This information needs to be sent to all the VFW’s in the country and all veterans groups. Expose Osama Obama for what he is; obviously, the media won’t.

With all the focus on race lately, I thought the title read “White Illinois” instead of “While Illinois”...

My bad.

What a great sound bite for Hillary the next time the subject of Iraq and the military comes up.

Frankly, this typical vet would just as soon that Mr. B. Hussein Obama steer clear of anything and every thing that concerns the affairs of our veterans.

How is Hillary really on veterans’ affairs herself personally and in real practice in the Senate?

Suffice it to say the military despises her and her BJ husband.

There you go, making sense. Authenticity is beside the point. Making reference to Obama’s missing votes is still a good sound bite, and I suspect this article comes from the Hillary camp. McCain can, of course, make good use of it, too, but I think he may be above doing that sort of thing.
