This is the guy who sandbagged Obama
this little shit decided it was fun to denied Obama a visit
to the troops and then pass it on to McCains' camp for the
now famous AD.

Anyone wonder how quick they where to produce that ad, came
out the next day the story broke. This whole thing was a setup
from the get go....over to you Senator Obama.

1. The campaign should do an ad immediately - the high road only goes so far.

9. I agree! Obama should not let the GOP swiftboat him
for God's Sakes! Even Pat Buchanan with all his Wacko positions has been more forceful than our Party leaders in defending Obama's positions on the war

11. The first US news of the cancellation was from the RNC to the media--
and included the fact of Obama "visiting the gym", which was then picked up and spread as if it had some factual basis.

14. That article on Daily Kos is damning of Wilkie.
It really does look like he gave permission and then denied it, deliberately, to cause Obama problems.

26. ok, now it makes sense
So far, I haven't seen many mistakes by the Obama campaign...especially when it comes to logistics.

I wonder if this was planned all along, or if was a last minute effort since Obama was exceding all expectations on this trip.

34. Apparently Obama and Durbin blocked his nomination back in '06
Edited on Tue Jul-29-08 12:20 AM by MagickMuffin
{{snip}}

Illinois' senators said Friday that they no longer are blocking President Bush's nominee for a Pentagon post after learning from the Defense Department that one of its recent report won't be detrimental to wind farms in their state.

Sens. Dick Durbin, the Senate's second-highest ranking Democrat, and Barack Obama had put a hold on the nomination of Robert Wilkie to be assistant secretary for legislative affairs at the Pentagon.
