Last year, American warriors were killed when a CH-47 Chinook helicopter was shot down by the Taliban during combat operations in Afghanistan. The Helicopter was carrying U.S. Navy SEALs to assist an U.S. Army Ranger unit that was under heavy fire from insurgents in the mountainous region of the Wardak province. Their mission was to help capture a senior Taliban leader, but it went terribly wrong. Thirty (30) U.S. troops died that day, making it the single largest loss of American troops in the Afghanistan war. The team consisted of U.S. Army Rangers and 17 warriors from Navy Seal Team Six, the same team that killed Osama bin Laden. None of those killed were involved in that operation.
Americans were shocked and saddened by the incident, and President Barack Obama offered his thoughts and prayers for the Americans killed that day. In a statement issued at the time, Mr. Obama wrote: “Their deaths are a reminder of the extraordinary sacrifices made by the men and women of our military and their families, including all who have served in Afghanistan.” Nice words, but what followed proves Obama doesn’t really believe them. He doesn’t relate to or care about the values of these greatest of American warriors; he can’t as it’s not in his makeup.
Form Letters
Outside of the 2012 Republican National Convention, parents of fallen SEAL Aaron Carson Vaughn addressed the Defending the Defenders forum. Karen, SEAL Vaughn’s mother, displayed a copy of the condolence letter Obama sent to her. She had additional copies of letters sent to members of other parents of the SEALs killed in the same incident. They were the same, a form latter. Apparently, Mr. Obama was too busy to write a note to the parents and sign the letters; he delegated that to a robo-signer. Most likely, he never even saw them or knew about them.
A Commander-in-Chief who doesn’t take the time to honor our fallen warriors, those who serve this nation so well, is not worthy to be addressed by that title and not worthy of the respect it warrants.

It’s disgusting, that the White House is so dumb that they would send out a form letter. Total disrespect for the sacrifices our military and their families suffer, he is not a Commander and Chief, he is a complete and total fraud. I can’t wait to see him arrested and charged with treason when the truth of his deception eventually surfaces. With any luck Pelosi and Reid will be arrested as well for never having vetted the man that stole the presidency, with their help.
Ever wonder why Obama has never visited Israel, he can’t, he is a full blown Muslim and that truth is slowly coming out as well, as did his homosexuality. He did say that if he were to be re-elected he would visit Israel sometime in his second term. I guess he is pretty certain that Egypt will take Jerusalem and make it their Capital, as their ex-convict new President said that he would do. Google Larry Sinclair and Obama, Obama obviously does not care where he get’s his sex from, even if it’s from another man, or as in his case with Sinclair, the video will tell you which role Obama liked to play, sick!
If what Sinclair posted on the WEB was not true, AG Eric Holder would have arrested him long ago. Obama obviously does not want a trial since that would expose him to be what he is which is a bi-sexual, narcissistic fraud.
Obama has to know that a fraud of this magnitude irrespective of the executive order’s that he signed, someone somewhere at some time will come forward with irrefutable proof of his ineligibility and he will be prosecuted and punished for his crimes against America and the American people.
That is the sorriest pile of crap that every wallkied into the white house in the history of the US. IMpreach and jail him for treason.
While I sympathize with your desire to see Obama charged, tried and convicted as a criminal fraud against these United States, in reality I seriously doubt it will never happen. Why? For the same reason nothing was done to vet him and determine his constitutional eligibility in the first place. That being a paranoid fear that to do so would have invited violent civil disobedience across the nation in the form of race riots like those seen previously in Los Angeles related to the late Rodney King, with the added fear that could expand into something much bigger and much worse. To avoid that, the powers that be, particularly the selfish and corrupted republican establishment in Congress sat on their hands and continues to use the campaign technique of a soft white glove gently slapping Obama’s cheeks as a challenge to a duel in this election year same as McCain did in 08 and we all know how well that turned out.
