President Obama Visits Wounded Troops (guess how he "visited" our fallen soldiers)
Blackfive ^ | June 22, 2009 | blackfive

David Borden Jr. was wounded in Iraq on January 19, 2008. A suicide bomber rushed him and detonated, and Borden was hit by over 200 pieces of shrapnel. He lost right leg (below the knee) and his left arm was severely damaged. He was in a coma for over a month.

He's inspired more than a few people while recovering. The NY Giants football team reports that he's the grandson of a NY Giant.

According to the email below from his father, David Borden (Sr.), David Jr. had an uninspiring visit from the President of the United States: Since Dave Jr. has been injured he has met and been overwhelmed by many, many political and military "celebs". The list includes Bob Gates, Sec. of Defense, who came into his room and told him 3 or 4 times that if Dave Jr. had any issues to call his cell phone number. It includes Gen. Petereus who sat and talked with Dave Jr. for almost 45 minutes. The General recalled vividly all of the circumstances around the events that led to fighting that Dave was involved in. It includes Sen. McCain who arrived late on a Saturday afternoon during a thunder storm, unannounced, and talked to Dave Jr. about how similar their experiences with fate. It includes George Bush when Dave Jr. was invited to attend the very last Christmas party at the White House for the White House Staff. President Bush and his wife entered the ballroom and immediately went to Dave Jr.. President Bush knew Dave Jr.'s name as well as when and how he was injured. Dave Jr. had a picture taken with Laura and the President that he has framed and ill cherish forever. The list goes on and on of people coming in to meet Dave Jr. and the other wounded warriors at Walter Reed and Bethesda.

Yesterday. Dave Jr. was ordered to be at the National Naval Hospital with another 12 soldiers and Marines to meet with Obama. Obama was supposed to arrive at 11:30 AM. He finally got there at 3:00 PM. He entered the room with the wounded warriors and quickly shook each of their hands. He never asked their names, where they were from, or how they were injured. Then he left.

Dave Jr. has met the people who really care about the military. All he remembers from Obama is a weak handshake. The others in the room, younger and less exposed to the people that Dave Jr. has met, were so disappointed. Word about Obama's "insensitive" visit has spread to the MATC ( the rehab facility) at Walter Reed and throughout Bethesda. The military sees through his phoniness.

All I can say is that it is such a disappointment that this man is Commander-In-Chief of our Armed Forces. He is an embarrassment to our Nation.

Regards, Dave

Pardon my cynicism

I don’t think Obama and his goons realize that most of us that love this country are not fearful of them one bit.

We will not be quiet..we will not give up..we will not stop!

THE TEA PARTY REVOLUTION IS HERE!!

None taken. Just e-mail Blackfive, the source itself. They are one of the top 5 military bloggers aside from michael Yon and Flopping Aces who have deep connections within the US military.

Obama makes Jimmy Carter look like a good President. When he tossed the rose at the grave, like he was shooting a free throw, instead of gently and respectfully laying it down, I knew he did not have what it takes. I was so hoping the first black President would be a good one.

This is sad but predictable.

Later "he'll" wax philosophical about the hope that "he" instilled in "his" men, and how honored they were to have meaningful dialogue with "him", and that "he" was aware of a profound patriotism, which "he" seemed to bring out in them when "he" personally watched while "he" had "his" own aids push the wheelchair bound into the gym so they could watch "him" shoot a 3 pointer.

Just you wait..

they are now making a movie about the MAERSK hostage situation regarding Capt Philipps, the guy who was taken hostage by the Africans on that boat. Remember that?

Obviously we all know who will be the hero of that movie...

Don’t be so hard on Obama. Remember, he didn’t have his teleprompter with him to tell him what to say and how to act....

I have a new tagline. This guy is scum. The more I know of him, the more I dislike him. Absolute scum in the WH.

Remember Jason Lewis, Mike Gallager and Benie Goldberg all told us not to rip Obama for every little thing we will have ODS. They are so lame.

My thoughts also were that it can’t be this bad. But then again this is a man who did not want to “burden” a doctor to have to give medical aid to an infant born alive thta was struggling to breathe.

He is a cold hearted man.

The fact that people have to be ordered to see the _resident says it all.

Rotten SOB.

HINT: SOB does not—repeat, NOT—stand for “Sweet Old Boy”.

Disclaimer: SOB can mean many things to many people; one of many pejorative possibilities is Stupid Obfuscating Blackguard.
