Burlingame After Meeting With Obama: He Turned His Back On Me
RCP ^ | 5-5-11 | RCP

Posted on 05/05/2011 1:55:10 PM PDT by tcrlaf

Debra Burlingame, the sister of Charles "Chic" Burlingame (pilot of the plane that crashed into the Pentagon) met with President Obama today, along with other families who were victims of 9/11. Burlingame said she confronted Obama about Attorney General Eric Holder prosecuting the men who interrogated KSM, which may have produced intelligence leading us to bin Laden.

Burlingame describes the encounter with Obama: "As a former attorney I know you can't tell the Attorney General what to do, he said, 'No, I can't.' But I said 'we -- that shouldn't stop you from giving your opinion. We wouldn't be here today if they hadn't done their jobs. Can't you at least give them your opinion.'

And he said 'no I won't,' and he turned around and walked away."

I fear that this low life pos is going to reveal the identities of the SEALs.

I fear that Ubama and Holder will make them scapegoats and end up prosecuting them.
That's the kind of people these scumbags are.

Can anyone explain this to me?

Was the SEAL team that took out Osama all white? A law-school friend of mine, who is black, is a former SEAL, so I have a hard time picturing a team of SEALs as lily white.

Interestingly, Rush talked today about how Holder is still investigating and prosecuting CIA operatives for “harsh interrogation” of KSM and other captured terrorists, and still prosecuting our own military people for other alleged WOT crimes (like the one terrorist who claimed a soldier gave him a fat lip). I swear, Burlingame must have listened to Rush today, or her confronting Ubama on this issue is an astonishing coincidence.

I no longer consider him a “person”.

I do have to wonder if Debra Burlingame was invited by mistake. Obummer has made it a habit only to meet with people who agree with him. He often shuns military families except those who are members of Blue Star Families which was formally Blue Star Families for Obama.

That's a really good question.

Anyone who has trouble understanding Obama has never had to work In Washington DC, Atlanta Ga. or Philadelphia Pa, where the Mayor is black.

I guess you think that neegrows are difficult to work for when they assume positions of power because of the color of their skin.... Well Boy Howdy....

She was on Cavuto’s show yesterday, and I was thinking the very same thing. Her brother’s death really hit her hard and she has never wavered from seeking justice for him and all the people killed on 9/11. As you said, gutsy lady.

I’m waiting for the cabinet heavyweights to start some leaking on how it all went about. It would make Hillary look good against BO.

...he’s an incredibly small man - in every respect.

Now you know why Moochell is scowling all the time.

"Was the SEAL team that took out Osama all white? A law-school friend of mine, who is black, is a former SEAL, so I have a hard time picturing a team of SEALs as lily white."

Statistically, SF are overwhelmingly white. While there certainly are members of pretty much every race in the most elite organizations, whites are (for lack of a better term) over-represented. In discussions at the end of the book Blackhawk Down, Mark Bowden discusses this at some length (there had been only one black member of TF Ranger). Whether you want to call it an excuse, conventional wisdom or fact, this disparity has largely been attributed to the stringent swimming/water survival qualifications of all the elite units from Army Rangers, SF, USAF Pararescue, and of course, Navy Seals. Blacks on average have leaner body masses and less bouyancy than whites, which in terms of all other things being equal, inhibits their ability to swim.

As you point out in the example of your friend, there are certainly those who are fully capable of making the cut, but I've heard the above explanation cited from more than one source regarding the under-representation of blacks.

I must stay factually accurate. He is of the homo sapiens species, so therefore I cannot call him, say, a snake. At least not in the physical sense. Too, I refuse to use the sobriquet 'man' when referring to this individual.

Can this person please be impeached ??

Prolly not, but options exist.

2012 is coming.

“Why is this Jarret woman running America? Can anyone explain this to me?”

Well...
She did manage to steal $25 million dollars from Fannie Mae’s cooked books.

And she created the rule that CIA and FBI couldn’t talk to each other, directly leading to the tragedy of 9/11.

And she managed to keep Clinton from being prosecuted over lying under oath.

So, that makes her a SUPERHERO of the Democratic Party!

Debra Burlingame is not to be trifled with. A smart media company should hire her as a WhiteHouse correspondent. She is fearless and would badger Jay Carney into a fetal position in less than 10 minutes.
