Default Troops?.."Visting them is inappropriate"

Quote:
SPIEGEL ONLINE has learned that Obama has cancelled a planned short visit to the Rammstein and Landstuhl US military bases in the southwest German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The visits were planned for Friday. "Barack Obama will not be coming to us," a spokesperson for the US military hospital in Landstuhl announced. "I don't know why." Shortly before the same spokeswoman had announced a planned visit by Obama.
Quote:
"The senator decided out of respect for these servicemen and women that 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," explains spokesman Robert Gibbs.

Yet its appropriate for him to make a campaign speech in BERLIN...which his campaign promptly started using to raise..campaign money...after days of declaring it had nothing to do with the campaign.



Respect?......you (*)(*)(*)(*) on them and call it "respect"?

sounds good to me. As JMS said.. not using the troops as props.

US soldiers aren't worth Obama precious time.
After all they are live ones and they proved him WRONG..and he can't admit that!

Obama to our soldiers..

Obama didn't want those soldiers to first get excited and then dissapointed. Most would have thought the war is over if he had shown up.

if the foreign service staff stationed aborad were forbidden to attend the Obama speech ceremony in berlin, then would the military also be subject to that restriction?

No matter what he does he is wrong. No matter what he does he will be accused. He doesn't go it's a snub of the troops. If he goes he shouldn't be seeing the troops whilw in Germany. He just wants a photo opp. Go ahead dump it must make you feel better

So why couldn't he go and leave the press behind? I bet the idea never occurred to him.
