"FROM G.I. IN AFGHANISTAN - "WE GOT MORE THANKS FROM THE DALLAS COWBOY CHEERLEADERS" THAN FROM SENATOR OBAMA"
This is from a USAF friend in Afghanistan:
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 Americans 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.
In service,
CPT J Bagram, Afghanistan
But the only footage we will ever see is apparently that shot by his own camera crew.
BUMP!
I’d check the authenticity of this email. Obama is snooty and arrogant for sure, but he is not stupid. If there are points to be scored shaking hands he will do it with a smile.
Dont be sorry.You certainly have earned the right to voice your opinion anyway you damn please.Thank you for your, and everyone elses ,service.
Here let me try:
THANK YOU!
If Slick Willy “loathed the military,” it's pretty obvious how Obammie the Commie feels about the US military.
They are the enemy, because they protect the US Constitution, and that is the document that stands in the way of the Left’s totalitarianism.
Thank you for posting this. Wow.
Yeah ... the 3 pointer basketball shot that took five attempts before sinking it. He's still trying to make up for his abysmal bowling attempt a few weeks ago.
Thank you for your service, and for your bravery.
Remember what Andrea Mitchell said...Obama’s campaign controlled what was shown and what wasn’t.
Obama - just the latest Demonrat who loathes the military. Except, unlike Hillary and JFKerry, he actually wants to live to see the Islamic Jihadists sweep American soldiers and their allies, especially Israel, into the dustbin of History.
Take that back. Hillary wanted the same thing.
JFKerry wanted the commies to do it.
Stooopid is as Stooopid does. You can't cure stooopid.
bttt
Eff Obama
We know he’s a fraud. The whole basket ball photo op was pre-arranged. He also wanted to make sure he didn’t have to fake play with white soldiers. As he says in one of his books, he doesn’t hang with white people. He doesn’t trust them because they are white.
Quick, alert the media!
Basketball !? What was for lunch, fried chicken and watermelon ?
Talk about stereotyping.
Obama only cares about himself.
Sorry, troops. Just be sure your ballots are to your precincts before November!
Just like John F’n Kerry, so fake. I wondered if he played hoops while wearing dress slacks, coat & tie ?
