>> 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 plane 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.
