11. What got me today Obama had a Reservists who asked a very important question & MSM didn't mention it
Damn! What the H - do we have to get our own damn TV station for the truth? I am going to email Ed Schultz on this and let him know how I feel. He was on Race for the White House tonight with Gregory and all I heard before I finally turned it was about Rev. Wright for almost 20 minutes! I am so sick of not getting the REAL issues out there for us to talk about as I know most if not all the people who really care do too!

Anyway the young lady said she had fought in the Middle East, and her husband was on his way to Germany to be deployed there again, as she spoke to Sen. Obama. She said that she had a cohort in the Reserves who had come to her in tears and told her that his family could not get the health care they needed now that he was back in the US! He said it would be better if was in Iraq again!

Sen. Obama said that he agreed that there is a huge problem in this area with the Reservists and the Guard and said that if our country was going to continue to use them as "regular" Army/Navy/Marines with constant deployments one right after another then they should get the same benefits as "regular" solders do! I support that 100%! He should make an ad with that in it! I think our heroes of the guard and reserves, which 2 of my sons are, should be commended and helped along instead of handing out millions of dollars to the Iraqi shills and thieve like KBR and Halliburton!!!!!!!!!!
