Yeah, so here I am in the middle of the day blogging about the election again. But, Country Singer sent us this link to an article<\/a> about the President who chanced upon three veterans in a diner and had an impromptu chat with them;<\/p>\n

the Portland lunch reinforced the message that president cares about vets. In addition, the local vets — Thomas Foeller of Oak Grove and Mark Peterson and Dean Dilley, both of Portland — are retired white males, a demographic the Obama campaign would certainly like to do better with.<\/p>\n

Whatever the politics behind the luncheon, however, Foeller, Peterson and Diller said it was an experience they’ll always remember.<\/p>\n

“I can’t emphasize how easy the president is to talk to,” said Foeller, 65, a former Navy officer who later spent most of his career at the Bonneville Power Administration. <\/p>\n

Foeller said Obama listened sympathetically as he talked about the problems rural veterans have getting access to health care and was quick to knock down a rumor Foeller had heard from his son-in-law — an Iraq War veteran — that members of the National Guard would get a pay cut.<\/p>\n

There won’t be any reduction, Obama told them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Where did that rumor come from? Trust me, I deal with rumors every day, and I’ve never heard that anyone was going to cut National Guard pay. So I guess if you wanted to toss a softball to your guy, ask him to solve a non-existent problem. <\/p>\n

I think if the president sat down with me at a diner, I’d have more important shit to discuss with him than some rumor about space aliens coming to cut National Guard pay,<\/p>\n

Oh, and according to Gateway Pundit<\/a>, those vets were plants anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
