Busted… Team O Plants 3 “Surprised” Veterans at Out-of-the-Way Diner to Speak With Obama – Then Releases Their Bios
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, July 25, 2012, 5:32 PM
PORTLAND, OREGON – June 24, 2012 – President Barack Obama visited Portland Tuesday greeting diners Mark Peterson, center, and Thomas Foeller, right, at the Gateway Breakfast House in an unschedueld stop on the way to fundraisers at the Oregon Convention Center. Michael Lloyd/The Oregonian.

But then the truth eked its way out—-
The three veterans were not regulars.
They just happened to be sitting in a booth at the diner when Obama popped in.
Victoria Taft has more, via Orbusmax:
“No, they were not regulars.” The waitress who served President Obama, Mary, told me the veterans with whom the President discussed “health care” were not regulars. “Well, maybe one of the guys came in here before…”

In fact, the Obama Campaign even had a copy of their bios on hand.
And, one of the veterans just happens to be an Obama for America volunteer!
For the record, I know that both parties do this.....that is, try to use veterans for political gain. But what I thought was interesting about this particular incident is that it was so deliberately and amateurishly staged, and that the Obama campaign didn't even try to paper over the blatant links between the campaign, and the "accidental" appearance of these guys in that restaurant at that moment in time; and also that they tried to pass them off as "regulars" at the restaurant. Did they not think that maybe, just maybe, one of the employees might blow the lid off the thing?

The democrat facility for lying about anything without any kind of reservations about it is as compelling as any other reason to throw them out of office.

No, yes, some Im sure like being used like tools.

What I find more repugnant is we disciplined Corporal Jesse Thorsen for HIS CHOICE to show support for a candidate.

But when recruited for THE SAME USE by the commander in chief.. it's ok. :mad5

It's just like the rocks on the beach at Normandy all over again. Nothing this guy does to try and relate to the people or seem likable is real. It's all staged. The only thing he does that is genuine is try to destroy the country.

That was Bill Clinton.
