Good God: Parents of Fallen SEAL Members got FORM LETTERS From Obama

I cannot begin to express how this makes me feel. We had a President who took the tme to write personal letters and have personal visits to pass on his condolences and thanks from the country. Now we have a president (yes, small “p”) who is more interested in his golf game, next vacation and campaign for re-election.
Curt, I am a retired cop, so we know the same things… imagine that afterhours nightshift tailgate party after a really rough night; when I think about the direction this administration is taking us I feel like I need that late night alcohol induced primal release… you know the one.

Typically, this story was quickly propagated all over the internet before anyone noticed that the signatures on the letters are actually, and quite obviously, different. Simply compare the point where the long vertical stroke crosses the top of the letter O. There’s a small loop just to the right of that point on the yellowish copy, but not on the other signature. Also, on the top yellowish copy the final horizontal portion doesn’t actually touch the long vertical stroke we were just examining; on the the other signature, it does.

Electric pen signatures would be identical. The letters were signed by hand.

Anyone would expect the wording of the letters to be almost identical. The letter would have been dictated once, not 30 separate times.

I think it’s very sad what Obama’s opponents will use to attempt to discredit him. Nothing is off limits, apparently. Not even letters sent to the families of fallen soldiers.

When my niece’s husband died in the Navy, GWBush was president.
Even though it was a behind the front lines death (he repaired helicopters) Kathy’s letter was very personal.
It appeared as though all of her husband’s records had been reviewed and many of his high points in school and in the Navy were mentioned.
It was also obvious that President Bush had spoken with his CO and had personal and very sweet things to add.
It did not stop there, however.
Her son was mentioned and an offer to assist him into a Navy college was offered should he by interested later when he was old enough.
It was obvious that it was signed with a pen, too.

Are we to imagine that President George W. Bush personally wrote and signed some 4,222 detailed letters from 2003 through 2008?

Given their past history, I imagine republicans have also worked up Obama’s astrological chart. If the results weren’t what they wanted, they’ve probably concluded this is probably just more evidence that he wasn’t actually born in Honolulu.

Funny someone would mention basketball. Here’s Obama on the White House Lawn July 26, 2o11, hosting a Wounded Warriors basketball game.

Here’s one taken in the Bagram hospital ICU May 1, 2012, as he prepares to award 10 purple hearts.

There are links to photos from several different military occasions here. What we see often depends on what we look for. In my opinion his critics treat him with extreme prejudice, simply refusing to see or acknowledge anything that contradicts their preconceived notions.
