Breaking: McCain loves the troops more than basketball!
John McCain has a new ad out hitting Obama for not caring about our troops. John McCain on the other hand is always there for the troops… unless they need body armor or whatever.
The kicker of the ad appears to be that while Obama had time to give speeches in front of hundreds of thousands of screaming David Hasselhoff German fans and work on his black inner city Basketball skills, he couldn’t be bothered to visit our heroic hero troops of heroism. The reason? Obama’s couldn’t bring the lovestruck mainstream media along with him. Ummm… not so much.
See the ad in question after the jump.
The facts appear to be against McCain on this one. The Pentagon apparently nixed the visit to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center late in the game citing “longstanding Department of Defense regulations”. But don’t expect that to kill the story. The liberal media has shown that it will take any opportunity to go after Obama no matter if the story has any factual basis or not.
From the AP (emphasis mine):
[Obama's] spokesman has claimed that the visit to a military hospital in Germany was scrapped after the Pentagon raised concerns about political activity on a military base. Earlier, though, the campaign had said Obama decided the visit might be seen as inappropriate politicking. However, the Pentagon said the senator was never told not to visit.
Fucking liberal media…
Get ready for a fun couple of months.

What’s beautiful about the ad is the footage showing Obama playing basketball with U.S. soldiers. Hilarious.
Yes, but someone took pictures of it!
