Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) has told the world that he will meet with the enemies of the United States, but he won’t meet with our Troops or with General Petraeus. Read more below and see video.

The Vets for Freedom have put out the two ads included here. The press release below explains more about the video about in which Sgt. Garrett Anderson, a constituent of Obama’s was unable to get any of Obama’s time.
1) Senator Obama has never met, one-on-one, with the Commander in Iraq, General David Petraeus.
2) Senator Obama has not visited Iraq, and our brave troops on the ground, in over two years. His last visit to Iraq was January 2006, and he was there for less than two days.
3) On April 8, when two-dozen Illinois veterans went to his office for a meeting, Senator Obama was unwilling to meet with them. He was in the office, just wouldn’t come out. Sergeant Anderson was a member of that group.
I’m thinking that their mistake was probably that they didn’t have a donation to make to his presidential run, this had to do with his job as a Senator rather than having to do with his hoped-for job as President and Sgt. Anderson was just a typical white guy who Obama didn’t owe any political favors to. There was no chance this dude was going to get in to see The Obamessiah!
Here is the Vets for Freedom’s second ad.

Obama is so out of his depth. He didn’t have the guts to stick to his stance on his lapel pin, he won’t have the guts to stick by his stance on not meeting with the Troops and Petraeus. I’m setting my stop watch for how long it takes him to cave in to the pressure …. 5 …. 4 …. 3 …. 2 …..

He will CHANGE islamofascist homicidal kamikazes from even blowing themselves up! What a savior Obamessiah is Beth. If he wins Beth, burka up and no more driving, nor voting!
Since I have no personal knowledge of the circumstances I can’t comment on meeting in his offices. As a former lobiest for grass roots causes I know that people come walking in with demands and demand to be heard. Nothing turns off an aid faster than a loud demand. Aids are the filters and if they don’t think you are respectful or that are being rude, the senator or representative will likely not even know you are out there. But as I said. I was not there and don’t know.
I can say that Bush has gone to Iraq. He meets with generals. Then he denies vets their GI bill with raises and college tuition. Obama has supported GI Bills, Bush has not. Does meeting with the troops and generals count as support? Not if your name is George Bush it doesn’t.
Obama is not about grand-standing for votes. I prefer that to a two-faced photo-op visit when you know you are going to stab them in the back when you get home.
I want to add http://journeyends.org/ and hope people will pass the word and help me build a directory of links to resources to help our troops and their families. I don’t believe in the war but I strongly support those sent to fight.
