Mom of Cole Victim Refused to Meet with Obama
2009-02-07
Get through the commercial and watch this interview -- she's now "sorry I voted for him." One upset Mom.

#11  If I were a relative of one of the Cole sailors, and had I been invited, I would have gone, and I would have hoped to ask the President this question:

"Sir, I know you have some background in constitutional law based on your teaching days at the University of Chicago. I do not understand why we should provide the perpetrators of the attack on the Cole the same basic rights that you and I enjoy under American law. I remind you, sir, that these individuals are not US nationals and consider themselves to be at war with America. So would you please explain this to me?"

And I would have insisted, gently, on an answer.

And I would talk publicly about his response.

#8  and just what did she expect from him? It's not like he wasn't showing his true colors all the way through the campaign.

How stupid did she have to be? Voting for Obama because you hate Bush is called cutting off your nose to spite your face.

#6  If she did that (flip him off and tell him what an ass he is) it would never be reported by the MSM - except perhaps as an incident of RIGHT-WING HATRED!!!!! and RACISM!!!!!

#3  Good for her - the meeting would be protrayed as an endorsement of Zero's policies.

You didn't actually think Zero was going to meet with the families to actually _listen_ to their concerns did you?

Its a photo-op to take some of the heat off - nothing more.

#2  I LIKE her. Giving a stiff middle finger to super Zero takes guts.
