What happened to “The Tour of Duty” as proudly pronounced by the msm? Looks like that went by the wayside rather quickly. Just another example of the real Hussein.

Can’t stand the sight of blood, can you, Barry? Or is it because in a military hospital, visitors, particularly non-dependents, are required to observe/show silence, solemnity, respect, and empathy (the real kind) to the wounded, and you just don’t have it in you to do that?

The trip was canceled b/c his handlers do not see POTUS as Obambi’s final resting place.... they envision Obambi as the leader of the world......and if we are all one big happy family as a “world” there is no need for a Military; therefore, why tarnish the Germans’ view of the great Messiah by visiting a bunch of thugs on an Army base.....

Chauncey Obama would rather meet with the adoring German Socialist fascists than with those who ended their slaughter fest in WWII.


I agree. But, it should be “Chump” Obama. Or, Obama, the Chump.

In other news, massive clean-up details at Ramstein AB and Landstuhl AMC have been terminated, freeing hundreds of airmen and soldiers to return to their real jobs.

I hated it when VIPs were coming to visit. Everything had to look pretty, or else heads would roll.

Thank you for sharing that account. I hope more soldiers come forward with these observations. It seems the first thing on Obama’s mind is his career, with country and soldiers further down the list.

Of course, today he had that all important 35 min. speech to give. He mentioned a few big topics with no specifics and barely more depth than a Miss America contestant. (”We have to come together for World Peace”. etc.)

Since half the threads I start on this website which I provide all the required information in the posting fields and I believe fall under the FR categories provided are deleted by the mods for reasons that remain a mystery to me, I really shouldn’t respond how I really feel about the subject of this thread or I’ll be banned for life. Appears I’m on thin ice with this site so I’ll just keep quiet.

But I’ll post this: To the brave warriors in those German hospitals, my prayers are with you all.

Scumbag.

Headline should be:

Obama refuses to meet with injured US military at Landstuhl hospital- prefers to work out at gym instead

What you see in the news is all fake.

I believe most of us here at FR know this already; but, it is unfortunate that so many of our fellow Americans can be so easily scammed by this guy.

I have to say,though, that I did see some video of BO getting something to eat with our soldiers. He was sitting at a table with them, I'm not sure if this was Iraq or Afghanistan. My first reaction was to wonder if there were no "white" soldiers who wanted to sit at the table with him because everyone there seemed to be "black". (sorry if my political IN-correctness bothers anyone)

think of the problem for leftists: America is just another country that should be run to the ground. So how can Obama be the leader of the world if he is president of the US? He should be in charge of a truly great country such as Cuba.

“I am told that when one of Obama’s campaign staff was told he or she would be denied access, the visit was canceled.”

This is the telling sentence, he’s terrified to go anywhere without key members of his campaign staff, can anyone say David Axelrod, Susan Rice and David Plouffe! This also speaks very poorly of his senate office staff, I guess he has no confidence in them whatsovever.

Seminer internet posters on both sides of the aisle are making crap up like it’s going out of style.

Believe about 5% of the “bad news” what you read about any liberal OR conservative anymore on the net.

But had time for this, the little nazi!

++ Obama Takes Time to Work Out ++

4:49 p.m.: Obama enters the luxury Ritz Carlton hotel wearing a T-shirt, black sweatpants and white trainers — apparently to work out in the hotel's gym. He kept up the campaigning on the way there, smiling and waving at tourists and other onlookers.

What would be the point of Obama visiting the troops?

We know he despise the troops. He knows he despises the troops. He knows the troops despise him. The troops know that he knows they despise him.

This would have been the chance for one of our heroes to spit in Obama’s face or tell him to FO before he actually became the serviceman’s CINC.
