Election by the media! What a novel idea!

The following is an e-mail I received via a friend. It should give everyone an idea of the caliber of man our wannabe president, Sen. Obama is. While in Afghanistan and Iraq he also made no request or attempt to visit any of the medical facilities where wounded American soldiers were being treated.

Please note I have sanitized the e-mail somewhat to protect the solider and his family.

more of the crap bs letters. im sorry but stop listening to the hate mongors, and make up your own mind! look at the facts not what emails tell you. im not sure who im voting for yet but i will be damned if an email is gonna tell me who. oh sorry just me and my independent mind speaking go on with your topic.

Hey Jordan, Tess is wanting ideas for stories, maybe this would be a good one for her, what do ya think, I am sure she could get more details from other soldiers from his visit.

Also, tell you friend thank you for his/her service

GOD Bless,

Wow, and they say the trolls are on the weather board!

I did hear that Obma visted the troops, but didn't say much to them. The email above is what somebody experienced. Still, I think Obma should have at least shook the hands of the troops. On the other hand, why is he even over there? He is not the President, but a candiate for President.

I don't like either canidate, but my choice will be the lesser of the two evils. But I have a feeling the American people are sick and tired of the current party, and to a point, I cannot say I blame them.
