A Punk in Afghanistan

Waiting For Obamassiah

If you haven't seen this :
I don't know each of your personal political  convictions, and apologize if anyone finds this offensive.  I  thought it was important enough to share.  This is my husband Jeff's  first hand view of Senator Obama.

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 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 like 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 caliber of person he really is.  What you see in the news is all fake.

Here's the Googled blowback.  But first, here's what I think to be the truth.  If Captain Porter's (he will never be Maj. Porter) account was 100% true, as I am inclined to believe it is, the Army's response would still be one of denial, and appropriately so. Whatever, this squares with Obama's recent behavior in Germany, where he blew-off planned visits to military hospitals after being told he couldn't  take pictures for the media.  And, of course, he is a Democrat.

It wasn't recanted as incorrect ... he just wanted to pull his name from it while he still had a carrier left.

The person who first posted it to the net had neglected to remove his name from the document.
