Yes, one of his media leaders has come out to state that is was just a misunderstanding.

My butt a misunderstanding, Obama and his thugs just know realized that it has people really pissed off that he didnt visit them.

And yes, the Pentagon gave him the green light to visit them without cameras and he chose NOT TO GO.

What a moron he is. Otherwords if he couldnt USE the troops for his own purpose he didnt care about them.

Everything is a photo op for him, all a well organized scam.

Sanrene, he is digging his own grave with his lies and mistake.

Lets watch Obama squirm his way out of this (misunderstanding ) lie !

Guess his trip was so much a success after all was it. Leave with a huge poll lead and comes back to be down to McCain. Now that is what I call a good trip. When is he leaving again!!!

"Obama had no earthly reason to cause a big stink - and all his campaign people to go along with such a decision - when the eyes of the world are upon them all, for the sake of being 20 minutes off camera.

In other words, common sense.

Someone who was there will eventually tell what really happened with the Pentagon wanting to pay old tired McCain-style bullying-games, and you all wont like it. The Obama camp was having none of it, that's all.

Just checking - you do acknowledge the fact that Obama has visited troops overseas and at Walter Reed without press, dont you?"

The Pentagon played politics with Obama and the troops.

The more that wingnuts bring this up, the more ridiculous they look for pushing debunked propaganda.

Please keep it up.

Jonathan Martin's Blog: Former Ramstein medical chief denounces McCain - Politico.com

"In Germany, Senator Obama made the right decision to respect wounded troops, and the doctors and nurses doing crucial and time-sensitive work, by not making a visit that was characterized as a campaign event by the Pentagon. Senator Obama should be thanked for putting our military above politics. And, I would hope that John McCain would think in those same terms, the next time he is put in a similar situation.
