(received the below in email) ----------------------------------------------- "The story you heard yesterday about President Obama refusing to sign Eagle Scout Awards in True"
President Obama refusing to sign Eagle Scout Awards is true.
He won't sign life saving awards either.
Every President since 1912 has been the honorary President of the Boy Scouts of America.
President Obama refused that honor.
Did you hear anything about the Boy Scouts 100th Anniversary? Why did the press ignore it?
Let's see, they promote honor, integrity, putting others first, love of country and of course they believe in God.
Not much press coverage on this story, the first president in 100 years to insult his finest citizens, Eagle Scouts.
John Beaurguard, CEO of the South Texas Council of the Boy Scouts of America joins us just after 7AM.
David Haynie has two sons who have achieved the rank of Eagle Scout.
Dave Hiser's son is working on his Eagle Scout award now.
This is the E-mail Linda Thacker, sent to Glenn Beck and I forwarded to Glenn's producer Adam.
Dear Mr. Beck, On March 24, 2009 I had the honor of attending my Grandson, David Osborne's Eagle Scout Court of Honor.
I imagine you have attended one of these wonderful ceremonies. I also feel confident that you are very knowlegable of what it means to have earned the status of Eagle Scout.
Our entire family is so very excited and at the Court of Honor we were all just beaming as our wonderful young man was honored for his acheivements.
After the Court was closed David's leaders pulled him aside and explained to him that they regretted to have to explain to him, as sad as it is, that his certificate was different from others they had presented because his certificate did not have the signature of the President of the United States .
They explained that Obama does not support the Boy Scouts of America and therefore does not sign the Eagle Certificates.
To date I believe there may be as many as 10,000 of this countries finest young men who do not have the signature of the president of the country they have taken an oath to respect and serve on thier Eagle Certificate.
To my knowledge Congress chartered BSA in 1916 part of which the President of the United States is the Honorary President of The Boy Scouts of America and President Obama is the first sitting president to personally refuse to sign these certicates.
I believe if the country were to be educated on national televison of what the Boy Scouts of America stands for they would join those of us who already know, and would be as outraged as we are!
Also, your good friend Jim Lago was also in attendance at this Eagle Court of Honor.
I had the privliege of speaking with him this morning on his radio talk show here in Corpus Christi and shared with him this same information. He was equally alarmed to say the least.
This information should ignite in every parent the urgency to instill the great values held by the Boy Scouts of America in their young men for the cause of maintinaing this great nation.
We must stand united. With appreciation,
Linda thacker, grandmother to eleven of Americas finest future citizens, David, Erikka, Adam, Ryan, Hailey, Tygh, Mana, Gerritt, Maya, Ezra and Lynden Osborne.
So, that's the story thus far, calls have been made, citizens are angry, especially the parents of Eagle Scouts.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if ex-president Bush announced, he would be willing to sign all Eagle Scout Certificates for as long as President Obama is in office?
We have a very small man in a very big office.
I’d be shocked if this were true. Even HE doesn’t have the stones for this.
If true, (I have not doubt that it is) then the next President (Palin 2012) could win back a LOT of good will by offering to sign these awards upon entering office.
Thats fine with me. why would anyone want that Marxists signature on them anyways? And on top of that, what if the born in kenya story turns out to be true? Would any scout want the signature of a phony President on their awards?
Maybe he imagines his “Obama Youth” community citizen force will replace the Scouts and have their allegiance in the “right” place!

I can’t find any evidence of this being true. Just because he’s stupid in general, doesn’t make him this stupid with specificity.
heh
:)
This smells of Internet hoax, but with B. Hussein...who knows?
“Its sad, but I wouldn’t think it a big honor to have such a dishonorable president sign it. “
I agree. I would wait for a REAL president before I accepted.
Who wants an illegal Marxist president signing anything, other then Marxist?
I’m not sure he could pull this one.
He’s running out of people to piss off, IMO.
Apparently there was an issue with him not signing the certificate or sending out letters. I guess enough ruckus was created and just a few weeks ago he started sending out letters, however there are still problems with the certificates not being signed even though they claim he will sign them.

Its my understanding that Clinton refused to sign them as well, but zero refusing doesn’t surprise me at all. Its bad enough that my certificate was signed by Richard Nixon, but if I was receiving my Eagle today, I would refuse the certificate if it had zero’s signature on it.....red
Hideous traitorous stinking pile of luke warm puke.
Do you have any information about this?
He’s not signing anything until they change their name to the Young Pioneers.
Who would want something signed by Obama?
The only thing I want signed by nobama is an apology and resignation.
I think that Reagan was the last President to sign these letters manually. My son received manual signatures from our state reps but a machine signature from Clinton. I believe that then-Gov Bush signed his by machine, but not sure.
This has always been a job for a competent staffer, to collect the letters and emails and to ensure that signed acknowledgments arrived well before the Court of Honor.
O’ has the largest staff in history and can't accomplish the simple timing of a greeting card.
exactly!!!
I don't know whether this story is true or not. But you're dead wrong about Obama. He's capable of ANYTHING.
