Obama skipped the troops in Germany. How odd.

Because the trip is paid for by campaign funds, Robert Gibbs, the spokesman for the Obama campaign claimed Obama didn't visit the troops as previously planned "out of respect for the men and women in the military."

What an odd thing to say. How is it in any way disrespectful to use campaign funds to visit our wounded troops? I don't follow the logic at all.

What I suspect Mr. Gibbs really meant to say is this: Senator Barack Obama did not visit the troops out of respect for the men and women who sent the campaign funds.

Doesn't that make much more sense, considering the Obama supporters and how they feel about the men and women in our military?

How I would've loved to have heard that phone call.

Thanks for the read.
