Obama Scraps Visit to Wounded US Soldiers

Barack Obama just wrapped up his World Tour where he made time to address hundreds of thousands of European citizens, meet with leader after leader, and conduct a number of press conferences. Some have suggested that Obama is more interested in being the president of the World than he is the President of the United States (the country that his wife has never been proud of).

His decision to not visit wounded US soldiers in Germany seems to support this claim. Wouldn't anyone who desires to be President of the United States place priority on visiting wounded US troops above giving campaign speeches in a foreign land? Let's face it, the wounded America soldiers were lying in hospital beds not far from Obama's location.

What does this say about Barack Obama as a man and as a leader?

Let's look at it this way for a moment; there is a good chance Obama will be the next President of the United States. In your opinion, what are his strengths? Don’t say there aren't any, because there are. Each candidate has strengths he will offer as President. Take away the fact that he is a democrat...and take away the fact that you are republican...in your opinion what strengths does he offer?

This isn't an argument about who is the right person for the job. This is an assumption that he is selected to do the job.

Let's stick to the topic here. : ) We are discussing his decision to visit with many Europeans, but not with the wounded soldiers from his own country. No matter how he behaves, he has not been elected. Last time I checked, the polls are still even considering they are within the statistical margin of error.
