I had to really hunt for him.

Reminds me of a Firesign Theater snippet:

“All for one, and all for one. LET ME HEAR IT FOR ME!”

Someone’s got to go. Maybe they’ll give Jeff one of those red Star Trek security shirts that always marked the one-show characters in the series.

and the best part is the MSM can’t stop it or control it.

Not so fast! Andrea Mitchell reported a "rumor" this morning that McCain was behind this! And that's been picked up, too.

They have no shame. As usual.

Yup. But unless the “exposure” gets some MSM play, people will continue to believe it. It’s still out there circling around and gaining some steam ...

Speaking for the wounded troops: I am glad that he did not see them for whatever reason. He has shown nothing but disrespect for the troops and contempt for their sacrifices. I would be surprised if any of them would have wanted him to visit. He could tell them a little story about how he’s sorry that they are wounded but he would have never allowed the troop surge, and if he had been at the helm... blah blah blah. Ask them if they could put his O logo on their uniforms instead of the flag of the United States of America. Accuse them of having false patriotism for actually volunteering to be in the military.

I would think that they would not deny a retired General Officer, or any retired military member, access to the post. Access to the hospital itself and the wounded troops is another matter.

Was Grafton let into the other bases? If so, was there a concern that without a military guy to help him, Obama could well do something really stupid while visiting?

so when the Landstuhl leadership stood up and said “no”...this was likely the first “no” this guy had heard in years.

Major Generals hear "NO" all the time, from O-9 and O-10s, as well as civilian political appointees.

I foundJeff Kiernan on this Obama staff chart...he is not high up on the food chain.

But he had a cell phone with a camera.

Please don’t insult ferrets. They are good at “ferreting things out”, hence the phrase “ferret it out”.

I’m not even sure it’s fair to malign weasels.

The only people who will vote for this guy are:

You sound just like a Democrat. It would be different if you actually were quoting something other than your own prejudice. I am embarrassed.

Remember those people who were clinging to their guns and god?

Get a clue then post. Better yet, leave the racist statements out all together they rarely help and almost aways mislead and misinform.

This is a Democrat thing, the politics of identity and dismissing groups of Americans out of hand.
