Barack's absence.

Hey all, another weekend gone by. I want to address a critical issue when it comes to the campaign coverage. Does Barrack Obama care for anyone other than himself?
I have addressed how important a candidate’s character along with their principles and track record matter to me. If they are great politicians but have a questionable character, then I can’t trust them to represent my best interest. Barrack Obama made a grave error by choosing not to visit the troops in Berlin. I wonder if he only cares about the possibility that he might be the most powerful man in the world one day. God forbid!
In an article appearing in Reuters on July 24 a spoke person for Obama’s campaign responded to the criticism about his non visit at the Landstuhl treatment center. One of his National Security advisors Maj. General Scott Gration said
"Senator Obama had hoped to and had every intention of visiting our troops to express his appreciation and gratitude for their service to our country," He further said "Senator Obama did not want to have a trip to see our wounded warriors perceived as a campaign event when his visit was to show his appreciation for our
troops and decided instead not to go," The article highlights how the only specification the Pentagon had made to Obama’s campaign was to make sure if he visited the hospital as a Senator not as a candidate which is he originally traveled abroad along with several other politicians.
I think it’s convenient to excuse his visit by not wanting to draw attention to him if he had gone. He has repeatedly made a mockery of our armed forces. The lack of a flag pin on his lapel, his statements disqualifying the success of the surge, and now only extending his hand to troops only when the cameras were on. I don’t think anyone would have complained about his intentions if he would have spoken to the troops instead of a giant crowd in Berlin. If anyone did question his motives he could have reassured them how patriotism comes before political expediency. At last, he decided for the only option with the greatest reward for himself not the people he one day may represent.
Are you concern about his lack of ability to do what is right for someone other than himself? Are you bothered how different he seems when the cameras aren’t on? I hope that we don’t have a President who only responds to those pulling his strings. James.
