Obama to Vets: "I Love America, So Do You, and So Does John McCain"

I just read about all those medals MacCain supposely earned. Can someone tell me exactly for what deeds did he get the medals because as I have read, he was shot down over Vietnam, captured, tortured, and released after 5.5 years imprisonment. What is not mentioned is his collaborating with the enemy by giving out military information and then making like Jane Fonda by transmitting communist propaganda to the American troops. He was known as the "Songbird" by those that knew about his treacherous exploits. He admits in his book that he did accept medical help from the enemy in exchange for information, If you don;t believe it, buy his book "Faith of My Fathers" and read it, or look up Edward Epstein"s Congressional Quarterly. Some hero. US Navy made him up to look like one because of his Admiral father.

Under the veil of anonymity, the best in people comes out. Obama is an inspiration. Any attempts to ignore this speech resemble attempts to ignore wild conspiracies like "the moon landing".

The difference between the Obama bashers is that they focus on things like his race and vague partisan politics whereas I think an Obama supporter can applaud a valid point from McCain. The only problem is, valid points are few and far between for McCain and that is precisely why Obama is in this position.

If McCain wins this election, it will only affirm the world's suspicions that that the majority of Americans cannot make the right decision anymore (re: Bush round 1 and Bush round 2)

Well, JoJo, the only veteran/ war hero running for POTUS is McCain. Oh, did you know, McCain earned the Medal of Honor for his valor. He was a young man when he did that, about the same age as Obama was when he was snorting Cocaine and visiting Pakistan. (Why did he go there???)

Like people say, actions speak louder than words....

he loves this country, how about kenya and indonesia?

is Mcane only vetran in america the way people talk and macane talk he is the only vetran in USA. Now he is using it like a currency to buy peoples ear and status because he is the rich family and got fevourable national stage he shuldn’t forget there are many vetrans who didn’t cash in based on their story now time to stop using it like a currency.

Anyone or anything relates to bush is bad thing and anything like mccain IS relate to bush. we need new thinking in this country and DO NOT FORGET who raised deficit in this country, bush jr., bush sr., regan, it is old elephant not the donkey raised deficit in this country and took donkeys to fix the problem ever since I came to this country and voted for all those republicans since ford era.

Sorry, not buying it, Barry.

A guy who by choice immerses himself in a fetid culture of America haters (Wright), criminals (Rezko) and terrorists (Ayers) does not love this country.

I challenge anyone on this blog give me an example of Sen. McCain judgment and/or experience as a President? Even better, how is Sen. McCain helping the veterans that are returning from the war? If you don’t have any experience (example) on the Sen. McCain then stop making bogus comments on his experience with the Iraq war. It will be one of the biggest mistakes next to Vietnam War.

Why is it that so many of you Obama bashers ignore the subject at hand (this thread is about his VFW speech) and regurgitate the same irrelevant smears over and over again.

Do you lack imagination or are you just incapable of substantively addressing the issues that are on the table?

Here Obama connects. He reminds us why so many of us support him. McCain is like a relentless hammer with his attack ads against Obama on the war. Some of us have family about to enter this war. We have family who have already served 3 tours. Yes we all love America We also honor McCain's service to this country. Obama having a General like Colin Powell support him just might give Obama the edge this election season.

Obama loves America so much he wants to turn it into France. High taxes. Unions rulling the land. Socialized healthcare. And Americans fleeing for other countries to avoid beeing fleece and let's not forget high, very high unemployment.

Gosh I wish I loved America as much as Obama? We could help kill it together. But alas, I like America they way it was created. Freedom to pursue profit, make money, choose your own doctor and competition.

"Uh uh, ee ee, but but...Let me be clear. And they say Obama is a great speaker."
-----
Nobody with ordinary powers of observation would even call him a great speaker. What he IS is tall and photogenic -- and a PASSABLE reader of scripts.

History check...

Which President began speeches with "Let me be perfectly clear..."

Could it be...Richard Milhouse Nixon?

Yes, it could.

Obama...the next Nixon...

I never saw Obama give McCain such a clean whupping as he did today at the VFW Convention. This crowd clearly didn't like McCain's politics-as-usual attacks of yesterday. They know he's better than that. He knows it himself. And Obama knows it too and called him on it.

Let's see...

Obama sat in a church for 20 (count'em 20) years listening to a pastor who screamed "g_d America" while the congregation hooted and hollered with approval.

Now, Obama wants us all to believe just how much he loves America (probably for the "first time"), and we're all supposed to just take him at his word?

Not a chance...

And, regardless of what he says to the veterans, they all know that John McCain is a veteran with an honorable service record regardless of what group tries to swift boat his sacrifices.

The same veterans, while polite as an audience, know that Obama does not even have a service record and will judge him accordingly.

Go Obama!!!

McCain supporters your just angry because the small little smear attack ground you assumed you had was just broken with truth!!!!

WE the PEOPLE - YES WE CAN!!!

Uh uh, ee ee, but but...Let me be clear.
And they say Obama is a great speaker.
