My brother met Obama in Iraq and he is "very impressed" |
|
My brother is a Lieutenant Colonel USMC in Iraq and met Obama during his visit there. He told me that he was very emotional meeting Senator Obama. They exchanged a few words but my brother was very impressed with Obama and told me happily that beginning in January 2009 he no longer will have to swallow his anger and disappointment with a CIC because Obama is loved by the American troops (not just the African American troops as implied by the MSM)

5. Thanks! My brother has had 3 tours of duty |
|
and is a true patriot...has done his job even if he disagreed with the current CIC. But I know that before he retires from the USMC in 2010 he will see America's respect restored in the world and all our troops will be proud to serve under a CIC that will never use them to further his own agenda.

15. ...by ENDING THE WAR, of course. |
|
Anything less is unacceptable, and I will NOT vote for him for re-election if he doesn't withdraw the troops - which I do have hopes he will!

14. Please tell your brother that we thank him and the rest of the |
|
troops for what they are doing.
I am glad he got to meet Obama, I think the soldiars who have learned how to identify who the good people are and who the liars and crooks are, are able to identify a good potential Leader.

their faces that everyone was happy to see Obama and the m$$m was trying to divide again.
Thanks, for the personal story regarding your brother in Iraq, Roberto..can't wait for them to start filing home.
Edit for clarification and to say Thank your brother for his service!
