Why did the Obamessiah abruptly cancel today’s  trip to the U.S. base at Ramstein to greet our troops? Well, because he was not going to be permitted to use the trip as a photo op. And, you know, visiting our troops for the sake of visiting them, to thank them for the hard work they do keeping us safe, isn’t a good enough reason to take a few hours out of your day when you’re Saint Barack and the entire universe revolves around you.

*** UPDATE *** From NBC’s Jim Miklaszewski and Courtney Kube
A U.S. military official tells NBC News they were making preparations for Sen. Barack Obama to visit wounded troops at the Landstuhl Medical Center at Ramstein, Germany on Friday, but "for some reason the visit was called off."

One military official who was working on the Obama visit said because political candidates are prohibited from using military installations as campaign backdrops, Obama’s representatives were told, "he could only bring two or three of his Senate staff member, no campaign officials or workers." In addition,
"Obama could not bring any media. Only military photographers would be permitted to record Obama’s visit." (emphasis mine")

 

 

 

What a piece of work this guy is.
