Playing Politics: 9/11 Widow Describes Slightly Contentious Meeting With Obama On Fox News
Mediaite ^ | 5/5/11 | Jon Bershad

Today, President Obama visited Ground Zero and met with those affected by 9/11. Somehow, however, his visit seemed to look different to every person who witnessed it. Particularly cable news channels. MSNBC seemed thrilled as they eagerly discussed how the visit would totally show up tonight’s Republican debate. Meanwhile, Fox News was less enchanted. Witness the network’s interview with Debra Burlingame, a 9/11 widow, who was brought on to discuss Obama’s meeting with the victims’ families. That subject was broached for about two minutes

Note to Mr. Bershad, Debra is not a 9-11 widow, she is the sister of Chip Burlingame, the pilot of the plane that went into the Pentagon

i don’t think Burlingame was a widow- i believe her brother was pilot of one of the planes and was killed by the terrorists to take control...

It was her brother, a pilot, who was killed. She may be a widow, but not his.

When Obama told her he didn’t have the power to order the Attorney General what to do

Hussein is lying. If he can fire the AG he can tell him what to do. And does anyone really think Holder isn't following Hussein's orders?

Lying to a 9/11 widow; good show, Mr. Community Organizer.

There should be a special word in the English language for the surviving sister of a patriot.

I was thinking something equivalent to “widow”.

Siblings feel the same pain...maybe even more???

Good for her, It’s good to see people stand firm in that rare moment of being able to speak with Obama face to face. And we all know that he and Holder are a team.

Once a lying sack always a lying sack.

Everything the left does and wants to do depends on lies.

Did the author know that the invitations were not addressed to the families individually? "Dear fill in the name here. Please join us..."

Pathetic

The office of the President is what is respected and in the military it is the rank, not the man(or woman) that is saluted. As a man or even a president Barack Obama is without a doubt the most crass, vulgar(remember his little middle-finger salutes during the campaign?) classless and racist piece of crap ever to put one foot in front of the other. His embarrassing bowing and scraping to foreign leaders is an embarrassment to the office that will endure for years. I wouldn’t ever see any reason at all to give this man the slightest respect at all, even as president. He has never done anything to engender it.
