9-11 Family Declines Obama White House Invite: “It’s Nothing But a Photo-Op” (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, May 5, 2011, 11:45 AM
At least one 9-11 family declined to meet with Obama today. They called it a photo-op.
The Obama Administtation carefully selected 50 9-11 families to join them at the White House this week. At least one declined.
The Sun-Sentinel reported:
As 50 carefully selected families prepare to join President Barack Obama for a ceremony at the World Trade Center site Thursday, one of the invited 9/11 families have decided to pass on the Commander-in-chief’s visit.
Although many consider it to be a once in a lifetime invitation, the Vigiano family of Deer Park, Long Island have respectfully declined.
“If this form letter was the invitation, it was kinda lame,” John Vigiano told PIX 11 News when describing the email invitation sent to him from the White House…
…Jeannie Evans, of Elmont, who lost her baby brother firefighter Robert Evans on 9/11 will also not be there Thursday. She wasn’t invited.
“I guess I feel lucky and leftout,” Evans said as she held a picture of her brother. “Its always a select few. Is it fair? No. We all have voices.”
Evans says she will probably watch Obama’s visit on television but wishes she could ask him a few questions.
“Why not show us proof, that Bin Laden was killed? I would like to see that,” wondered Evans.

To be fair, a special invite by Obama to attend a speech or ceremony generally doesn’t turn out well for the invitee, of late. So some might prefer to avoid the public attack. Learn from the mistakes of others, such as Paul Ryan, the SCOTUS, Trump, etc.

This is the most disgusting presidency in the history of the republic!
Mike Malloy is being given a free pass by the FCC!
He and others (Piven, Smiley, Trumka, Benjamin and Stern) like him are openly advocating treason and the assassination of a former US president while Chairman O takes a campaign victory lap in NY to play to his cronies for political gain!

OUTRAGE!

An email form letter is an invitation to attend a Presidential event? You can’t make a silk purse out of a pig’s ear and quite obviously you can take the boy out of the ghetto, but no matter how fine a suit you put him in, a no account no mannered boor is always a no account boor with no manners or class.
Gini commented:
A form letter email; not even individualised? As Granny said “You can’t make a silk purse out of a pigs ear”.

We Are Not Birthers, We Are Not Deathers, We Are Proofers!
Asking For Real Proof Does Not Make You A Conspiracy Theorist.
In This Context “Conspiracy Theorist” Is Just Another Euphemism For Crazy.
The Government-Media-Islamo-Commie-George Soros Funded-Complex (Such That It Is) Seems To Be Trying To Create The Narrative That All People Who Insist On Seeing Actual Proof Are Crazy.
So They Label Us “Conspiracy Theorists”, “Deathers”, Or “Birthers”.
Sadly, It Seems To Be Working.

I know I shouldn’t be shocked, but the form letter, emailed invitation – not even personalized – is almost beyond believing.
FarRight commented:
“at least one declined”…congrats for finding the whack-job among the 9-11 families. All kinds of people died in that horrible event: conservatives, liberals, Republicans, Democrats, white, black, latino, Jew, christians, Muslims, hindus, buddists, atheists…and parnoid nut cases.

Far Right,
I just watched an interview with David Beamer (Todd Beamer’s father). He declined the invite from BO and he had some very harsh words for BO.
FarRight commented:
Harsh words for BO are one thing (I have plenty of those), paranoid fantasies and conspiracy theories (we need more proof) are another.

9/11 “VICTIMS” have to be “INVITED”.. WTF??
in case no one has noticed, “we the people” are not only no longer
“FREE”, but subject to Dear Leaders whims..beyond expectations of
the reason for his politicizing 9/11.. this was NOT A “BY INVITATION
ONLY” WHITE HOUSE PARTY..
IF ANYONE DESERVES TO BE THERE IT IS THE FAMILIES OF THE MAN
OBAMA HAS EXHIBITED MORE RESPECT FOR THAN HIS 9/11 VICTIMS
Obama threw some flowers over at Ground Zero in 2008.
He hasn’t been back since.
WAKE UP AMERICA!!

I don’t know of a single soul who has said that we need MORE proof, Far”Right.”
Thus far NO PROOF has been brought forth and circumstances are such that virtually NO PROOF that would be admissible in even the most liberal court in the world can now be obtained. That is neither “paranoid” nor a “conspiracy”. That is a FUBAR that can be directly laid at the feet of the Obama Regime.

re: #12

But didn’t.
Wouldn’t.
re: the 182, have no clue how that happened..

i take it that you not only did not lose a “loved one” on 9/11,
but are accepting of anyhting BHO has to say as having been
“written in stone”.. /s/

Obama has yet once again successfully turned a tragic
event into a despicable “IT’S ALL ABOUT ME” showcase..

commonman commented:
Good for these families members whom realize they would be use as prop and the death of the love ones, this is a president whom never took the time to visited ground zero before today never meet with any family members of 9/11 before today.

@#11 FarWrong-
“Harsh words for BO are one thing (I have plenty of those)”-liar.
“paranoid fantasies and conspiracy theories (we need more proof) are another.”-paranoid? fantasies? conspiracy theories? more proof? OMG. You’re such a TROLL.
FarWrong vs Truth:
paranoid vs steadfastly vigilant
fanatasies vs cold reality
conspiracy theories vs unproven facts
more proof vs just give us 1 fact
Be careful when NObama turns too quickly, he just might brake your neck.

UM. I don’t give any of our hard-earned dollars to cable or sat tv, so what exactly was the reason for a 9/11 memorial on 5/5?
It was actually confusing this morning to read Obama was commemorating 9/11 at Ground Zero. SInce I’m to lazy to look up anything today, ss there something interesting about 5/5?
If one really was tired of internet solitaire, 5+5=10 …the holy number of Islam.
I know…sorry…sorry.

Wanumba….
“5/5″ 5 divided by 5 is one…..Won…..I won……
sorry…..

This media is demonic. This man is being used as a tool to try to win campaign points for this impostor. He said he was honored that the “president” was in NYC. How horrible that we live in a country with such demons with cameras in their faces.
