Obama and Veterans

Veterans appear to realize that Obama doesn't have the right stuff.

From Politico:

President Barack Obama is trying hard to win veterans, but it looks like they’d prefer a new commander in chief.

The Obama campaign had been hoping that veterans and their families — especially among the post-Sept. 11 generation that served in Iraq and Afghanistan — would be part of their path to victory: They’re a high turn-out demographic and concentrated in battleground states, with nearly 1 million each in North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia, and 1.6 million in Florida.

But recent polls make clear that the president’s campaign is losing the battle. Even as Obama leads in Colorado, Florida, Ohio and Virginia, Mitt Romney is up by double digits among veterans in those states. Nationwide, he’s got a commanding 20-percentage-point lead over Obama and has even overtaken the president with younger veterans.

“It’s no contest,” said Maurice Tamman, a Reuters data news editor who has polled on veterans and the presidential campaign.
And these figures don't account for Obama's latest foreign policy disgrace, his "bumps in the road" comment.

Obama is so naive.

His words of support for the military are meaningless. His actions are what matter.

No wonder Obama is down by double digits with veterans.

My guess is veterans are turned off by this sort of disgusting self-absorption:




The desecrated flag is no longer for sale on Obama's website, but the fact that it ever was offered is an indication of how out of touch Obama is with the brave men and women of our military.
