I know people that were in iraq when obama visited and saw obama and they all said they would try to talk to him and obama would just walk away or not say anything.
This brought tears to my eyes. I have tremendous gratitude for those who serve our country. Thank you a million times over all that you give and have given to protect us.
Ignore the morons on here that disparage you. Hold your head high for having the courage to speak out against Obama. It's the same kind of courage you display everyday as one of our nation's heros.
It's not the job of any Senator to sit one-on-one with Gen. Patreus. That's why they have committee hearings which Sen. Obama attended. Newsflash: We've been in diplomatic contact with Iran throughout Bush's presidency. He negotiated with N. Korea and Libya. Reagan met with the leaders of the USSR. That's what Presidents do. Just because he wasn't at his office when you showed up doesn't mean he doesn't care. He's a busy man! McCain wouldn't vote for GI Bill. Obama did.
McCain wouldn't vote for a crappy GI Bill that the military itself is against. As a Soldier, I'm against that GI Bill as well!! Obama voted for a bill that will gut our ranks and destroy our midlevel leadership in the NCO Corps. Oh sorry, you probably don't understand military speak do you? So, what do you really care except to support your candidate blindly.
Maybe Barrack can go to an open air market, like McCain did, in bullet proof vests, with 4 helicopters above, tanks and hundreds of soldiers and marines escorting him, so he can get a "real view" of what's happening in Iraq and go shopping for rugs.
do you know what that bill includes?? if so write on this board...ALL of it...I want to see if you know...I don't think that you do. ALL of it...don't leave ANYTHING out. Including what got piggybacked on it.
As a Soldier myself, I don't WANT the GI Bill that obama is for. As a First Sergeant in the Army, I know that it will kill our volunteer force and make it difficult for me to find experienced, competent NCOs to lead and train the next generation. It will force a huge turnover which will INCREASE the defense budget for training and recruitment and take away money from operations and defense. I highly doubt you know anything about what we would "probably" say.
There is no proof to your assertion that turnover will increase.
It's difficult for you to find compentent NCOs? Wow, what faith you have in our military. Oh wait, you claim to be in the Army... nevermind. Marine Corps would never put up with your B.S.
Exactly how would you like to prove something that hasn't happened yet? You can't prove it won't any more than I can prove that it will, but I have more EXPERIENCE in how this Army to works to know the impact. This is political for me; it's reality!
Hello chcknhawk... been a while. Pay no mind to Cryin' - I mean cryan. He's a Marine as much as I am a platypus. My friend I've got the feeling there are hard times ahead for all of us. There is truth to the term "Obamanation"
@B3rettaZ26 Ok smart ass, what makes me an idiot? Is it the fact that I can string more than one sentence unlike a fool like you? Don't make statements you cannot qualify.
Sooo funny...Obama actually supports the GI bill that would help this kid to get educated, he also wants veterans to get better health care, and he has been talking about that ever since the war started. Mccain on the other hand didnt support the GI bill! Many veterans are voting for Obama! This kid should ask Mccain why he will not support the troops and Veterans! Thats a more valid question!
Um, I'm not currently available to talk with you guys, either. (Put aside, for the moment, that you probably don't want to talk with me, since I don't have any influence over anything useful, at least right now) Does that mean I hate America?
but carmel, let's not talk about the distortions, and out of context shit that is pulled in this "swiftboating" ad!
if you don't think americans are so on to this kind of lying bullshit crap from the "christian" republican party, then one can understand why the republicans are about to be dismantled in the november elections.
when you "christian" republicans stop lying and start telling the truth, then maybe you will really have "god on your side".
There's nothing out of context about Obama not visiting the troops or sticking around to hear the American commander in charge of Iraq operations testify about the realities in theater.
The premise for this video is completely unfounded. It is NOT incumbent for Barack Obama to travel to Iraq right in his current capacity of senator; that is the President's job! As for Barack stating that he's prepared to talk to the "enemy" that is Iran, he means that he'd be prepared to talk to them as PRESIDENT and in the capacity of being presdient of the U.S.. Please get your facts right before posting this spurious inaccurate garbage!!!
So, you're saying all the other Senators (who have no interest in being Commander In Chief) visiting their troops in Iraq are wrong or something? It is definitely incumbent upon EVERY Senator to visit their troops, especially if they want to command them!!
@chcknhawk What I'm saying is that it is down to the discretion of the senator as to whether they wish to visit troops or not. Hillary Clinton SHOULD visit troops, as should McCain and Bush because they were ALL proponents of an illicit war based on a false premise. Barack doesn't have to go because if BUSH and company had LISTENED to his vehement objection to the war in Iraq, U.S. soldiers would not be getting killed in their droves right now.
And what I'm saying is that Senator Obama's discretion has been NOT to visit the troops and therefore I don't want a Commander in Chief in charge of me who doesn't care enough to visit me in combat.
@chcknhawk I already TOLD you that senator Obama excercised his discretion NOT to visit the troops and you're repeating my argument LOL. I commend you on the job you're doing in a military capacity, but it annoys me when I see face after face on CNN morning news showing that another young man who hasn't even begun to live yet has lost his life. And sadly that is down to the misguided judgement of the likes of Bush, Clinton, McCaine etc.
