“The Sean Hannity Show”
Sean Hannity: “You know I’ve found one article — I hadn’t known this — I was telling you earlier the Obama campaign tried to blame the Pentagon. Here he was scheduled. He wanted to go visit this military hospital. It was on the campaign sheet to go visit the military hospital in Germany. And we find out that the only restrictions the Pentagon wanted to impose was their rule against turning visits by politicians into campaign events.
“And, by the way, you know, I know for a fact because I talked to these kids when I went to Walter Reed and Bethesda, that literally the president would sneak on over often to go see these, kids — you never heard about it, it was never reported. As a matter of fact, I remember I was out there with Ollie North and they said, yeah the president was just here, two days ago, whatever it was. And you know, same thing with Donald Rumsfeld. Donald Rumsfeld used to go over there all the time, but he didn’t turn it into a campaign event.
“Anyway, so Obama has it on the schedule. The Pentagon says, look, you can come but they’re going to impose their rule against turning a visit by a politician into a campaign event. Now this is what we finally are finding out here. All the Pentagon said is they advised Obama’s staff — yeah of course he can visit the hospital and injured personnel in Germany but only in his capacity as a Member of Congress, in other words without the trappings of a political campaign, which by the way, it’s unfair to use sick soldiers who risked their lives as a political prop.
“Obama apparently cancelled the visit and went to work out instead. He went to work out and then said it would be inappropriate as part of a trip financed by his campaign. Well, as John McCain said, it’s never inappropriate if you are a United States Senator to visit a sick soldier. It’s never inappropriate. There’s not one taxpayer in the country that would have any opposition to this nor is there any rules against this. The only difference is the only restriction that was placed is that they don’t want to have candidates, you know, using the appearance for some type of political benefit. That wasn’t enough. He had to bring along of course the entourage and the multiple 10,000 media press secretaries along with him.
“So if you want my take on this, if you want to remember one thing about this trip is that Barack Obama chose to work out rather than see the wounded troops because he couldn’t bring Katie Couric, Charlie Gibson, and Brian Williams with him.”
And now he’s going to the doctor because he hurt his hip. Maybe worked out too long?
CHICAGO – Barack Obama, back in his home town after a tour of Afghanistan, the Middle East and Europe, saw a doctor at the University of Chicago Medical Center on Sunday night to deal with a sore hip.
Who do you really want for your next president?

Given the choices shown….no doubt in MY mind who truly represents decent AMERICAN values.
(would have been better to have McCain on the RIGHT side…lol)
B.G.
If I was deciding who to vote for based on only one picture, I guess you could make the case for McCain here. That said, I am not ignorant enough to base my vote on only one picture.
The previous poster mentioned AMERICAN values…The picture of Senator Obama speaks to AMERICAN values every bit as much as McCain’s picture. Imigrants are the backbone of this country. At some point in the past, nearly every American citizen here today had a relative come to America from another country.
It used to be a good thing to celebrate one’s heritage and the origins of their ancestors. Now, that is only the case if you are Irish or maybe Italian. The so-called “War on Terror” has done little more than demonize persons of Middle-Eastern and Arab descent. Just like WWI propaganda demonized Germans and WWII propaganda demonized Japanese (to the point where we imprisoned Japanese imigrants in brutal internment camps).
Is this how we, AS A NATION, want the rest of the world to see us? Do we want to wall ourselves off from the world and people who may look slightly different from us in color or dress or faith? This is not what I desire for the country of my children.
All that said, I do NOT believe John McCain would continue the assinine and erroneous practices of the current administration. I will vote for Barack Obama but, when I look at the former, potential nominees from the GOP (Romney, Thompson, Schmuckabee) I am extremely pleased by the alternative that is presented.
