What are your thoughts about Obama and McCain being at ground zero tomorrow?
I can't help but be grossed out by it - to be perfecly honest.
where were they the last 6 years?
I swear - I really HATE election years!

I think it's sick to use a day like tomorrow as a publicity stunt.

Are you sure they weren't there the last 6 years?

Re: What are your thoughts about Obama and McCain being at ground zero tomorrow?
It gets them attention. It's for their own cause, not for anyone who lost a loved one, or who was there that day.
Do they really think that we don't all know this????

not 100%, but my best guess would be no.

I would honestly think that McCain was probably affected by 9-11 atleast through connections at the Pentagon.

They'd probably get flack for not going- it's a no-win IMO.

If they quietly pay respects fine, if they use it as a photo op and a place to make a speech, disgusted.

I would have more respect for them if one went to the Pentagon and the other one went to Shanksville PA (where flight 93 crashed)
but for both of them to be at ground zero in my opinion is a sick publicity stunt

Re: What are your thoughts about Obama and McCain being at ground zero tomorrow?
I, too, think it's a no-win for both. If neither have been there before (and I don't know the facts), then yes, it's publicity and I'm against it. However, I'm sure they'd both get flack for not going, too.

Re: What are your thoughts about Obama and McCain being at ground zero tomorrow?
its called politics and they would get h e l l for NOT being there. Doesnt bother me at all. My FIL is in politics and tomorrow (which also happens to be his 26th anniversary) he'll be spending the day at a 9/11 memorial making a speech. Its part of being in politics -- and they want to pay their respects just like everyone else does, but they also have to make an appearance. Big deal.
ETA: for those of you who are saying "where were they the other 6 years?" did you ever think that on 9/11 in past years they were attending memorials that their home states or home towns were doing? Just because they never visited ground zero in previous years doesnt mean that this is all publicity.

it's awfully coincidental though, isn't it?
I know that every decent person the face of this earth was horrified on 9/11, I just hate to see a memorial like this be turned into a 3-ring political circus

ITA... I would hope that my presidential hopeful would pay respects...
it's POLITICS... this is nothing new.
They would catch more slack if they DIDN'T go...

Re: What are your thoughts about Obama and McCain being at ground zero tomorrow?
here's how I see it....
They shouldn't be there at all... mainly becuase there is a tinge of wanting to gain votes off of a tragedy.....
On the flip side, they would be creamed by the @sshole media if they DIDN'T both show up and give their respect to the families. Some family members would likely also feel genuinely neglected....
So d@mned if they do, d@mned if they don't.....

Re: What are your thoughts about Obama and McCain being at ground zero tomorrow?
it's a no-win situation. Some of the victims' family groups expect them to be there and if they aren't, get major flack for not being there. For others, they don't want them there, period.
While I don't like that it ends up being a photo-op, I'm ok with it, b/c both of them need to hear how the First Responders need to be looked after and cared for. More and more are sick, and we need to take care of these people. Both McCain and Obama need to hear that.

They both have to be there--it would look bad for them if they were not.
I don't remember what happened in 04--was Bush even there?

Yes! Obama should visit the Pentagon! Maybe he'd like to bring along his friends Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, so long as they promise not to BOMB IT AGAIN!

Re: What are your thoughts about Obama and McCain being at ground zero tomorrow?
I am sick of hearing about them as part of the 9/11 coverage.
I am pretty sure that they have never attended the last 6 years there would be no reason for them to attend.
Well atleast they have agreed to lay off of each other for today
