"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
Soldiers are only props for the Great Obama.
Bttt
No one care about Obama in Afganistan, We all care about our troops there.
Thanks for the words from our troops, I seen more press this week about Afganistan and Iraq covering Obama then have been in the last year covering the awesome job our military is doing over there.
Thanks for the post
I still don’t understand. IF he is touring as a Senator, and we the taxpayers are paying for it, shouldn’t the media be allowed to film it and report it?
And shouldn’t the campaign NOT be doing anything?
Sounds that way to me.
Thanks for posting this. Ping to the Canteen crew - will post a link there too.
Agreed....
Attention heroes & heroines:
Be sure to exercise the power of your vote and show NObama what you think of his visit!!!!!
BTW...love you all....Thank GOD for you!
“Other reporters said, they wondered what channel will be on when he BECOMES president.”
Doesn’t matter what channel.....there are no TV sets on Mars.
(cause he ain’t gettin’elected here!!!)
If the letter is legit Capt. Bagram will be stationed in Antartica as a private under an Obama Admin.

“Obama is snooty and arrogant for sure, but he is not stupid.” A smart puppets is still just a smart puppet. Obamessiah flew into Afghanistan for the press coverage, not to gather any data or thank anyone. Obamessiah is doing exactly as his idrectors tell him to do ... proof is that he left the shrill Michelle at home on this trip. Do be just another managed voter. Obama is the dnc puppet meant to expand the Reid/Pelosi empowerment and thus expand dnc control over this wanning Republic.
SO I’d say Hillary is a fool for giving him her endorsement. If he wins her days of runnning for POTUS are over. She might have a show with MAC in there.
GRRRR,Here’s a bump.
Sissy's tend to get nervous around real men.
Plus, in Obama's world view, out of uniform and back home again, most GIs are just those small town white guys clinging to God and Guns that he is so uncomfortable with.
