Obama has won the nomination

Ah crap, my boss sent that to me and I immediately found on snopes that he "retracted" that email and had not expected it to be forwarded all over the place, and asked that it not be forwarded or posted.

Anyway, I asked for no more political stuff to be forwarded to me and I'd rather make up my own mind.

Thanks, what I figured.

Are you going to contact the person who sent it to you and inform them that they are spreading lies?

Spreading lies? I don't look at most information passed in that manner. People have strong political emotions and I could easily ask those questions about things posted about Bush or Obama or McCain.

FTR I did send them the snopes link.

I understand this wasn't aimed at me, but its funny - I have told my mother that numerous times and hit "reply all" to her emails refuting the garbage spread. I don't get too many of them from her anymore.

good for you. There is too much ignorance in the world already to be spreading false stuff around.

Oh, and I forgot to mention it came from my wife. Who got it from one of her best friends who is the wife of a WO-5 and one of the most senior WO's in Army Aviation. I am sure she got it from someone else as well. I will just have to make sure the wife passes on the Snopes link when I get off work in another 36 hours.
