It is strange that the rest of us are more disturbed than the man who is applying for the job that requires him to be the most disturbed. When you read about his explanation you know it doesn’t sound right; when you look at the video you instantly know why. He is glib and remorseless because he really doesn’t understand the military and self-sacrifice in that way. If there is any one single reason to select a President, all other reasons placed on the side, it would have to what type of Commander-In-Chief he/she would make. Suddenly the difference between him and McCain takes on an undeniable new meaning, that should have been seen all along, except for the blinding light of a false media lighthouse, that is just as reckless and uncaring as their “golden calf” candidate.

What RPMO (break that down for yourself) is those wounded troops literally gave of themselves to their country to be where they are, likely face months of surgery and grueling physical therapy to recover what they can of their lives, and would have appreciated the visit. Yet their presumptive “Commander-in-Chief” couldn’t dump his campaign advisor, skip his workout in a nice hotel gym, or pass up a photo op with an obviously smitten reporter for them.

Of course his excuse makes no sense. If you really care for wounded soldiers you would do anything to make that meeting a reality.

Any time you offer free beer you can put together a crowd of Germans; when you offer free bratwurst as well expect an enormous showing. After they drink the beer and eat the bratwurst any discussion about what is wrong with the US will invoke a loud applause.

When the Germans sobered up the sobering thought of contributing more troops into NATO, to help in Afghanistan, could not have gone well. In fact they should be thrilled that we are essentially alone in Iraq and cut the critique since their purse strings have been tightly shut. They expected us to pick up the NATO expense when we were right next-door in Bosnia. When it comes to bull the UN and NATO have many members. When it comes to expending blood and money most of it comes from the US and Britain and everyone else forgets that they are part of the deal.

The recent Batman movie, “The Dark Knight” has been compared to W because of the way Batman deals with real World evil. I would say that analogy is largely correct. On the other had there is no real Batman and there is no real Barack Obama. Both are media creations. To elect Obama to be the US Presidency would be no different than electing Christian Beale, the actor who played Batman. They are both actors who are larger than life only as fictional characters. This election is about real facts vs. fake image. The image is media created and as I see the facts are in the process of being created and shaped in the same fashion.
