Busted… Team O Plants 3 “Surprised” Veterans at Out-of-the-Way Diner to Speak With Obama – Then Releases Their Bios

Here's a report via Oregon Live:

All have connections to the Obama reelection campaign and were presumably chosen for good political reasons.

None of the three vets knew each other before being chosen by the Obama campaign to meet with the president.

Dilley, 60, who served in the Army for three years and worked for Honda until retiring in 2009, said he has done a little voter registration work for the campaign.  But he said he thinks he came to the campaign's attention when he called a couple of months ago asking if he could talk to the president about veterans issues.

"I never expected it to happen," Dilley added with a laugh.

 Foeller, who said he's mostly active in a group fighting colorectal cancer, said he's also done some volunteer work for the Obama campaign.  And Peterson said his wife volunteers for the campaign.

On Tuesday morning, all three met with a staffer and were driven to the restaurant and arrived shortly before Obama.  The three said the restaurant workers and other patrons received notice only a few minutes before the president arrived.

Foeller and Dilley said Obama ate half of a cheese sandwich and skipped the ham in his split pea soup.  "He's a pretty tall and slender guy," said Dilley.  "Maybe that's why."

    Someone buried the lede! Obama doesn’t eat ham??

  2. TruthTeller says:

    Muslims don’t eat pork. They can’t because it’s a sin.
    But they can lie like a rug and it’s not.
    If Obama is a true Christian then I’m Jesus Christ

    He has obviously been spoiled by the flavor of dog. Tasty, tasty dog.

    So three guys, all connected with the Obama reelection campaign who did not know each other and who had been driven to the restaurant by an Obama campaign worker happened to be sitting together at the random table picked out by the president at which he sat down to chat.
    Well, if he really picked people at random to sit down with he might encounter another Joe the Plumber who might embarrass him.
    So instead his campaign by setting up a fake chance encounter, did the embarrassing for him!
    I am afraid his campaign is going to the dogs.

    Real veterans working for the Obama campaign and agreeing to be part of a BS setup like this? I’m not buying it.

    Obama doesn’t eat pork, he eats puppies.

  7. So Whar says:

    But its a sin to eat pork? wow did not the 9-11 hijackers hang oput in stripper bars and drink?

  8. Bill says:

    here’s one I heard the other day. . . .
    Three guys walk into a diner. . . .
    HAH!

    How telling is that little ham tidbit? Muslim POS.

  10. ArthurVandalay says:

    Turns out the cook didn’t make that meal. Somebody else did that.

  11. Pete says:

    It had to be staged because no self respecting veteran would associate himself with a man determined to tear down the military. I am a retired Master Chief Petty Offcier and am totally disgusted with the way Obama is treating our Military.

  12. Ragspierre says:

    “wow did not the 9-11 hijackers hang oput in stripper bars and drink?”
    Which beats a ham sandwich all to hell…!!!

  13. Jon Gorman says:

    Obama’s entire life is a staged event. Whenever he goes off script he puts his foot in his mouth. Like the “you did not build your own business” gaffe. Taking lessons from Biden no doubt.

  14. Dina says:

    Was wondering if the ham reference was picked up on. Guess others see things as I do! Good job.

  15. bob says:

    Desperation is all that needs to be said. Democrats are all panhandlers, everyone with their hand out. Remember the black woman saying she’s still waiting? Bozo has failed and she still waits. Bozo knows its to late now! Romney is the right guy at the right time and the nation isn’t stupid!

    Mr Riehl, if that is indeed your name, have you no integrity at all?

  17. Gunga says:

    Actually, they were composites of several vets…
    …and in America, we eat tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches.

    I think the admin of this website is really working
    hard in favor of his web page, because here every material is quality based data.
    Great info it is actually. My teacher has been looking for this content.
