Obama: Made For TV or the Real Deal?

Subject: First Hand Report on BarackObama's visit to Afghanistan

This is a first hand account from the cousin of one of our friends.

I don't know each of your personal political convictions,
but I thought it was important enough to share.
This is Jeff's first hand view of Senator Obama.

> 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

> I swear we got more thanks from the NBA Basketball

that's pretty sad. how can anyone pass up an opportunity to thank the people risking their lives for us?

This confirms my own thoughts. Wish it could be put on the mainstream news, but they conveniently turn their backs to the truth, and don't report it. Thanks.
