Obama snubbed the troops because no photo op was permitted

Barack Obama sure isn't making a good impression of himself if he's only willing to visit US troops provided that photo publicity is garunteed. And it seems that he turned his back on the troops in Ramstein because he couldn't get any pictures with them (Hat tip: Hot Air):
One military official who was working on the Obama visit said because political candidates are prohibited from using military installations as campaign backdrops, Obama’s representatives were told, “he could only bring two or three of his Senate staff member, no campaign officials or workers.” In addition, “Obama could not bring any media. Only military photographers would be permitted to record Obama’s visit.”

The official said “We didn’t know why” the request to visit the wounded troops was withdrawn. “He (Obama) was more than welcome. We were all ready for him.”
This is certainly telling about Obama and just how much he supports the troops.

Update: and while we're on the subject, it's important to note that he never actually criticized the PLO/Fatah for incitement against Israel (Hat tip: IRIS Blog).

Others on the subject include Stop the ACLU, The American Spectator, Mark My Words, Right Pundits.

  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
