Obama owes Disabled Veterans an apology for his demeaning TV Ad making fun of Senator John McCain's Military Service injuries. Obama's TV Ad clearly shows he does not respect what our sons and daughters and family members are suffering through when they return home from war with severe injuries and try to adjust back into our society with their disabilities.

Obama has reached the bottom of the political sludge barrel in approving a TV commercial depicting John McCain as Internet illiterate, out of touch and incapable of using email at his age. When in fact, John McCain today serves on the Senate Science Technology Innovation Committee; to include being a former Chairman of the Committee.

It's a well-known fact that John McCain was tortured as a Vietnam POW for years, to the point that today, he cannot raise his arms above his shoulders and has limited use of his hands and arms. The fact that Obama knows this makes his advertisment statement a personal criticism of all U.S. Service Connected Disabled Veterans, to include those who continue to honorably serve our country today with their disabilities!

Veterans are putting national news groups on notice: Obama gets no more free press passes on his sick, unfounded, and outlandish statements without their being economic fallout repercussions from consumers. Obama's out of touch TV Ad against John McCain shows America youth his impaired judgment is only dividing Americans, not uniting them.

STOP the press! The question that should be asked of Obama is; since you want to be elected commander in chief of America, why did you decide not to enlist and serve in Americans armed forces?

Former President Bill Clinton in 1995 committed 20,000 U.S. troops to the Bosnia War. Clinton told Congress that our troops would be there for one year. President Clinton failed to support a withdrawal timeline of pulling U.S. troops out. Today some U.S. troops are still serving in Bosnia and because of that U.S. commitment, our troops brought an end to war in the Balkans.

Obama, while campaigning for president has repeatedly advocated a cut-and-run Iraq policy. Obama was against the U.S. troop surge. McCain was a strong advocate for the Iraq troop surge and lead the fight with other Senators in calling on President Bush to enact the surge. Now all Americans can see Obama's Iraq policy would have been a complete failure for America and the people of Iraq, to include worsening the political destabilization of the Middle East.

Obama had to issue three separate reports as to his policy stand concerning the Georgia conflict with Russia. John McCain got it right in his first statement covering the issue, as to America's response for an ally in need. Obama's indecisiveness during a foreign crisis sent the wrong message to Georgia and Russia officials.

Obama and Biden denouncing John McCain's inability to be our next president and commander in Chief, should be compared to the fictional characters in the movie Dumb And Dumber!

Obama's campaign states he's the one that can unite Americans and our country. Obama then ran Ads attacking Hillary Clinton, women's groups cried out Obama was being sexist against Hillary while the democrat party leadership kept their mouth shut. Obama went on to say he would be attacked because he does not look like other presidents on our dollar bills. Obama said he was not playing the race card in making his statement.

From the day John McCain nominated Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his VP running mate, Obama has been running a presidential race against Governor Sarah Palin. Obama's VP pick Joe Biden has been missing in action as the "attack dog" against Sarah Palin. Additionally, Obama's attack Ads toward Sarah Palin are being viewed as gender biased and sexist. Again Obama's misguided judgment is turning women voters against him and current polls are showing this to be a fact.

Now Obama has a TV Ad out directed toward young voters depicting John McCain as computer illiterate, out of touch and cannot use email at his age. Obama is fully aware McCain's only problem in using a computer is because of his service connected disabilities. I fail to see Obama's use of any reasonable, good judgment in conducting his campaign in this disgraceful manner toward John McCain and Americans with special needs and problems in life.

Speaking for myself as a Native American service connected disabled veteran, I fully respect and honor John McCain's service to our nation today. American youth should look up to John McCain as a national roll model for all it stands for in being a citizen of America. I have faith in American youth in their abilities and judgment to see Obama's misguided judgment toward others. American youth is our country's backbone and future.

Veterans have no problem facing the American flag, saluting it, and stating country first.
