Grrrrrr! And The Lie Machine Goes On! Just Received Forwarded eMail re Obama in Afghanistan

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

from a customer and I am fuming! It has already been debunked in Snopes and yet it is getting around. I emailed my customer and the other people on the forward list to set the record straight and also asked them, aren't they tired of the lies yet?

Hi all FYI--for what freedom is worth.

Tiffany and Jeff Porter are our friends who were in our ward when we
lived in Provo. They now live in Virginia.

I don't know each of your personal political convictions, and appologize
if anyone finds this offensive. I thought it was important enough to
share. This is 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 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,
CPT Jeffrey S. Porter

1. Good job!

Snopes has been very helpful in debunking these smears. We all need to bounce them back to the distribution list, just as you did. One or two won't stop them, but over time, perhaps some will open their eyes and finally learn what they have been backing.

It's a machine like no other. Can you remember elections before Rove?
