The McCain campaign issued the following statement today:

Today, Dr. Danny Jazarevic, who served as the Chief of Trauma, Critical Care and Vascular Surgery at Landstuhl, issued the following statement on Barack Obama's canceled visit to Ramstein and Landstuhl:

"Last week, Senator Obama skipped a visit with wounded U.S. troops at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany because the Pentagon would not allow campaign staff or media to accompany him into the hospital. I served as director of trauma surgery at that hospital for nearly four years and saw the effect that a visit from a celebrity like Senator Obama could have on morale. During that time, I do not recall a single member of Congress canceling a visit with the troops despite being just a few hours away, but Senator Obama seems to have been more concerned with how the visit would affect him than how it would affect the soldiers recovering from wounds received in the service of their country."

Obama's travel itinerary must look like this:
:no: cameras, :no: visit

... because the Pentagon would not allow campaign staff or media to accompany him into the hospital.

There's a definition of morality or ethical behavior that involves doing the right thing even when there is no possibility anyone will see you do it or ever know you did it.

In Barack Hussein's case, it would seem he and the "peeps" he's hired won't even go through the motions of doing something that even looks remotely moral or ethical without his hand picked entourage of sound, light, camera, campaign handlers, and a fawning press.

Yo Barak Hussein, a trip to a military hospital to visit servicemen and women who have been wounded in battle is not a photo op for politicians; such visits aren't about the visitor at all. They're about the servicemen and women. Why else would anyone go to a ward full of wounded soldiers? Do you really think they enjoy being treated like your "supporting cast"?
