Obama in Iraq

I don't know how much of this is true but it does sound like some of the media reports may have been correct. Andrea Mitchell of NBC said she didn't report on a lot of the pictures coming out because they were provided by military personnel and no reports were allowed admittance. Therefore, she didn't feel they were news worthy. Too bad some of the other media didn't see through the ruse.

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 were 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 Cheer leaders 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.