@chknhawk So you're now speaking for ALL military personnel and all veterans are you? Remeber, you cannot speak for ALL of the electorate as they have to make up their own minds, and don't think for one second that the minutiae of your video is going to influence the number of people that you think it will influence - it won't.
What you ARE doing is expressing your opinions in the hope that the gravity of your comments is going to impact the electorate in terms of how they intend to vote, whether you want to admit or not. What I'm saying to you is that the minutiae of this is not going to make one iota of a difference in the bigger scheme of things. Sure you'll motivate some people, but your comments won't have the marked influence you expect them to have.
Well, duh! Of course I want to influence "the electorate". Isn't that why you're defending him? You want to influence the electorate that he's not as bad as he is, right? If it's not going to make a difference why is this video getting under so many people's skin? I think I met my intent.
I'm not trying to influence anybody. What I've done is to nullify your argument totally, which is why you continue to reply to me with responses of no substance. You need to look at the people that have put you in the situation you've been in, the likes of Bush, Clinton and McCain. This video is getting under people's skin because your premise is inaccurate. If anybody should visit troops in the capacity of senator it should the senators that voted for this illicit war. I rest my case.
@chcknhawk As per usual, you have nothing of any substance to say in response to my comments; you just reply for the sake of replying. I think it's safe to say I've won this argument.
And who would "my candidate" be? Don't say McCain either, because he's not MY candidate! Besides, no one can match the division that the devoted advocate to the advancement of Africa - Obama - has created.
It's clear that you do not know the facts. It's clear that this is a clumsy effort to discredit the candidate with baseless argument. I've provided you a lot of information in previous responses that you've failed to respond to or answer in terms of what Senator Obama has done and proposes to do and you answer it with a nonsense. If what you are referring to is the commitment of his church to Africa, this is called "MISSIONS" There's nothing wrong with that at all, most church's sponsor them.
chcknhawk, better obama doesn't visit iraq, than go there as mccain did, and lie about what he saw. why don't you show, in contrast to this bullshit ad, how every time mccain visits the middle lease, he comes back and lies about what's happening, only be outed by the media, and he has to back track.
i'd rather have a democrat in the white house who's not been to the middle east, than a republican who has gone there then lies to the american people about it.
So, when exactly was the last time you were there? I mean, you say McCain lied, and I'm lying, and all these other troops are lying. Tell about YOUR experiences in Iraq...
you're changing the subject, cause i never said i went to iraq, now did i chcknhawk!
take the time to reread what i said, then respond it correctly and as written.
seems cause you don't have a response to it, you change the subject, but hey, that's typical of you "christian" republicans. you know you guys with "god on your side".
No, but you're saying I'm a liar which would imply you have the truth. To have the truth you MUST have been there to see it firsthand and discount my experiences.
yes i'm saying you're a liar about this swiftboat ad that has been done to tarnish obama'r reputation.
i warn you and others like you, keep it up and the democrats will have a field day with mccain and all the flip flopping, pandering and lying he's done to get the "christian republican" nomination for his party.
real americans/patriots don't cotton to liars whether they served in the military or not...just remember that sonny!
Obama does a good enough job tarnishing his own reputation, thank you very much. The truth hurts. I could care less what happens to McCain as long as Obama isn't President. I've already served through a Clinton, and I'm ready to do so again. Time to be sheared sheep!
In response to LEEROY-if someone would have to be poor to relate; then the poor will never have representation, because no poor person can get elected. Bush has no idea what it is to be poor, but he's responsible for CREATING POVERTY in the lives of many Americans, including military families. That's the kind of support you're getting from the Bush-Cheney Administration. RE: Reserves and does it count, yes it does...but Bush didn't show up.
Did u get a confirmed appointment 2 meet with him, after all,he is out on the campaign trail trying 2 become president and also fighting right now 4 veteran's rights.
What you just said was a LIE. Obama HAS SAID he would meet with the general on ground tactics and take his opinions into consideration but the mission must be set by the commander and chief.
Record of Advocacy: As a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs, Obama passed legislation to improve care and slash red tape for our wounded warriors recovering at places like Walter Reed. He passed laws to help homeless veterans and offered an innovative solution to prevent at-risk veterans from falling into homelessness.
Improve Mental Health Treatment: Obama will improve mental health care at every stage of military service. He will recruit more health professionals, improve screening, offer more support to families and make PTSD benefits claims fairer.
Improve Care for Traumatic Brain Injury: Obama will establish standards of care for Traumatic Brain Injury, the signature injury of the Iraq war.
Fix the Benefits Bureaucracy: Obama will hire additional claims workers, and improve training and accountability so that VA benefit decisions are rated fairly and consistently. He also will transform the paper benefit claims process to an electronic one to reduce errors and improve timeliness
