Not as if this election season needs any more hyperbole, but this story is interesting.
Parents of the 17 SEALs killed in action when a Chinook went down more than a year ago just received their "letters" from Obama, each and every one of them is supposedly bearing an electronic signature.
A certified handwriting specialist has not confirmed whether the signatures are that of a computer, or a human, but they look pretty close to identical. Certainly, the president of the most powerful nation on the planet is a busy guy, but if he is robosigning KIA letters for families, it is inexcusable.
Now, it's mostly Right-Wing websites hocking this story to anyone who will listen, and the practice certainly is disgraceful, but the fact remains — the procedure isn't a marked step down from the Bush's practice.
President Bush sent stock letters to every fallen servicemember's family, the only difference being he used a sharpie to sign every one by hand.

How can you even refer to this clown as your President? He is in office illegally and people like you won't do anything about it.
No class is the reason. The Bushes have more class and dignity and graciousness in them , thanks to Barbara, Mrs. George H W Bush, than Obama can ever hope to have. It's all in the upbringing.
