FTA:
Pointing to the Bush administration, he said, "we know that over the last eight years we've already fallen short of meeting this test." He cited once shabby conditions at such facilities as Walter Reed Army Medical Center, and long waits and bureaucratic obstacles facing many who seek care from the Veterans Administration.
"When our troops go into battle, they serve no faction," Obama said. "They serve no party. They represent no race or region. They are simply Americans."
He proposed expanded veterans' benefits for health care, education, housing and psychiatric treatment. He said McCain opposes a Democratic-crafted bill in Congress to expand education benefits "because he thinks it's too generous."

Also FTA:
McCain's campaign said the Arizona senator backs a Republican alternative that is better because it enhances benefits for those who stay longer in the military, thereby encouraging recruitment and retention of troops.
So, this would lead me to believe that unless a Vet spent 20 years in the military, or were paralyzed from the neck down, Vets wouldn't qualify for VA benefits under McCain.

I must say that I was not a huge Obama supporter in the beginning.
But he has continued to impress me in ways that I did not anticipate.
He is RATIONAL where other politicians are crazy to pander.
That is unprecedented and totally refreshing.

I was always in Barack's corner. I am a pretty good judge of character and my instincts immediately moved toward him. I took a test sent to me by an email buddy, to see if I could separate serial killers from computer geeks, and got every one of them right! (Maybe I should be a profiler?) Anyway, I had no quarrel with Hillary becoming the nominee if that happened. However, since she and Bill have proven themselves to be no better, and in some ways, worse, than the repubs in their desperate bid to return to the Oval Office, I am loathe to think of them back in the WH. The ONLY way she will get my vote is if by some turn of events, Obama is eliminated (and I pray not!)
They have been forever tarnished in my eyes. In my gut, I believe Hillary is a closet repugnicon. Certainly her actions and statements of late are more closely aligned with them than with her fellow democrats.

I STILL think that Bill Richardson is the most qualified man to lead the turnaround of this country.
I guess he just didnt have the physical appeal that the voters need to get through the superficial election process.
Still, Obama wants to redirect the ship. It needs to be redirected.
Clinton and McCain both represent more of the same......can we go back to 1996?

I felt from the outset that Hillary was a divider, with good reason; that it would prevent her from having an effective administration. She and Bill are so hated by so many in an out of power. And she is proving my point these days by stooping pretty low to get that prize.

Hillary is desperate and showing what "white trash" the Clintons are. Let's try and get a word from the late Vince Foster who likely died because he knew too much about them.
Obama gives Americans hope and I pray that he doesn't nominate her for V.P.
