I don't know if this is true or not, but I have received this email now three different times from three different sources. Basically, it says that while on his trip to Afghanistan, Obama snubbed all the soldiers who turned out to meet him, then went on to do a phony basketball photo op before cutting out and moving on.

I tried to look it up on Snopes, but they don't have anything on it yet.

The latest version I received, claims to be from senders who know the originator, a soldier serving in Afghanistan who witnessed the goings on first hand.

Has anyone else seen this? Is it real?

Regardless of political affiliation, I have a hard time believing an accomplished politician like Obama is that obtuse. Then again, he did fail to to cover his heart during the National Anthem didn't he?

God, please hurry the election silly season along so we can all get back to the important business of living our lives.

Here is the text:

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 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 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 ne ws is all fake.
