Obama Hides from America's Military Leaders

Iraq war veteran Pete Hegseth,Vets for Freedom PAC, wonders when the "hope" filled B. Hussein Obama will "change" from wanting to have group hugs with tyrants, terrorists, communists and other America-haters (aside from those in his own party and Obama cult-members in the main-stream media), to engaging in meaningful sit-downs with America's military heroes:
"Senator Obama has never sat down, one-on-one, with General Petraeus. Even worse, he hasn't visited Iraq, and our brave troops on the ground, in over two years. And on April 8, when two-dozen Illinois veterans went to his office for a meeting, Senator Obama was unwilling to meet with them. He was in his office, just wouldn't come out.

Sergeant Anderson was one of the 12 veterans denied a meeting with Senator Obama. And like his fellow veterans, Sergeant Anderson would like to ask Senator Obama a few questions: Why hasn't he met with General Petraeus? And why won't he visit Iraq? And why would Senator Obama rather talk about meeting—unconditionally—with Iran, instead of meeting with veterans and commanders? America deserves to know."
Could it be that Mr. Obama, who seeks to run our military, instead prefers to run from it? If this is an attempt at the unity that the leftist Obama keeps airily promising to bring to the nation, it is certainly a mystifying approach.
