I reeived this email today. I deleted all the forwards in it that contained all the email addresses it had gone to so far.
I just *know* who will claim it is fake.

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 or20the 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-in-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.
