Topic: Obama Under Fire For Activities During Vietnam | |
---|---|
WASHINGTON—At a press conference on Monday, members of the Vietnam Veterans Alliance blasted Democratic nominee Barack Obama for his failure to serve in the Southeast Asian war that ended 33 years ago, alleging that during the conflict the candidate frequently engaged in games of T-ball. "While our boys were dying in Vietnam, Barack Obama was running around a little league field, laughing and having fun without a care in the world," VVA spokesman James Lowry said. "John McCain left his wife and three children behind and fought bravely, but I guess Sen. Obama decided that practicing cursive and learning how to ride a bike was just more important than defending his country in her hour of need. I bet he wasn't even able to point out Vietnam on a map." Lowry later speculated that if Obama had been sent over to fight in the conflict, he probably would have peed his pants and cried for his mommy as soon as he touched down in Saigon.

The Obama campaign reacted quickly, insisting the junior senator from Illinois was 7 years old at the height of the war. They did admit he was admitted to the hospital as a toddler to get his tonsils out, but insisted he was too young to serve anyway and the hospitalization was not an excuse to get out of duty.
Not sure how valid this is, I just found it. |

c'mon the military has fine medical facilities.
They could have had his tonsils out and back on the front line all in the same day |

Barack Obama's mother was at least a dozen things. S. Ann Soetoro was a teen mother who later got a Ph.D. in anthropology; a white woman from the Midwest who was more comfortable in Indonesia; a natural-born mother obsessed with her work; a romantic pragmatist, if such a thing is possible. Not sure how valid this is, I just found it. |
