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 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.

In service,
