The pictures that are messing with the minds of Team McCain
While this
... is the photo most of the cable networks are running with (it shows Sen. Barack Obama sitting beside Gen. David Petraeus in a military aircraft,) ABC's Jake Tapper points out how little pic love the senior Senator on the trip: Jack Reed of Rhode Island, is getting from the snapperati. Chuck Hagel? He's doing slightly better.
Meanwhile, the Military News Network releases video of Barack Obama greeting the troops in Kuwait. Take a look at how young these soldiers look:
And this video shows Obama shooting some hoops with the soldiers, and sinking a big corner shot.
The military is strictly neutral, at least publicly. But its clear from the videos that, especially black troops, are hyped about Obama.
Meanwhile #2, from John McCain today: "hey you kids, get off my lawn!!!"
Meanwhile #3, a report says the U.S. Marines, like Obama, are increasingly focusing on Afghanistan, while the Iraq war continues to put the strain on military families.
