Have others of you noticed the increasing tendancy for Obama and his MSM minions to blame something or someone else for their failings?

Now they are blaming the weather for Obama’s cool reception!!!!!

“””””Fewer VFW members attended Obama’s remarks than McCain’s - due at least partly to heavy rain and hurricane and tornado threats.”””””””

This was akin to Adolf Hitler addressing the US military and convincing them that he’s a nice guy! The whole scenario is too sick and bizarre to be funny. The Muslim Messiah and his Liberal cohorts are as much our enemy as Al Qaeda. Both have the same goal, the destruction of the USA as we know it.

Pretty bold statement given the attack ad Obama is running in Florida.

Pretty bold statement since Obama is the one that declined McCain's invitation to have 10 town hall debates. Obama is very afraid of debating if he doesn't have a script.

Tell him Obama's only his half-brother.

True enough. But it looks like the vets treated Obama politely. No surprise there, as most vets try to carry themselves with a certain amount of dignity.

Is Obamasiah seeing dead people again?

I too recall that he claimed our honored dead were in his audience on Memorial Day. I don't think Obambi knows that Memorial Day honors those who died in service. I don't think he knows much of anything.

This rookie can’t help but be thin skinned and defensive. Not a winning prescription.

Kerry was unable to gain the VETS votes.

How could a loser like Obama get them ?

I will let no one question...

See, now there's his problem. He really needs to find another way to phrase this. It's like Bush trotting around saying "jobs Americans won't de-ew".

Fewer VFW members attended Obama's remarks than McCain's - due at least partly to heavy rain and hurricane and tornado threats.

Obama..the candidate of "games" not change. First there is the "name" game he has played: Which name does he really have, which is on his birth certificate, which did he use in school, which name can we use and which name of his aren't we allowed to say?

Then there is the "blame"game he is playing: He couldn't visit the men and women in the military hospital because (well, there were actually three excuses he gave for that). Then he didn't do well in the Saddleback Q and A session because McCain cheated and had heard the questions beforehand. Now, the turnout at the VFW to see the celebrity campaigner was poor because of the weather. Give me a break!

But McCain was the clear favorite among the predominately older, white male crowd,

Talk about biased reporting--a twofer. Obama received a cool reception because the crowd was mostly white and old, just like McCain. LOL. I guess these old white bigots didn't like the black guy because of the way he looks and his age.

No surprise from the vets, they understand Duty, Honor, Country!
