Obama Honored Fallen SEALs By Sending Their Parents a Form Letter Signed By Electric Pen
Gateway Pundit ^ | August 29,2012 | Jim Hoft

On August 6, 2011, 30 US service members 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.

Yesterday, 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 were sent 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. They’re letters were all the same. Form letters – signed by an electric pen.

After the deadliest single loss of US forces in Afghanistan, Barack Obama sent out form letters to the parents.

I don't think the CH-47s are drones yet. It had a crew.

There is not a human being on this earth for whom I have less contempt than the Cretin-in-Chief, the Obamadork, the “thing” without a brain.

Also, how many times did he use the words, I, me, my, mine...?

A class act.

The thing is a reptile, no emotion, no sensitivity, and no introspection.

I have despised him now for going on three years, I just hated him before.

Not much else to say about it.

America’s Armed Forces stand for the power and exceptionalism of the USA.

obama hates America’s power and exceptionalism vis a vis any other God-forsaken country.

obama hates America’s Armed Forces.

osama is gone and obama will be defeated.

just imagine if a REpublican was in the White House.. the uproar..

if you’d like to register a complaint, please do so on a triplicate form and send the Pink copy to Organizing FoR Obama, the Brown copy to La Raza and the GReen copy to the NRDC.. They’ll get back to you when hell freezes over.

You know, this action is more a “slap in the face” to loved ones of the fallen Seals than if Obama had neglected to do anything.

His contempt for the armed forces is appalling.

Did Bush sit down and write a personal letter to the families of every soldier who was killed in Iraq or Afghanistan? How about Nixon during the Vietnam War? Or Truman and Eisenhower during the Korean War. Or FDR during WWII.

Just wow.

And people want to give this monster four more years out of their little temper tantrums?

Just happened to notice the interesting "sb" duality involved in those names.

It fits, literally and figuratively.

Remember the scene in “Saving Private Ryan”? Brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. General George Marshall goes to his desk and pulls out the letter President Lincoln wrote to the mother (Mrs. Bixby) that had lost her five sons. I’m aware there’s reason to believe they were not all killed during the war but the fact that the President thought they were and took the time to personnaly write (and sign) is the difference between a Statesman/Leader and a hack.

Wouldn’t surprise me if he referred to them as corpse-men in the letter.
