McCain goes on the offensive.

I still don't understand why Obama would cancel his trip to visit the bases in Germany and particularly why he would cancel his visit to the hospital to see the wounded troops.

So what if he could not bring his entourage, the cameras, and the news anchors. This of course would make it a campaign trip... which is a no-no...but I think it was a significant tactical mistake. It is hard to spin this into a positive, no matter what excuses you throw out there. McCain is making it a political issue and has come out already with a political ad.
