OBAMA DITCHES TROOPS, WORKS OUT INSTEAD OBAMA DITCHES TROOPS, WORKS OUT INSTEAD: "Barack Obama will not be coming to us," a spokesperson for the US military hospital in Landstuhl announced. "I don't know why." Well, Barack Obama clearly has his priorities in the right place during his time in Germany. A planned visit with wounded U.S. troops at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center was abruptly canceled today, but "citizen of the world" Obama still managed to squeeze in a workout at (where else?) the Ritz Carlton in Berlin. The campaign's pathetic excuse for the change? Obama adviser Robert Gibbs tried to spin the situation faster than Barack Obama on his elliptical machine, claiming it "would be inappropriate to make a stop to visit troops at a U.S. military facility as part of a trip funded by the campaign." Wow, how ethical of him. source: Copyright (C) 2004-2008 LauraIngraham.com. All rights reserved.

You mean its mean to point out Obama's mistake about the surge and his stubborn insistence he'd have preferred defeat to victory? I think thats the kind of thing voters ought to know. It shows that Obama doesn't recognize the cost of defeat or value victory. I can understand why an Obama disciple might want to hide that knowledge.

"Senator Obama doesn't understand," McCain said in an interview held on Saturday. "He doesn't understand what's at stake here and he chose to take a political path that would have helped him get the nomination of his party." But McCain said he was not questioning the patriotism of his opponent, just his judgment. "I continue to believe that the only way for us to stabilize the situation in Iraq -- I believed it then, and I believe it now -- is for the parties to arrive at a set of political accommodations," he told the journalists. McCain also sought to turn Obama's trip against him, suggesting it was a slight to U.S. voters. "With all the breathless coverage from abroad, and with Senator Obama now addressing his speeches to 'the people of the world,' I'm starting to feel a little left out. Maybe you are too," the Arizona senator said in a Saturday radio address.

denver and the west McCain called "sour grapes" Bill Richardson defends Obama's European visit, saying rival is "jealous." By Karen E. Crummy The Denver Post Article Last Updated: 07/26/2008 11:21:13 PM MDT New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson slammed GOP presidential candidate Sen. John McCain on Saturday, calling his criticism of Sen. Barack Obama's trip to Europe and the Middle East as nothing more than "sour grapes." Richardson, one of Obama's most high-profile surrogates, also said that the Obama campaign was considering a trip to Latin America sometime before the November election. "There are discussions about it. He wants to emphasize that his administration would not be Europe-centric or only focused on the Middle East," Richardson said in an interview. The trip also would probably generate excitement among many of the country's Latino voters, a crucial voting bloc. The former Democratic presidential candidate was in Denver to rally Obama and Democratic supporters, who are canvassing some 70 locations throughout the state this weekend. Earlier in the day, during his weekly radio address, McCain suggested that Obama was paying more attention to people overseas than he was to problems American voters are having at home. In London, Obama said he didn't understand the criticism, given that McCain had recently visited Colombia, Canada and Mexico. On this side of the Atlantic, however, Richardson was more blunt. "McCain's jealous of the coverage and acclaim Obama is getting," he said. "McCain just doesn't generate excitement." Richardson, the son of an American father and Mexican mother, has been traveling to the battleground states of Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada and Florida to reach out to Latino voters. He said that in order for Obama to win these states, the presidential candidate must continue talking to Latino voters about more than immigration. "He needs to get better acquainted with Hispanic voters and talk about health care, education, gas prices, and continue doing Spanish ads that reach a broader group," he said. Richardson also said that in the West, voters want to hear about transportation solutions and environmental issues.
