(Pittsburgh) Police Clear Up Confusion About Obama Letters
Source: KDKA TV

President Obama sent a letter to each of the three families of the fallen Pittsburgh Police officers.

But confusion over the letters arose because the police spokeswoman only had time to read one of those letters.

And, today, she stepped forward to make sure that everyone knew the president was not singling out any of the three officers.

-----

Richard played an important role in Thursday's memorial service, reading letters of condolences, including one from President Obama.

Her words on Thursday: "A letter from our commander in chief, President Barack Obama. I will read it for our most senior officer, Officer Kelly."

Idiots on RW talk radio got in high dudgeon suggesting that President Obama only sent letter to the "black" officer killed. Then it was of course read by a "black female" Pittsburgh police official. So she and local news had to correct the Wingnuts.

2. We're #1 with hate mongers in this country.....WTG!!
The right wing ass hats certainly make this nation proud. Looking for anything to hang on this president and his administration. Bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, or some such nonsense. Holy shit! What about the last jack ass that lived in the White House kissing the man??...holding hands??? We have our share of f*cktards!!

3. The original story probably went on and on for days. That's what people will remember.
