On Countdown, Keith Olberman debunks the lies put out by the McCain camp regarding Obama visiting the troops.
'As for the claim that Obama went to the gym instead
the footage used in the McCain ad of Obama in the gym is of Obama, playing basketball with the troops he visited in Kuwait,' Olberman said.
Republican Chuck Hagel who accompanied Obama on his trip, stated he does not believe McCain's attack ad is appropriate.
Senior Advisor to the Obama camp, Robert Gibbs, calls the McCain ad "dishonorable" and points out that after visiting troops on earlier stops of his trip as he toured in a Senatorial capacity, Obama did not hold a planned private (no media) visit with the injured troops during the political leg of his trip (which was campaign funded), because he did not want to politicize our injured troops.
