Default Obama apologizes
Quote:
"Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is apologizing for saying the lives of the more than 3,000 U.S. troops killed in the Iraq war were “wasted.”

"He immediately apologized on Sunday, saying the remark was “a slip of the tongue.”

“Even as I said it, I realized I had misspoken,” Obama said. “It is not at all what I intended to say, and I would absolutely apologize if any (military families) felt that in some ways it had diminished the enormous courage and sacrifice that they’d shown.”

Sad thing is they were wasted. This war is not doing us any good. They were brave, loyal, and duty-bound to fight for our country, so they deserve all our respect, but their lives were wasted, and no one will be held accountable. Also, sad to say that Obama had to apologize because too many people don't want to hear the truth.

Poor Obama made the same mistake Kerry did he actually said what he believes.

Remember what they said about Mel Gibson, "if he said it, he must have been thinking it"

Did this just pop into Obooma's head

If you don't like Obooma don't worry he isn't going anywhere, the Clinton Machine will get him.

I know one person who is currently in the military and a few veterans. But, you are right, I can't be certain they were brave and loyal? Why are you questioning their bravery and loyalty? Or are you just making the same type of mistake that Obama made?

I thought it was a "botched joke"? LOL Anyhow, Kerry's whole presidential run last year was both botched and a joke.
