Did he learn nothing from Germany?
Kudos to
Newsbusters for tracking this down.
John McCain and Barack Obama have been invited to participate in
a townhall with the active duty military and their families on
August 11. According to the organizers, only McCain has agreed to
attend. What’s Obama’s excuse? Scheduling conflict:
Obama campaign spokeswoman Shannon Gilson said that while the
senator has a scheduling conflict on Aug. 11, he “strongly
supports” veterans and military families, and he has worked hard on
their behalf in the Senate.
What’s he doing?
Vacation in Hawaii August 8-15, with an “astounding”
fundraiser on the 12th which is supposed to raise $500,000.
Did he learn nothing in Germany? Could he send a clearer signal
to the troops about what he thinks about them?
