Vice President Biden Greets Recently Returned Troops in NC

It adds a bit of extra sincerity to his remarks about health care for veterans that he is not a millionaire and he has a son who is actually in the fight. This is an area of bipartisan concern that Biden can really have an impact on.

LMAO, they brought Biden out of the closet, to see if he would put his foot in his mouth again LMAO…
STAND UP CHUCK..STAND UP

LOL You think he is not a millionaire? His income disclosures are very vague and as soon as he retires from “public service” he will get a fat pension, get work writing books, making speeches, and lobbying his former colleagues. Not only will he have all of that waiting, due to the outrageous campaign finance rules, he will get to keep whatever money is left in his re-election campaign account. There are several politicians who have children in the military, good for them, but I am much more impressed with the politician who actually served in the military himself. Like Bush, McCain, etc… instead of like Clinton, Gore, Biden, Obama

He should be able to greet a few at Dover DE – a short drive from his house.

“Not only will he have all of that waiting, due to the outrageous campaign finance rules, he will get to keep whatever money is left in his re-election campaign account”
Politicians do not get to keep what is left in campaign accounts as personal income.
The money is refunded.

“these are the cats who want vets to pay for their own health care upon returning from war”
Where is the bill proposal for that?
Discussing that has as much validity as Bush’s plan to take us to Mars.

“McCain of course famously served as a naval aviator.”
Albeit, not a very good one so we’ve learned. But a man very deserving of out respect and sympathy for the dues paid in that POW camp.
“Bush spent maybe a year or two with the Texas Air National Guard with most of that time spent working on a campaign.”
The blow was OUTSTANDING.

“Putting Bush and McCain in the same sentence as service is laughable.”
What do you know about military service? What for example, is your military service?

“What do you know about military service?”
I know that 23 years of active duty service after graduation from the Naval Academy including 6 years in a theater of war most of which were spent as a POW far outweighs the service of 5 years of service stateside with the National Guard when 1 of those years which is unaccounted for and another year was spent working on a congressional campaign.
Whether Bush spent the whole time drunk and doing coke, we cannot be certain.

gore was a reporter in vietnam…on whose side? i bet he sat around saying,”is it getting warmer over here?

I’ll take Bush’s honorable military service as an officer and F-102 pilot as being more substantial than someone who has never served in the military.

“We will convey,” said Barack Obama to the Turkish Parliament Monday, “our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over the centuries to shape the world — including in my own country.”
Undeniably the Islamic faith has done a great deal to shape the world – a statement that makes no value judgment about exactly how it has shaped the world. It has formed the dominant culture in what is known as the Islamic world for centuries. But what on earth could Obama mean when he says that Islam has also “done so much” to shape his own country?
Unless he considers himself an Indonesian, Obama’s statement was extraordinarily strange. After all, how has the Islamic faith shaped the United States? Were there Muslims along Paul Revere’s ride, or standing next to Patrick Henry when he proclaimed, “Give me liberty or give me death”? Were there Muslims among the framers or signers of the Declaration of Independence, which states that all men – not just Muslims, as Islamic law would have it – are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Were there Muslims among those who drafted the Constitution and vigorously debated its provisions, or among those who enumerated the Bill of Rights, which guarantees – again in contradiction to the tenets of Islamic law – that there should be no established national religion, and that the freedom of speech should not be infringed?
There were not.

According to a Pakistani newspaper, “regional envoy Richard Holbrooke and Joint Chiefs Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen came up empty-handed and received a “rude shock” when a proposal for joint operations against al Qaeda and Taliban forces in the volatile tribal regions was rejected by President Zardari.”
Pakistan also asked the U.S. to turn over the unmanned drone missions over the territory and the technology to them.
And we’re going to give the Pakistanis $7.5 billion on top of that?

Its not about McCain vs Obama anymore, or Bush vs Obama, this article was about service men and women coming home from war to their families. It is about not being able to see your spouse, children, parents etc. for 15 months for most of the people there. Its about what people have signed up to do for this country. Honer that. If you are so supportive of McCain and Bush because they served the country you would understand what this artilce is truly about and not use it to complain!
