Obama: Romney Didn’t Mention Veterans In Final Debate
Obama: Romney Didn’t Mention Veterans In Final Debate
President Obama attacked Mitt Romney, saying he failed to mention America's veterans in the final debate on foreign policy, during a rally in Delray Beach, Florida Tuesday morning.
"In the same way that Gov. Romney did not mention the Afghan war or our troops,"Obama said, referencing Romney's convention speech, "he did not mention the veterans last night -- or our troops, he did not mention the veterans last night. He did not say a word about it."
Obama continued: "The men and women and their families who have served this country so bravely…they deserve better in somebody who is applying to be commander in chief. It is my greatest honor. I will fight for our veterans and our troops every single day."

Maybe he didn't want to call attention to his chicken hawk familiy.
