Obama Flipping and Floundering in Middle East

Everything seemed planned for the future campaign commercials — at least, that’s how it seemed to a U.S. Air Force captain when Sen. Barack Obama and his entourage swooped into Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan for an hour-long visit last Saturday at the start of a week-long foreign tour.


“He got off the plane and got into a bullet proof vehicle” without pausing to acknowledge the U.S. troops who had been waiting all day just for the opportunity to meet him, the officer told the Blackfive pro-military blog.


As the soldiers lined up to shake his hand, the Illinois senator “blew them off and didn’t say a word,” ducking into the conference room to meet the general.


Then the armored vehicles took him to where “he could take his publicity pictures playing basketball. He again shunned the opportunity to talk to soldiers to thank them for their service,” the captain wrote.


“As you know, I am not a very political person. I just wanted to share with you what happened” during Obama’s visit, the captain related.


“I swear, we got more thanks from the NBA basketball players or the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders than from Senator Obama,” he added.

Newsmax.

mmm hmm.

So. He DIDN'T want his photo taken shaking hands with troops on the tarmac, but DID want his photo shooting hoops with the troops.

So he hates the troops, except for the troops he... doesn't hate?

He loves to use them as props, but not when cameras are not rolling.

There weren't cameras on the tarmac?

How peculiar.

I wouldn't want to tell you or John McCain how to run a Presidential campaign. But speaking as an American voter, I'm really NOT impressed with the distortions and lies I've seen coming from your side. If McCain wants MY vote, he needs to explain how he plans to get us out of the economic mess we're in and how HE plans to end the war in Iraq. Those two things would be worth more than all the spin and bull(*)(*)(*)(*) in the world.

WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP CREATING ADDITIONAL THREADS ON THE SAME BULL(*)(*)(*)(*) NON-STORY?

Thanks, ever so.

No.

You are welcome.

The Truth, something that seems to be consistently absent.
