Comments on: Troops not Impressed with Obama http://www.onebigdog.net/troops-not-impressed-with-obama/ "Let that be a lesson to you, boys and girls. Don't ever argue with the Big Dog because the Big Dog is always right" Sat, 11 Feb 2012 16:25:29 -0500 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Big Dog http://www.onebigdog.net/troops-not-impressed-with-obama/comment-page-1/#comment-123475 Big Dog Mon, 08 Sep 2008 23:38:00 +0000 http://www.onebigdog.net/?p=3725#comment-123475 Sal, Interesting that the article says no press was planned but the stories talk about the entourage following him. Obama said it would look like a campaign stop. How so if he went alone? The facts are pretty clear. Obama could have visited the troops if he went with his Senate staffers. He chose not to go. There is never ANY reason not to visit the troops especially if you said you were coming. There were 323 donations out of what, 150,000 troops serving and how many that have been there and back? The article states not to read too much into it for a reason. How much do you suppose they have both received from ALL veterans? Sal,

You have a link to a bias blog which itself provides no proof for this assumption. You also have hearsay evidence from one soldier. Your case would gain considerable credibility if you actually showed some facts. http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2008/08/troops-deployed-abroad-give-61.html I have provided two links to two articles regarding your assumptions from nonpartisan, nonprofit voter advocacy organizations. http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/snubbing_wounded_troops.html

Honestly, if they would all resign we could pick the first 100 people going into Wal Mart and put them in there and they would do a better job. Point is, if Teddy can drag his sick butt down for one vote he can be there for them all. If he is not showing up to do his job.

If he is too sick to do his job then he should resign. However, he was not too sick to fly to DC just to vote on the reimbursement of Medicare bill. He was there to kick that can down the road and then promptly went back to MA. If he cared about the troops he would have been there just like he was when his buddies needed him for the win.
