Obama skips visit with wounded troops

July 25, 2008

Barack Obama canceled a planned visit with wounded U.S. troops at a U.S. military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany The Obama campaign said that it would have been inappropriate to make the stop because Obama was concerned the trip would have been viewed as a campaign event. But the Pentagon said Obama was welcome at the hospital -- but without his campaign staff or the dozens of reporters accompanying him. Jon Decker reports.
