A Nightmarish Story
Sgt. Sean Collins, along with four of his buddies was killed in Afghanistan on Dec. 12, 2010. Collins funeral took place Dec. 29, 2010.
It's a sad story as is any involving loss of life by the brave members of our military. It gets worse. Young Collins was from the State of Washington. Sen. Maria Cantwell(D) sent a letter of condolence to the family. In part it read, "please accept my warm condolences on your loss of Bryn". Appears to me it might be a form letter. Do ya' think?
It gets worse. Ret. Lt. Col. Patrick Collins, the father of the deceased, called the White House and asked if the President would call the lad's mother to express his appreciation for his service and to extend his sympathies. According to reports White House staffers said the President doesn't normally do these things. If that's the rule I guess that's the rule, however, as Paul Harvey would say, "now for the rest of the story".
Lt. Col. Patrick Collins is now livid with anger and not a supporter of Obama. On Dec. 26, three days prior to the Collins funeral, the White House announced that Obama had taken the time to call Jeffrey Lurie, owner of the Philadelphia Eagles. The purpose of the phone call: to thank Lurie for giving dog killer, Michael Vick, a second chance to play in the NFL.
There is a young man, a friend of my son-in-law, living in San Antonio. He designs prosthesis for soldiers who have lost limbs in overseas action. According to him, the great percentage of these wounded are sent to their Texas hospital. This fellow told me of the many times George W. Bush and his wife make unannounced trips over to SA to visit with the boys. Of course, you knew GW gave up golf while serving as President. He didn't think it looked good to play the game while our soldiers were off fighting and dying for our country.
Can I write it, please? Our President is disgusting! Democrat senators aren't all that special, either.
