This was sent to me recently. Figured it's worth a read and it says volumes about John McCain verses Barack Hussein Obama
John McCain's Sons
Talk about putting your most valuable where your mouth is!
Apparently this was not "newsworthy"enough for the media to comment about. Can either of the other presidential candidates truthfully come close to this?
.... Just a question for each of us to seek an answer,and not a statement.
You see...character is what's shown when the public is not looking.
There were no cameras or press invited to what you are about to read
about, and the story comes from one person in New Hampshire.
One evening last July, Senator John McCain of Arizona arrived at
the New Hampshire home of Erin Flanagan for sandwiches, chocolate-chip cookies and a heartfelt talk about Iraq. They had met at a presidential debate, when she asked the candidates what they would do to bring home American soldiers like her brother, who had been killed in action a few months earlier.
Mr. McCain did not bring cameras or press. Instead, he brought his
youngest son, James McCain, 19, then a private first class in the Marine
Corps about to leave for Iraq. Father and son sat down to hear more about Ms. Flanagan's brother Michael Cleary, a 24-year-old Army First Lieutenant killed by an ambush ... a roadside bomb.
No one mentioned the obvious: In just days, Jimmy McCain could face similar perils. 'I can't imagine what it must have been like for them as they were coming to meet with a family that ......' Ms. Flanagan recalled, choking up. 'We lost a dear one,' she finished.
Mr McCain, now the presumptive Republican nominee, has staked his candidacy on the promise that American troops can bring stability
to Iraq. What he almost never says is that one of them is his own son, who spent seven months patrolling Anbar Province and learned of his father's New Hampshire victory in January while he was digging a stuck military vehicle out of the mud.
Two of Jimmy's three older brothers went into the military. Doug
McCain, 48, was a Navy pilot. Jack McCain, 21, is to graduate from the
Naval Academy next year, raising the chances that his father, if elected, could become the first president since Dwight D. Eisenhower with a son at war.
Has anybody heard if Barack Hussein Obama has served in The
American Armed Services?
This is for all you Barack voters.
From Barack's book, Audacity of Hope:
"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in
an ugly direction."
HE DID NOT SAY STAND WITH AMERICANS!!!!!
