A day late, doesn’t cut it, Obamanation!

You snubbed these guys and gals because there was no opporturnity for photos.

(I can’t type what else I want to say here.)

Families of our wounded warriors, we love you. Obvious this Obama guy doesn’t. What a slap in the face to our troops.

there was no opportunity for photos....

You hit the critical point. The visit to the wounded was scheduled and the Military was, in their own words, “ready and waiting for him”, but in transit the Obama camp found out it was SOP not to allow camera crews and he blew it off. It would seem beyond dispute that if Obama canceled because there would be no pictures the entire point of the visit was a photo op. It also validates the pentagon policy, which has been in effect for years, of refusing to allow shot up soldiers to be used as props for anybody. The military made it clear that he was welcome and his staff was welcome but his campaign did not think to clear the camera crew before scheduling the visit - an error that betrayed the cynical nature of his decision to stop in Landstuhl.
