Obama May Care about Football but Doesnt care about a Fallen Soldier



Obama is not a true "commander-in-chief." Unlike Bush, who has visited many families of our fallen soldiers, Obama has better thing to do with his spare time. If putting a wrong name of a fallen soldier on a condolence letter is bad, it is an outrage to deny a 30 second phone call to that grieving family. If the Obama Administration says the president has a very busy schedule to contact a Sean Collin's mom and dad, but was able to make a phone call to Philadelphia Eagles coach thanking him for supporting Michael Vick, what kind of impression would you have for this president. SCUMBAG!

(Fox News) It was bad enough that after Sgt. Sean Collins was killed in Afghanistan his parents received a senator's letter of condolence with the wrong name.

But the soldier's father says the White House added to the sting by subsequently turning down a request for President Obama to personally call Collins' mother.

Pat Collins, a retired lieutenant colonel, told Q13 FOX in Seattle that the family was told last month that the president could not fit it "into his schedule" to call mother Linda Collins about their son's death. Pat Collins, who initially made the request with the White House, said he would've understood, except for the fact that around the same time, Obama found an opening in his schedule for a much-publicized phone conversation with Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie.