Ensure a Seamless Transition: Obama will demand that the military and the VA coordinate to provide a seamless transition from active duty to civilian life.
Fully Fund VA Medical Care: Barack Obama will fully fund the VA so it has all the resources it needs to serve the veterans who need it, when they need it. Obama will establish a world-class VA Planning Division to avoid future budget shortfalls.
Combat Homelessness among Our Nation's Veterans: Obama will establish a national "zero tolerance" policy for veterans falling into homelessness by expanding proven programs and launching innovative services to prevent veterans from falling into homelessness.
Fight Veterans Employment Discrimination: Obama will crack down on employers who commit job discrimination against guardsmen and reservists.
Allow All Veterans Back into the VA: One of Obama's first acts will be reversing the 2003 ban on enrolling modest-income veterans, which has denied care to a million veterans.
Strengthen VA Care: Obama will make the VA a leader of national health care reform so that veterans get the best care possible. He will improve care for polytrauma vision impairment, prosthetics, spinal cord injury, aging, and women's health.
"Keeping faith with those who serve must always be a core American value and a cornerstone of American patriotism. Because America's commitment to its servicemen and women begins at enlistment, and it must never end."
— Barack Obama, Speech in Kansas City, MO, August 21, 2007
Obama could care less about me as a Soldier. If he does, he should start proving it with good policies and something like, I don't know, spending time with us!!
chcknhawk, the more you bullshit and lie, the more people are turned off by your comments.
you just gotta stop your lying about obama and any of the democrats. americans are on to this stuff, and quite frankly are tired of it.
why don't you just smarten up (that is if you know how to), stop this bullshit, and talk about truth and the real issues and stop the swiftboating. idiot!
If Obama cares so much about the troops why hasnt he sat down and talked with one? Why hasnt he ever served? Why hasnt he ever visited Iraq?
Obama is just some oreo rich kid that says he cares about people but he couldn't give a damn about any one of you. The man makes more money in a year than you have in your entire life and you think he understands how it is to be poor? HA! Keep fooling yourself. Your voting for a man that knows nothing of what the real world is like. Your the fool.
Your current commander and chief hid out in the reserves and there was some evidence didn't really serve. The V.P. got the rich kid defirment and the previous commander and Chief wiggled his way out of service too.
The characterization of OREO is a bigotted statement and uncalled for. Is it necessary to be poor to relate? The Kennedy's are a very rich family and have been for a hundred years...yet they have been champions of the poor. Your arguments are weak.
Oh so everyone in the reserves don't count as military members thats what your saying. I dare you to say that to anyone in the reserves.
Yeah you have to be poor to relate, how the hell would you know how poor people if you havent worked a day of hard labor in your life?
Ny arguments are weak? lol my arguments are direct and to the point.
My commander and chief? So if he's mine then you must not be an American citizen so in effect you really have no bussiness talking about American politics.
Let's revisit this is November and see who is laughing! I could care less about McCain or Obama, but there's no way Obama would beat McCain! Vote Libertarian in November!
Who is the Libertarian candidate? What is his/her name? How many states is she/he on the ballot for? What do you believe this would do to benefit you as a veteran?
wow...ok...I'll make SURE and write him a letter on that...but if you say he's going to charge ALL of the troops...make sure you let the troops know so that they can vote properly...ok? because sandy..."you all" is also ALL of the troops...not just some of them and its also going to include many many others...like the many democrats that voted to go into the war...they read the same information that he did.
I don't think that that is a respectful remark or even truthful. The vast majority of our service men and women served with honor and as they agreed to by contract. They are volunteers who gave of themselves. The decision to go to war...they carry out orders.
Vets For Freedom PAC does NOT work with/for/in conjunction with/etc the Bush administration. We are veterans who want a commander in chief that cares for his/her Troops and doesn't ignore them!!
Vets For Freedom PAC does NOT work with/for/in conjunction with/etc the Bush administration. We are veterans who want a commander in chief that cares for his/her Troops and doesn't ignore them!!
I'm in a quandary now. Do I press charges for invading my privacy and checking my voting record? No, because you're wrong anyway, so that didn't happen. But, I don't need to convince you of who I am because I don't need or want your approval. You are an internet figment of your own imagination and couldn't hold a candle to me in person.
You won't get me to regret being a Christian! I proudly wear that label. I'm a Libertarian, not a Republican. And I'm still waiting for you to disprove my "lies".
you'er a damned "christian republican", and i don't give a good goddamned what you try to say.
libertarians would have nothing to do with an ad like this. it's a lie. you know it, i know it & most americans know it.
you do a great disservice to the military & americans when you try to push out & out lies on america.
for once in your backward, hating "christian" life chcknhawk, tell the damned truth, that's if you know how to tell the truth (which i highly doubt). liar!
Good thing you know me better than I do. What should I have for dinner tomorrow? You're so smart. Have you written a book about how to be you yet? You're such an inspiration! How long are you allowed out of the sheep pen?

