Subject: David Jr. Meets His commander In Chief

For those who do not know Dave Borden, he is a former Black & Decker employee who lives in Hanover. His son Dave Jr was serving in Iraq and was badly injured from a bomb explosion. Dave Jr has had over 38 surgeries to date. The email below is from a recent visit from President Obama. The email speaks for its self.

Bryan McDaniel
Product Service Division
DEWALT, Porter-Cable, Delta
p: 410.847.9294f: 410.847.9348
bryan.mcdaniel@dewalt.com

Since Dave Jr. has been injured he has met and been overwhelmed by many, many political and military "celebs". The list includes Bob Gates, Sec. of Defense, who came into his room and told him 3 or 4 times that if Dave Jr. had any issues to call his cell phone number. It includes Gen. Petreus who sat and talked with Dave Jr. for almost 45 minutes. The General recalled vividly all of the circumstances around the events that led to fighting that Dave was involved in. It includes Sen. McCain who arrived late on a Saturday afternoon during a thunder storm, unannounced, and talked to Dave Jr. about how similar their experiences with fate. It includes George Bush when Dave Jr. was invited to attend the very last Christmas party at the White House for the White House Staff. President Bush and his wife entered the ballroom and immediately went to Dave Jr..President Bush knew Dave Jr.'s name as well as when and how he was injured. Dave Jr. had a picture taken with Laura and the President that he has framed and will cherish forever. The list goes on and on of people coming in to meet Dave Jr. and the other wounded warriors at Walter Reed and Bethesda .

Yesterday. Dave Jr. was ordered to be at the National Naval Hospital with another 12 soldiers and Marines to meet with Obama. Obama was supposed to arrive at 11:30 AM. He finally got there at 3:00 PM. He entered the room with the wounded warriors and quickly shook each of their hands. He never asked their names, where they were from, or how they were injured. Then he left.

Dave Jr. has met the people who really care about the military. All he remembers from Obama is a weak handshake. The others in the room, younger and less exposed to the people that Dave Jr. has met, were so disappointed. Word about Obama's "insensitive" visit has spread to the MATC ( the rehab facility) at Walter Reed and throughout Bethesda . The military sees through his phoniness.

All I can say is that it is such a disappointment that this man is Commander-In-Chief of our Armed Forces. He is an embarrassment to our nation.

Regards,
Dave

Makes my blood boil

I'll stop there, as my next thoughts would surely be deemed inappropriate for our forum

Checked this one out on snopes. Turns out to be mostly false, as most of these Internet letters tend to be.

http://www.snopes.com/politics/military/daveborden.asp

This one has only been circulating for about a month. Just wait, in a few years it'll be ten times worse. Editted, editted, then editted again.

PJ, that's the reason I titled that post as I did...EXACTLY AS REC'D. ...There have been so many times I've posted things on here only to be corrected that they were not "up to snuff" on accuracy...While back I was even corrected by that international correspondent, Martha Raddatz (sp) about some thing I posted....She corrected that post personally and we exchanged for a bit...She even called me Chief....I'm concerned about these things but with this type of forum, I believe it is to be expected though not endorsed...Chief

Snopes ain't the Bible Phammr, it's owned by a left wing Obozo supporting couple. See if anything negative about Obozo is deemed "True" by these wackos and everything false about Bush is true. Stop sipping the koolaid dude.

Precisely.
I'd trust snopes just about as much as I trust sheikh Obama.
And for those not paying attention, that would be when pigs sprout wings

Or when there's a blizzard in the Negev and the Yām Ha-Melaḥ can be used for drinking water, Shimon?

Ya got that right(it ain't the bible), but it is one of the better Urban Legend sites out there. Use what ya got man, use what ya got. That's the one I have had most success with, so that is the one I check now. And if you want to insult me, that is fine. Honestly, can count on me not to do it back. Completely useless as a gesture.

ITO reliability snopes references their answers. And if they are left or right or middle, so what? I consider the fact that they may actually might be providing good, accurate information.

So show me a site that is as good on the right (or even not so good), and I will look at that too. If there isn't one, then fine. I'll stick with this. Instead of accusing me of drinking a nasty, sugary, all-together too sweet kid's drink (Lord do I hate Koolaid)

, show me something else to consider.

I find that there's plenty of "stretching" the ideas to fit anyone's agenda. There are plenty of online sites as well as print media that always seem to have a slant somewhere. I figure that we need to keep that in mind when we read/see anything in the media. I believe that this idea serves everyone well.
