[LETTER] The following is the contents of a letter sent by President Obama to the family of slain police officer Chris Matlosz. (Permission to publicize the recently surfaced letter, was obtained from the family). To the family and friends of Chris Matlosz, Lakewood New Jersey.
Dear Friends, Michelle and I are deeply saddened by your loss.
Our Nation is grateful for the dedication, pride, and service of those who risk their lives to ensure the safety of our citizens and our neighborhoods. We honor the heroes we have lost, and we salute those who continue to protect and serve our communities.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. I hope you will be consoled by your cherished memories and comforted by the presence of family and friends.
Sincerely,
Barack Hussein Obama.
Since his murder, Matlosz’s Fiancee, Kelly Walsifer, has launched a non-profit organization called ‘Holding Onto Hope’. (Thank you DK).
He was killed 1/14-/11. Why dose it tkae the White House staff till 4/18/11 to give Obama the letter???
Eli: he’s kind of busy
I think it’s wonderful that the President would take time out from all of the problems facing him every day to pay homage to our fallen hero. I hope that his words bring some comfort to his family and friends.
Guys, please relax. Pres Obama didn’t write it. he just signed it……and i am sure they have a signature stamp……..didn’t make to much of an effort.
so generic.
every cop get the exact same letter , as does every soldier. there nothing personal and the signature is a stamp.
sad but true
Mr. Obama didn’t feel it was important enough to show his face at the national day of remembrance for fallen officers(when officers from around the country-including Lakewood-travel to Washington to partake in it) that was held about 5 weeks ago. He was in DC but was too busy hosting some actress(if I remember correctly). Letters mean nothing. Mr. Obama likely never saw the letter.
where is obaa`s letter to pollard ? he wasnt allowed to attend his dads funeral.
#3 – Don’t get too excited over this letter. My bet is Mr Obama doesnt even know that it was sent. The letter is a typical letter that the white house sends every time a police officer is killed in the line of duty, and the signature is most probably a stamp.
interesting article on Obamas signature machine.
i think you should post the whole thing
the guys a farce
New Jersey must not forget “Poetry Night” at the White House on 5/10/2011, where one of the guests was the rapper, Common. Common celebrated Assata Shakur, in his song “A Song for Assata.” In 1973 she executed Trooper Werner Foerster with his own gun.
It takes time for the CIA to create official documents. Photoshop has a steep learning curve.
