I have the utmost respect for all our military and all war heroes, and veterans! Do NOT twist my words!! Did Obama tout his books in his speech? NO. Did McCain tout his heroism. Yes. Boasting about what he did turned me off. Not his service to this country! GOT IT BUCCO??!! BTW Have you lost anyone dear to you in this present war? I didn't think so.

Having served in Vietnam...the answer to your question is YES I have lost folks dear to me in war, perhaps not Iraq....HOWEVER what is the point of the question ?

YES...Sen Obama touted his book many times during the beginning of the primary then he found that folks were finding things that were DIFFERENT in each and he backed off. I hear about his COMMUNITY ORGANIZING and such much more than I hear about Sen McCain service to the country.

In any case, please explain what losing someone in Iraq has to do with Sen Obama writing two.....TWO...books about HIMSELF....and Sen McCain talking about his background ? Which by the way I WISH SEN OBAMA WOULD DO...it is absolutely interesting !
