McCain Ad Hits Obama Over Blowing Off Troops

Obama almost made it through his World Tour without screwing up but he couldn't quite do it and even the MSM has followed up on the troop visit story.

Now McCain has an ad up in D.C. and parts of Colorado and Pennsylvania taking Obama to task for skipping the chance to visit wounded troops.

McCain continues the attack in an interview with ABC's This Week. He says if he found himself in the position Obama was in, his reaction to the Pentagon would have been "seismic". For all my disagreements with McCain, I have no doubt he's telling the truth about that.

This is obviously an issue right in McCain's wheelhouse and he's not going to let it go.
