"HE" blames the Pentagon: (http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/07/pentagon-tells-obama-not-to-vi.html)


The Pentagon says, "what are you, a ****ing moron?".  (http://www.politico.com/blogs/jonathanmartin/0708/DoD_spokesman_says_Obama_camp_was_reminded_of_political_rules.html)

All in all, Barack wanted to turn this into a political campaign and they said no. He didn't want to visit the troops unless he could USE the troops.

**** you, you piece of shit.  :censored:

No press, no record of miracles, no visit.

Obama’s Kinnock moment in Berlin

On my visits to America this year for their elections I have been impressed by the rhetorical skills of Barack Obama only slightly less than I have been impressed by his ability to talk complete flannel in his handsomely crafted speeches.

His whistlestop tour of the Middle East and Europe has only reinforced my view that he is nothing more than a charismatic charlatan who would be gravely out of his depth if elected leader of the free world.

His speech in Berlin on Thursday was atrocious in its cynicism – he didn’t even offer a German translation for his audience – and mindless in its content. America loves its rock stars and film stars, and now seems to want to have one for a head of state.

It is rather a shame that we might have to endure the consequences, too. In its posturing and complacency, Berlin could be to Mr Obama what the Sheffield rally of 1992 was to Neil Kinnock.

The Sheffield rally was where the then leader of the Labour Party gave an overly triumphalist speech and then proceeded to lead his party to an ignominious defeat against a relatively unpopular Conservative Party.
