont' like us...
They don't require the media's coaxing. They saw it all firsthand. They, too, understand that the war is not in Iraq but Afghanistan. Every further day that our forces are concentrated in the 'Ghan are wasted opportunites. If we shit the focus our efforts then the terrorism will follow. Let's ke
ep it all in one country.
Good. leave it there and stop bitchin about the war then, barack
