I would really like to know what everyone's opinion is on this story:

McCain, Obama spar over canceled troop visit GOP campaign says Democrat shortchanged 'injured American heroes'

WASHINGTON - Republican John McCain's campaign on Saturday sharply criticized Democratic rival Barack Obama for canceling a visit to wounded troops in Germany, contending Obama chose foreign leaders and cheering Europeans over "injured American heroes."

Obama's campaign called the accusation "wildly inappropriate." His spokesman has claimed that the visit to a military hospital in Germany was scrapped after the Pentagon raised concerns about political activity on a military base. Earlier, though, the campaign had said Obama decided the visit might be seen as inappropriate politicking. However, the Pentagon said the senator was never told not to visit.

A new McCain ad that began airing Saturday in selected markets also chides Obama as disrespectful for making "time to go to the gym" during his European visit while at the same time canceling the visit with wounded troops.

Why would Obama care about American troops? He's made it perfectly clear, he is a "citizen of the world." quote.

I suppose globalization is closer than I imagined. And I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m sad.

The integration of different people who have refused to assimilate, has been the disintegration of the greatest country on earth, The United States of America.
