Hello everyone,

As you know I am not a very political person. I just wanted to pass along that Senator Obama came to Bagram Afghanistan for about an hour on his visit to "The War Zone". I wanted to share with you what happened. He got off the plan and got into a bullet proof vehicle, got to the area to meet with the Major General (2 Star) who is the commander here at Bagram. As the Soldiers where lined up to shake his hand he blew them off and didn't say a word as he went into the conference room to meet the General. As he finished, the vehicles took him to the ClamShell (pretty much a big top tent that military personnel can play basketball or work out in with weights) so he could take his publicity pictures playing basketball. He again shunned the opportunity to talk to Soldiers to thank them for their service. So really he was just here to make a showing for the American's back home that he is their candidate for President. I think that if you are going to make an effort to come all the way over here you would thank those that are providing the freedom that they are providing for you. I swear we got more thanks from the NBA Basketball Players or the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders than from one of the Senators, who wants to be the President of the United States. I just don't understand how anyone would want him to be our Commander-and-Chief. It was almost that he was scared to be around those that provide the freedom for him and our great country.

If this is blunt and to the point I am sorry but I wanted you all to know what kind of caliber of person he really is. What you see in the news is all fake.

I wonder why the media did not show this


I'll tell ya why cause it's pure bullcrap and anyone with a functioning brain knows it. Obama has been greeted by every troop he has come in contact with and all have shown respect towards Obama not the BS your trying to pass off here. Some of you here drink way to much koolaid from the fix news network or the drug addict and hannity on the radio. If you were an American stuck in Iraq by bush and company for your 2nd,3rd or even 4th tour who would you want as your president...someone who wants to keep you there forever or someone who wants you to come home alive sooner than later? Easy choice if you want to live a long life in this country...............Hell even the iraqis want us out of their country sooner than later. Atleast someone is listening to them instead of being deaf, dumb and blind to the obvious which is trying to prolong the failures of the past 7 years plus till they can get out of town which can't come soon enought for a majority in this country and the world..
