“His snub of the wounded and his campaign’s confused and malicious response shows that they believe his image in the minds of the voters back home has been gravely wounded.”

Not gravely enough for my taste. I would prefer the word Fatally wounded.

He was going to lay his hands on the wounded. News at 11.

“I think the more on the spot he’s placed, the more he’s going to fumble verbally. “

No Grace Under Pressure from the “messiah”. Wimps know nothing about Grace Under Pressure.

That’s another stark difference between Obama and President Bush.

President Bush visited Walter Reed Hospital to meet wounded soldiers many times WITHOUT any notice to the press corp.

I just left a message for a Lt. Col. at the Pentagon press office to whom they directed me. I will try to get to the bottom of the rumors that McCain colluded with the Pentagon. That nonsense needs to be cleared up immediately.

Very nice. Obama blows off his visit to wounded soldiers once he realizes there's no photo op involved. Then his campaign lies about it, saying the the Pentagon cancelled. The Pentagon responds that the decision was made by the campaign, not by them. The Obama campaign and its media affiliates float bogus tales implicating McCain by way of trying to change the focus of the story.

Obama's innate contempt for the military and for the truth are on full display here - at least for anyone who follows the blogs...

Should be read as 'Zero-Force One'.

Transcript of Obama campaign briefing on O-Force One:

From Fox News

These guys are sweating.

My guess is they cancelled because Gen. Gration was not allowed to accompany Obama to visit the wounded and would be stuck at the passenger lounge at Ramstein with the rest of the campaign staff and press.

He pitched a fit and Obama thought he could get away with canceling to assuage Gen. Gration's ego because the stop hadn't been announced to the press yet.

Details here.

I think it’s simpler — Americans hate a show-off. Game, set, match.

NBC News' Andrea Mitchell was reporting that Democrats are spreading rumors

I like the way this was couched as Democrats spreading rumors. They are trying to cover up their mistake by lying about it, leaving the impression that McCain did it to them. This is the same McCain that they're trying to paint as too old and out of touch. It's the same reaction as with the "idiot Bush that keeps outsmarting them" storyline the Democrats used to push.

This definitely needs to be exposed as Democrat lies to deflect attention away from their own snub of the military.

Unfortunately that email is an “urban legend”. You can look it up in snopes.com. This kind of email goes around every election. Here is the direct link: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/afghanistan.asp

But the troop snub in Germany may very well stick.
