Remember last year, during the campaign that candidate Barack Obama blew off the wounded troops at Landstuhl hospital while stumping across Europe?

I took a screen capture since it’s sure to change sometime in the next few hours;
Factcheck.org wrote at the time that it wasn’t a snub last year, but I tend to concur with Blackfive.

Well, let’s give the guy a break…I mean he’s had his hands full running two auto makers and a shit load of banks…you know…per his Constitutional obligations…shit like that.
Wanna bet the wounded get pushed out of the way so the press can get photos of the 0 actually visiting the wounded? And like Claymore said, he’s been real busy doing all those constitutional duties he swore he’d do.

President Obama walks the walk – every time.
