Obama in Afghanistan


OK folks, here it is...... the straight dope on Senator Obama. This letter was sent to me by a friend in Springville , UT who got it from her friend who has a son serving in Afghanistan .



This is her son's e-mail telling about Obama's appearance in Bagram Afghanistan the other day. I'll let his letter speak for itself. I don't know if you saw him shooting hoops on the news while he was there, but here's the other side of the coin as it was observed first hand by an American soldier






----- Forwarded Message ---- 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 Clam Shell (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.

SABR...

According to snopes.com, this story is false.

http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/afghanistan.asp

I wish that TOTV members would take a few minutes to check on the authenticity of articles, links and videos they post. Regardless of your political stance, it really damages your credibility (and that of your cause) to post false information.

(Sigh) Yet another false story on Obama. Haven't we had enough already? Get a grip people.

Well, this gem of mis-information comes from the poster who said "Enjoy and then think deeply what language you want your kids to learn a few years from now. Personally I prefer English to Muslim."

Someone who thinks Muslim is a language obviously isn't on top of things.

(Sigh) Yet another false story on Obama. Haven't we had enough already? Get a grip people.

Snopes calls it "False"

Bucco, Obama doesn't scare me, I'm voting for him. McCain scares me.


We'll just wait and see how it turns out in November. ;D

Right....hey you made up your mind and are voting the way you want...that is democracy.

My problem is that never in history has there been anyone that made it to the candidacy for the US Presidency with such very very questionble mentors, advisors and associates. Anyone else would have been "vetted" out of the race. From a first job with Saul Alinsky an unabashed radical socialist (who Obama refers to as one of largest influences) to associations with folks like William Ayers of the Weatherman radical group of the 60's to Rev Wright and others it reads like a ficton piece about a radical left wing guy who by the way just received the ringing endorsement of the American Communist Party.

Hey...if elected and he should be simply based on the current climate, he may do great but what this country does NOT NEED is any further movement left and with Obama we will be going far left as fast as he can get us there !

Hope it is ok if I add to my post....

First everything I said is fully accurate and verifiable

Secondly, please read the current Obama sponsored bill before Congress right now...the Global Poverty act which will cost this country if passed something like 450,000,000,000 dollars (yeah that is the right amount of zeros)....and also please read his quotes about "reallocating the worlds resources".....if that does not smack of the birth of communism in Russia.....

Ok...will go away

OMG! If we move any further right we'll be over the cliff! Sorry, I'm not buying all the smear campaigns. Obama's got my vote. Just my American opinion. ;D

Are there really people out there who think that Muslim is a language?

OMG! We really are in trouble in this country!!! Sad


Shirleevee

And to top it off, he's been caught without his flag pin (gasp)! He's obviously unpatriotic.

OMG! If we move any further right we'll be over the cliff! Sorry, I'm not buying all the smear campaigns. Obama's got my vote. Just my American opinion.

Chelsea, you and I and all of us have a right to our opinions. Just gotta make sure I clarify.....I am NOT a McCain supporter (both candidates are weak in my opinion)...I am not sure I agree with you that we have gone right at all (that is what the country THOUGHT we were getting)


, but that is subject to opinions, however what I said about Senator Obama is certainly not smear...all facts and with absolutely no record to investigate I am basing my concern strictly on those he associated with as I do with any folks I meet...you do know a person by his associates

In any case just wanted to make sure you understood..I am NOT a fervant McCain supporter just scared of the alternative !Q
