Chef Jim Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Oh my lol I'm a certified idiot. Im a die hard bills fan, i spend lots of $$$ on the bills. There was no need to inform me that I was a idiot. We all know we're idiots for following the Bills, that goes without saying. You're an idiot here because, well because you're here
IDBillzFan Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 I'm pretty sure that's normal. Let's be honest. The president can't sign all those letters. He's busy. Very busy. Doing important president things. Like calling Sandra Fluke because Rush Limbaugh insulted her on the radio.
VABills Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Let's be honest. The president can't sign all those letters. He's busy. Very busy. Doing important president things. Like calling Sandra Fluke because Rush Limbaugh insulted her on the radio. Or golfing. Or eating at Bens Chili Bowl weekly, Or apoloigizing to someone else.
1billsfan Posted August 30, 2012 Author Posted August 30, 2012 I'm pretty sure that's normal. I'm also pretty sure this is one of the more ridiculous manufactured "scandals" I've heard of...it's not the President's job to give personalized condolences to the families and friends of every fallen soldier (I'm pretty sure FDR and Ike didn't. Lyndon Johnson may have, arrogant control freak that he was.) It's embarrassing that anyone would pretend that he should. That's a point the article highlighted, not me. I'm outraged (if true) about Obama using an electronic pen instead of putting forth the most minimal of efforts and writing the signature himself.

Yeah because he was the one that made the final decision on that. This is silly.

I would agree with you simply on the principle of "If you're not going to do it right, don't do it at all"... But I've already wasted far too much time on this ridiculous "issue". It's an election year, and instead of substantive issues you're crying about the president's improper sympathy card etiquette? You're such a !@#$ing retard that it's honestly redundant to call you a !@#$ing retard, it's so self-evident.

DC Tom Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Have you ever wondered why nobody calls you an idiot? Fear, of course.
3rdnlng Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Fear, of course. You nailed it. Fear of redundancy.
DC Tom Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 You nailed it. Fear of redundancy. Credit where due: I've got nowhere to go with this. This is some of your better work.

/dev/null Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Sorry, I guess I read too much into your post. When you said letters you meant individual correspondence to each family I thought you meant 30 letters of the alphabet like 57 states
DC Tom Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 You embarrass yourself when you write adolescent stuff like this. You do know that, right? Yeah, and you're a paragon of maturity, bitching about Obama's improper letter signing.
3rdnlng Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 You embarrass yourself when you write adolescent stuff like this. You do know that, right? Your point about Obama not bothering to personally sign them is well taken. I wonder if the WH sends letters to all families of deceased servicemen? Tom's point about this in the over all picture is also pertinent. Your point seems minor when compared to the larger problems, but they are being argued ad nauseum elsewhere in this site. It would be pretty boring if we only argued 4 or 5 big issues. Signed, Adam.

Just Jack Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 How do they know it was an electric pen? It could be a MS Word doc with the sig already embedded that they simply insert the family name, address, and deceased name, print, and mail.

dayman Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Just signing on can't be bothered to read the whole thread but wow. hehe
DC Tom Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Just signing on can't be bothered to read the whole thread but wow. hehe The summary: Obama improperly exhibited sympathy for dead SEALs. Though the real high point was when some yahoo blamed it on Bush invading Iraq.
