This is an area where I think McCain is flatly wrong.  He has voted time and time again against looking after our veterans.  In doing so, he has not only voted against our veterans and but he has voted against the families of our veterans.  These people, who have already sacrified SO MUCH, are having to pick up the slack while the government of the Country that they served and committed their lives to shirks its responsibilities to our veterans.  It is UNBELIEVABLE that John McCain is now trying to act like OBAMA is the one who doesn't care about our troops.  It was OBAMA that voted to support our Veterans.  Yet here's McDeFame running negative TV ads flatly out LYING about Obama's motives.  Obama met with the troops.  In Iraq.  In Afghanistan.  

Of course, had the Bush administration's interference with Obama's visit with the troops in Germany had not occurred, Obama would have met with the troops.  It's not like the Pentagon didn't know Obama was coming.  This reeks  of Bush telling the Pentagon to spring a trap on Obama at the last minute.  Meanwhile, McCain is set up to call Obama names over it.  Like I said earlier ... this name-calling is coming from a man who has voted against our Veterans time and time again.  It is flat out IMMORAL what Bush, Rove, Schmidt, McCain and the bunch are trying to pull here.  

In the business world, Bush, Rove, Schmidt, Cheney, and now McCain are known as Corporate Raiders.  They take over a company and do unspeakable things to it.  Only here, instead of a corporation, it is our Country that is being hi-jacked by Rove, Scmidt, McCain, Bush, etc.   And with their brand of character smears and distortions, they hope to do more unspeakable things to our Nation into the foreseeable future.  Its high time we recognize these bloodsuckers and stop the bloodsucking.  

What really happened on Obama's journey overseas was that he won the respect and the support of leaders in Iraq, Israel, Germany, and France and he spoke to 200,000 Germans who were wildly cheering for  Obama's proposals.  Barack Obama has demonstrated the skill and leadership to win over the support of huge audience time and time again.  Isn't it Leadership that being President of the United States is all about.  .  We live in a world with global problems where global cooperation is needed to solve them.  International Terrorism, The Environment, The Economy.  We need a leader who can reach out globally and win the support and cooperation of our Neighbors.  When judging the Leadership of Obama and McCain ... it is clear that Obama is the more effective leader.  While McCain may claim that his military experience makes him a better leader than OBama, take a look through your eyes.  Images of Obama with widespread, enthusiastic support are everywhere.  McCain ... not so much.

Wet start  McCain on Forrestal carrier heard some rumors on the internet. May be true,don't we want to know. I personally don't trust him something is not right about him.Even other republicans have mention this.

How can anyone say "It really doesn't matter what vets think. It's the rest of the American people, especially Democrats & Independents who are turned off Obama. We'll all voting for McCain."  

You are just as RUDE as you are DELUSIONAL!  It is a typical rude, selfish republican response to not care about what the vets think!  Who is fighting this war, Bush? McCain? You?  

Also typical is your delusional belief that you are in a majority with the rest of the people, especially democrats and independents who are turned off Obama.  HELLO, have you read a paper or watched tv?  The MAJORITY of the people, democrats and independents, are supporting Obama.  

McCain is a hypocrite and a liar and he will be revealed as such, but ignorant ones like you will always vote for the liars, the hypocrites and the delusional republican candidates that think that what is good for them is good for the rest of the world.  

Maybe you should ask a veteran what is really going on over there.  Oh, I forgot, you don't care, as long as your cowardice behind is safe here in the US hiding behind the likes of McCain chanting about how patriotic you all are.  

It really doesn't matter what vets think. It's the rest of the American people, especially Democrats & Independents who are turned off Obama. We'll all voting for McCain.

It'll be interesting to see how support or opposition from Vietnam veterans will impact McCain's campaign, especially as it hits snags like today's allegations about the affair with the lobbyist. (We're beginning to discuss this at http://veterans.lohudblogs.com, too.)

A pro Democrat magazine (NEWSWEEK) running a "news" story about a Democrat veteran group being opposed to a Republican.....what exactly is newsworthy here?
