New McCain ad says Obama isn’t there for the troops
Not surprisingly the McCain campaign is trying to paint Obama as a career politician who ignores the needs of our troops. Unfortunately they forget to mention that John McCain voted against a new GI bill supported by Democrats including Obama and Republicans. The new bill would provide a greater range of benefits to troops much like those received by John McCain when he served in Vietnam. The hypocrisy is that McCain thinks the bill was too generous for troops while having received relatively generous benefits during his service.
Obama only voted against the troop funding to protest against the war and every other Congressmen who essentially rubber stamped the bill. Hillary also opposed it and I think it was a bold move considering how unnecessary this war has become. If all policymakers blindly go along with the President then God (or Allah) help us all!
