They are clearly form letters, but from the picture in the link, it looks like they may not have been signed by an electric pen:
Look at the signatures - the "O" in "Obama" is clearly different. Auto-pen signatures are identical, time after time.

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.
Yes.
I will not say what i feel about these punks who are ABR because i would be banned immediately.
The only thing pure about these people is that they are purely FOS and doing the work of obama and his fellow communists.
“Did Bush sit down and write a personal letter to the families of every soldier who was killed in Iraq or Afghanistan?”
Yes, Mr. Bush has sent personal letters to the families of every one of the more than 4,000 troops who have died in the two wars.
“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”
Very good point. Urkel has many, many faults but I can’t kick him for this one.
The parents probably didn’t want anything personal from the little faggot.

Funny...CODE PINK ONLY et al cares about wars when a REPUBLICAN is the President!!!!
Here is a little thing I put together and posted on Facebook, feel free to post it as well, and it is written for facebook “friends” not FR FRiends:
What a class act...
After the deadliest single loss of US forces in Afghanistan, Barack Obama sent out form letters to the parents.
But hey he was probably VERY busy the day he “signed” those form letters, right? Well not really. Here is what he had on his schedule:
9:30 am || Receives presidential daily briefing
10:15 am || Makes statement on changes to No Child Left Behind
-—This was a 15 minute speech: ————
11:00 am || Meets with members of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus
That was it. Nothing on the schedule after that. Wow about 2 whole hours.

For those of you whose first reaction is to pin the same charge on President Bush, read this (HINT: Bush wrote personal letters to All of the over 4,000 killed in the 2 wars):
“Mr. Bush, for instance, has sent personal letters to the families of every one of the more than 4,000 troops who have died in the two wars, an enormous personal effort that consumed hours of his time and escaped public notice.”
Uh. This was a singular operation of extreme import; with all eyes of the nation focused on it. - But, relax, Obama gets a pass. He’s the affirmative action President. - Just personally SIGNING those few letters wouldn’t have harelipped him, nor would it have made him miss a golf outing.
I recall Rumsfeld being hounded by the left and the press (redundant, I know) about a similar kind of thing. Rumsfeld relented, tossed the auto-pen, and signed such letters personally, or so the story goes.
Shut up already. People have made their choices, ones you don’t respect. We get it. Just go on about your business and act like a damned adult for a little while.
Sheesh, you damn harpies are tiresome.
Anyone who is actively aiding and abetting obama deserves to be treated as such.
Whether you want to mask it with phoney bs claims of purity and principle, the bottom line is that the ABRs are doing the work of Obama.
You assume much and no, they don't. Do you have absolutely ANY PROOF that anyone here is "actively aiding and abetting"? I would argue that you are "actively aiding and abetting" a known pro-abortionist, anti-2nd Amendment piece of socialist garbage. But where does that get us? No where except into some peurile, schoolyard pissing match. To what end?
Just because there are folks here who have a different point of view than you and the others on the AB0 train, you don't have any right to abuse those FReepers using the language and tactics you and the others have been engaged in.
IOW, you have no respect for differing opinions, nor respect for FReepers who are principled conservatives and your "phoney bs" statement proves that out. You aren't a mind reader or a psychic, no matter how badly you might want to be.
You are either masking your own guilt by projecting it on to others or you're simply a troll using the cover given by JR to abuse FReepers and sow dissension.
The bottom line is that AB0's like you are also doing the work of the GOP-e by ripping FR apart through the use of your personal, unwarranted attacks on the character of good conservative FReepers.
No politician, I'll say it again, no damned politician is worth what folks like you are doing.
FR is more valuable than any and all of those scum in Washington combined.
But I do believe this will be lost on the "win at all costs" folks like you.
But I don't post it for you. I post it for all the others who have to endure the personal attacks and vilification from folks like you.
Again, no one on FR deserves to be "treated as such".
So again - who are you voting for in november?
None
Of
Your
Damned
Business
For the premier the family was flown out to California. When the producer found out that the family had not had a personal presidential visit, he asked who they would prefer. Not the current guy, they said. Within a few days a limo picked them up and delivered them to a private residence. They were ushered into a room for a private meeting with GW. Handshakes, hugs, tears.
Bush was many things I do not like, but he was without peer in the warmth and compassion he shared with the families of our lost and wounded military.
Tha’t all i need to know. Thank you, but understand, I will drag a few more people out to vote to offset your “purity”.

Hey now, you’re supposed to be the “smart one”.
I would have thought you could have figured it all out just by simply checking my state.
Apparently, you like being wrong through gross assumption.
What a joke.
