It’s Not Just Joe Biden – Barack Obama Used Autopen and Form Letters When He Sent Condolences to Families of Fallen Soldiers
Gateway Pundit ^ | March 15, 2025 | Jim Hoft

Barack Obama used an autopen to sign condolence letters to families of fallen soldiers and he used the same form letter for each family.

The Gateway Pundit discovered this back in 2012 when we were talking to the families of the SEAL Team 6 members who were shot down by the Taliban after the death of Osama bin Laden.

On August 6, 2011, 30 US service members were killed when a CH-47 Chinook helicopter they were being transported in crashed in Wardak province, Afghanistan. It was the deadliest single loss for U.S. forces in the decade-long war in Afghanistan. 17 members of the elite Navy SEALs were killed in the crash.

In 2012, Karen and Billy Vaughn, parents of Aaron Carson Vaughn, spoke at the Defending the Defenders forum sponsored by the Tea Party Patriots outside the RNC Convention in Tampa. Karen brought a copy of the form letter they received following their son’s death.

It’s a form letter.

It was signed by an electric pen.

That’s not all.

Karen Vaughn reached out to the parents of the other SEALs killed in that crash.

Their letters were all the same. Form letters – signed by an electric pen.

What a heartless SOB Obama was to use an autopen instead of showing sympathy and personally signing the condolence letters with a regular pen. Read the comments section below the article.

Trump dealing with such individually not only reflected his greater concern, but also likely contributed to it.

Of course he did. Obama was the laziest SOB to ever hold the office. He didn’t care about Americans, or America, except to do his part to destroy it.

A lot of talent was lost in that single helicopter crash.
I’m still suspicious about it.

Most DemonRATS hate and can’t write cursive. They need a machine to do it for them.

It was Biden who had loose lips talking to reporters who spilled the beans and told them SEAL Team 6 were the ones who took out Bin Laden. Therefore the Taliban plotted to ambush them and were successful.

Yep. They were sold out. No doubt about it.

A colleague of mine around 40 years ago told me about the Bedbug Letter.

The “bedbug letter” is a term dating back to at least the early 20th century. The story typically involves a customer who complains to a company—often a hotel or railroad—about being bitten by bedbugs during their stay or travel. In response, the customer receives a polite, apologetic letter from the company, assuring them that the issue is being addressed and that such problems are rare. However, the letter accidentally includes a note or memo intended for internal use, revealing the company’s true, less courteous attitude. This note often says something like, “Send this [expletive] the bedbug letter,” exposing the insincere nature of the apology.

I can just see Obama sneering “Send the f$%@erxs” the Bedbug Letter and use the autopen.

This amounts to forging bidens signature. It’s certain he had no idea this stuff was “signed”. If you did this to withdraw money from your obviously senile grandfather’s account, you’d be in jail.

Presidents use autopens to sign just about everything other than Congressional acts and official statements of the President. Otherwise they wouldn’t have much time for duties.

What a disgraceful sleazebag installed twice in the Whitehouse. A stain on Amrican integrity.
Never again.

There is a difference between condolence letters and Presidential EO. The former is perfunctory manners, the latter is law.

Auto pen is a legitimate tool when the POTUS is mentally competent to understand what it is being used for. Pedo Joe probably wasn’t even told about the pardons.

Obama's a bum. Stayed up late. Slept late. That grifter never did an honest day's work in his entire eight years as potus. Just as well. He's supremely stupid as well.

People think he was pulling Biden's strings. Nonsense. He's a fool and whatever cabal ran him also ran pedo joe.

“..Of course he did. Obama was the laziest SOB to ever hold the office. He didn’t care about Americans, or America, except to do his part to destroy it....”

He was NEVER eligible to be POTUS to begin with. He was foisted upon America by the communist RAT regime led by the vile, demonic Botoxian and Chuck, the Shumuck. The whole bunch should be in a prison cell over it.
He was definitely a real nasty shit stain on Lady Liberty’s panites...

We should be grateful for that. Can you imagine the damage he could have caused if he had any work ethic? 😃

I would not have wanted to hear from Odumbo at all if I had been in the position of those families.