We saw and continue to see the extent to which the left will go to exploit the race card even though its effectiveness is largely gone now after 4 years of its numbing use. No, I think Barry boy will get off scot free just as did William (Bill) Ayers, his close associate and most likely a significant contributor to Obama’s image shaping for the presidency. What Obama will do after the leaving office which hopefully will be determined without any doubt in November is anybody’s guess but I doubt if he will amount to much afterwards because his enablers and financial supporters will likely dump him when he’s no longer of any use to them. He was after all a tool. He may also have to worry some about OBL’s faithful followers seeking revenge for his having boasted about being responsible for killing OBL. Even though he is undoubtedly Muslim and will claim that as his defense, Muslims have been slaughtering each other for centuries. I wouldn’t want to be in his shoes with a minimal SS detail providing security.
we have no president. He is just some goofball sitting in the white house, elected by a bunch of goofballs
Gabor. You should not doubt what Sheriff Arpaio and his Posse have proved. Unfortunately, for some big REASON, the whole Judiciary has been throwing out, even illegally, all proof presented in their courts against Obama, without mentioning the total silence of the mainstream media. Even Romney and Ryan seem to have been afraid to touch any of Obama’s crimes; including Holders and his “Fast and Furious” gun and drug running and, worst of all, his criminal definition as “Working Place ACCIDENT” of the shooting of some 50 US un armed Military in uniform, by his brother in Islam, who yelled “Allahu Akbar” while killing 13 and wounding 35 of his US “buddies”, He did not shoot more, just because a police woman shot him. Why did the “empty suit” do that? Just so his brother in religion would not be judged as a terrorist. He did not care about the military nor their families, who may not receive any kind of compensation. Now, three years later, the accused TERRORIST grew A BEARD, reason why this time the lawsuit against him was postponed INDEFINITELY. Why has nobody, but nobody, not even the R and R pair of candidates mentioned this tragedy? Why is everybody so afraid of Obama?
I also think if he were one of the indangered spicies, (The white male) they would have made an example of him. That is ok we are getting stronger because of it.
He despises the military. I wonder what Gov. Romney would have done………..
Must have been Muslim prayers since BO is Muslim not Christian. He is the most UNPATRIOTIC @$$ IN THE WORLD
No offense meant to anyone but, words, words, words. We spout them, write them, type them and read them by the million yet NOTHING has been, is being or will be done about them.
Why? The power to curb Obama already exists yet nothing is done about it.
The Congress of the United States – and the House is NOT helpless – has the power to rescind every Obama Illegal Executive Order yet does absolutely NOTHING. The Congress can force passage of a genuine budget and put an end to these ILLEGAL continuing resolutions yet does nothing. The House CAN investigate the OBVIOUS eligibility issues but does nothing. The GOP CAN act independently to investigate Obama yet they do nothing.
Why?
Because like my own Republican Representative they are either STUPID or in on the fix.
Obama could do NOTHING without the complicity of BOTH major parties, the roll-over tail-high bought-out bureaucracy and Fed cop agencies and the Liberal or Bribed States. We have no friends within the Washington Belt-line.
Remember, Romney INVENTED ObamaCare and has openly stated he will do NOTHING to overturn it. He has also said he will do nothing to overturn Obama’s policy on the DREAM Act. So what will change? Romney talks big about the budget and brings Ryan aboard. More big words, it’s STILL the House that sets the budget.
Let’s SEE action before we applaud more words.
All Romney has done this past week is say they will overturn Obamacare. I’ve not heard him say anything different. He’s also said he would reverse Obama’s Executive Order on the so-called Dream Act.
