Kurt Horning, a NJ resident whose son died in the attacks, says that he’ll tell the president the sea burial Bin Laden received was too good, “He was washed and wrapped and buried at sea after prayers were read and thousands of people from the World Trade Center are in a garbage dump in Staten Island.”
However, Debra Burlingame, whose brother was a pilot in one of the planes that hit the WTC, told Politico, “There is a growing controversy right now, as we speak, over the whole manner in which the White House is doing this,” saying that the president is “using families in what is a transparent political ploy.” She did “root” for Obama when he announced Bin Laden’s death, but “This is wrong, and I don’t know if they even understand it.”
Obama et al know exactly what they are doing: kicking off their endless campaign. I hope that a lot of the families boycotted this. And let’s not forget about KSM and how Eric Holder wanted to hold the “trial” in downtown Manhattan. Yes, Holder: another illustrious graduate of Stuyvesant High School.
My heart goes out to the survivors of the victims of 9-11.
Being that 2000 bodies were never recovered, and some families didn’t get as much as a fingernail to bury, Osama got some primo treatment.
Some families have to live with the pain that their beloved’s remains became food for the seagulls at the Staten Island dump.
Obama does not know and does not care about the ongoing pain of these people.
