"His failure to respond to three letters sent to the White House was because there was no "political value" and not worthy of a few minutes of his time.
They spoke out as teenager Shawn Tyson began a life sentence after being found guilty of the murder of James Cooper and James Kouzaris last April."
Of course Obama elects to insert himself in some muders and not others. As the family of the murdered tourists correctly point out, he inserts himself for political gain. Of course he wouldn't respond to the tourists family, there was nothing for him in it.
Here's an idea:
Why don't YOU send a letter of condolence to the British family?
What's that you say..."I'm not to blame for the murder"?
Hmmm...who's to blame? Oh yeah, the person sitting in prison right now.
But, you are SO SORRY, right? So, send 'em a sympathy card. Let them know that SOME Americans have a little class...
Justice was done here. There was an investigation, a trial and a conviction. The police did their job in this case.
The conservatives want to see Obama express his sympathy to the parents. They see it as hypocrisy that he didn't--because of the beer summit and Trayvon Martin, and call him a political opportunist.
Never mind that the White House gets millions of letters a day.
The cops were responding to a call from a nosy neighbor who called them because she incorrectly assumed she was witnessing a guy breaking into a home.
She was wrong.
The home owner was on his own property, committing no offense. He explained it to the cops. They kept pressing, he pressed back, they hauled him away.
Dumb move.
Guy at his own place, doing nothing wrong shouldn't be hassled/arrested by cops dispatched for a bogus call.
Lol, that's exactly what I said, the Professir was attempting to enter the house without the benefit of a key. Instead of producing evidence that he was the homeowner he chose confrontation.
The White House receives about 40,000 pieces of mail a week. (The First Lady's office separately gets about 5,000 pieces weekly.) All mail is processed first at a nearby military base where it is opened and examined prior to being forwarded to the White House staff for disposition. The response time for White House correspondence is therefore slower than people might expect.
The number of e-mails the White House gets is significantly greater than even those numbers, and can spike during contentious political fights to tens of thousands a day.
40,000 divided by 7 = 5,714.2857 per day. Wow, that's a lot of reading.