Obama does a good enough job tarnishing his own reputation, thank you very much. The truth hurts. I could care less what happens to McCain as long as Obama isn't President. I've already served through a Clinton, and I'm ready to do so again. Time to be sheared sheep!

In response to LEEROY-if someone would have to be poor to relate; then the poor will never have representation, because no poor person can get elected. Bush has no idea what it is to be poor, but he's responsible for CREATING POVERTY in the lives of many Americans, including military families. That's the kind of support you're getting from the Bush-Cheney Administration. RE: Reserves and does it count, yes it does...but Bush didn't show up.

What you just said was a LIE. Obama HAS SAID he would meet with the general on ground tactics and take his opinions into consideration but the mission must be set by the commander and chief.

"Keeping faith with those who serve must always be a core American value and a cornerstone of American patriotism. Because America's commitment to its servicemen and women begins at enlistment, and it must never end."

the FACTS on Iraq is plain...the war is and was based on a lie.
It's time to support the troops and bring them home.
This man, Obama wants to at least make sure you're taken care of upon return. Don't be a fool

Obama could care less about me as a Soldier. If he does, he should start proving it with good policies and something like, I don't know, spending time with us!!

chcknhawk, the more you bullshit and lie, the more people are turned off by your comments.
you just gotta stop your lying about obama and any of the democrats. americans are on to this stuff, and quite frankly are tired of it.
why don't you just smarten up (that is if you know how to), stop this bullshit, and talk about truth and the real issues and stop the swiftboating. idiot!

If Obama cares so much about the troops why hasnt he sat down and talked with one? Why hasnt he ever served? Why hasnt he ever visited Iraq?
Obama is just some oreo rich kid that says he cares about people but he couldn't give a damn about any one of you. The man makes more money in a year than you have in your entire life and you think he understands how it is to be poor? HA! Keep fooling yourself. Your voting for a man that knows nothing of what the real world is like. Your the fool.
LeeroyFan101 3 years ago
Your current commander and chief hid out in the reserves and there was some evidence didn't really serve. The V.P. got the rich kid defirment and the previous commander and Chief wiggled his way out of service too.
The characterization of OREO is a bigotted statement and uncalled for. Is it necessary to be poor to relate? The Kennedy's are a very rich family and have been for a hundred years...yet they have been champions of the poor. Your arguments are weak.
brghtsd1 3 years ago 2
Oh so everyone in the reserves don't count as military members thats what your saying. I dare you to say that to anyone in the reserves.
Yeah you have to be poor to relate, how the hell would you know how poor people if you havent worked a day of hard labor in your life?
Ny arguments are weak? lol my arguments are direct and to the point.
My commander and chief? So if he's mine then you must not be an American citizen so in effect you really have no bussiness talking about American politics.

Who is the Libertarian candidate? What is his/her name? How many states is she/he on the ballot for? What do you believe this would do to benefit you as a veteran?

wow...ok...I'll make SURE and write him a letter on that...but if you say he's going to charge ALL of the troops...make sure you let the troops know so that they can vote properly...ok? because sandy..."you all" is also ALL of the troops...not just some of them and its also going to include many many others...like the many democrats that voted to go into the war...they read the same information that he did.
3swelldogs 3 years ago
I don't think that that is a respectful remark or even truthful. The vast majority of our service men and women served with honor and as they agreed to by contract. They are volunteers who gave of themselves. The decision to go to war...they carry out orders.

I'm in a quandary now. Do I press charges for invading my privacy and checking my voting record? No, because you're wrong anyway, so that didn't happen. But, I don't need to convince you of who I am because I don't need or want your approval. You are an internet figment of your own imagination and couldn't hold a candle to me in person.

you'er a damned "christian republican", and i don't give a good goddamned what you try to say.
libertarians would have nothing to do with an ad like this. it's a lie. you know it, i know it & most americans know it.
you do a great disservice to the military & americans when you try to push out & out lies on america.
for once in your backward, hating "christian" life chcknhawk, tell the damned truth, that's if you know how to tell the truth (which i highly doubt). liar!
