Playing Politics: 9/11 Widow Describes Slightly Contentious Meeting With Obama On Fox News
Mediaite ^ | May 5, 2011 | 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.

Although this article is irritatingly snarky, it's very much worth looking at because it continas a link to the full, nearly 10 minute, interview Degra Burlingame gave Martha MacCallum on Fox. She rips Obama a new one and does it really well.

Which it kinda did.
Perfect planning between Hussein and the lib’s Ministry of Propaganda.

Goebbels would be proud

Obama didn't want to spike the football

He has never been to ground zero

This was spiking the football however CIA investigations are hurting him alot.

Yes, she’s not a 9/11 widow.

Getting a basic fact like that wrong makes me dismiss the entire article.

It was Debra Burlingame’s BROTHER that was killed in the attacks. He was one of the pilots. She’s not a widow as far as I know,

***When Obama told her he didn’t have the power to order the Attorney General what to do, she pushed him to make a public statement on it. He said he wouldn’t and walked away, an action which seemed to leave Fox News’ Martha MacCallum visibly aghast.***

The President of the U.S. appoints the head of the CIA.

Duties of the CIA:

“Performing such other functions and duties related to intelligence affecting the national security as the President or the Director of National Intelligence may direct.”

https://www.cia.gov/about-cia/index.html

But Zero says he can’t tell the director of the CIA what to do, and won’t say that publicly as requested because he is WRONG.

Yep, it was her brother. He piloted one of the planes, I think Flight 92, but am not sure.