Flip-Flop-Flip
C’mon, you talk about words and more words of complaint and yet nothing is ever done. Don’t you see why nothing is being done or will ever be done including long after Obama is gone from office (please God, make it so)? It’s incredibly simple. The gutless wonders (republican establishment pukes) that parade about the halls of Congress in 3 piece suits and get paid for all the hot air they spew forth have a paranoid fear that (1) By challenging Obama directly on his eligibility, his criminal fraud, it is likely that it would have ignited in 08 or at anytime subsequent to that race riots and destruction of an unprecedented magnitude across the country. That could easily have escalated to an uncontrollable situation with other radical elements piling on. And do you doubt that reasoning? If you do I have an investment that will return you 1000% of your money. Just send me all you’ve got and I’ll make good on it; (2) The incredibly corrupt republican establishment (used to be called the republican party) was and is equally paranoid about being labeled racists by a powerful media which is totally committed to defending Obama via the race card at all costs. The republican establishment are corrupt defeatists to be sure and value their seat, their hold on power, far more than they do the welfare of the nation or adhering to the constitution and the rule of law.
That’s it in a nutshell. The RE has been hunkered down and playing along waiting for the past 4 years to pass while pinning all their hopes on the next election which is imminent. They have their fingers crossed behind their backs and/or they’re praying that the election will come off despite what will no doubt be massive voting fraud and that Romney will win it and the problem will just go away avoiding their worst fears. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see this. We’ve thus far seen a small sample of it that confirmed their fears with the Martin-Zimmerman case and reports of black mob violence occurring across the nation even now.
The Obots are masters at fomenting discontent through class warfare in accordance with the Marxist and Alinsky playbooks. That along with their lapdog media would no doubt have done just that if Obama had been directly challenged. He will walk, period, no matter how much you and others fantasize about him being charged with crimes, convicted and sentenced to a long prison term. It won’t happen, not now, not ever! He was never, ever going to be impeached. He will walk just as his primary image shaper, William (Bill) Ayers et. al. walked. Unfortunately that’s the nature of this beast as frustrating as it is.
The only potential for satisfaction is that once out of power Obama will be useless to his puppeteers whence I don’t think he will amount to much. His possible goal of becoming the next SecGen of the UN could unfold, we’ll have to wait and see. He was after all just a tool in some powerful leftist, America hater’s hands and he won’t be of any use to them anymore. I predict he will still have to deal with OBL’s Mafia. Barry boy boasted a lot about taking OBL out so I wouldn’t want to be in his shoes checking my six o’clock wondering who that is following me while he has but a minimal SS security detail. I feel for the SS men who will draw that duty. Muslims have no hesitation in taking out other Muslims so his claiming ideological and religious kinship with them would be a weak defense against the Muslim Mafia should they be so disposed. Time will tell what happens to Barry boy. In the meantime I recommend focusing on the future and electing as many conservatives to Congress as possible (no republican establishment pukes please).
Smoki. Unfortunately both of us are right. When Ryan was elected to join Romney I felt relieved, because there are to many proofs that Romney wasn’t even defending himself, nor is now; allowing the empty suit to insult both of them, and weakly mentioning some terrible truths that should not allow Obama to continue on his presidential campaign, such as reminding the people of the fact that OBAMA HAS RATCHETED UP THE HUGE AND UN PAYABLE US DEBT, to 16 TRILLION DOLLARS: In view of this Record, only the fanatics, the blacks and the Latinos would vote for the Empty Suit in the chair..
That’s what elections are for and that is where you let him know “You are through”> GO VOTE!
We know what a gutless congress we have. We also know why there was only a form letter for the dead soldiers. Fo rhim to actually sign a letter with a real pen and his own dainty hand, why that would mean putting down his golf clubs for a short while. Could not do that. Evey move he doesn’t make shows the country what a repugnant gutless, anti-american we have in the white house. We can only pray for a miracle that he get kicked out of the white house, based on how crooked he is that is not very likely
Obama cares nothing about our military or any disasters or crises the people are suffering through. He did find time during his busy campaigning to visit Louisiana. What about Mississippi and Alabama? Two presidents come to mind when ti came to caring about the people and that is Reagan and GW Bush.
