Debra Burlingame, Sister of Pilot Whose Plane Crashed in Pentagon 09/11, Says Obama Turned Back on Her After Meeting

Was it fair for Debra Burlingame, sister of Chip Burlingame, the pilot of the plane that crashed into the Pentagon, to accost President Barack Obama during the wreath laying ceremony at Ground Zero to ask him about Eric Holder's actions in dealing with KSM? When he didn't give her the response she wanted, she was upset. That was in poor taste. There's a time and place for everything. Above all, President Bush seemed to have lost interest in pursuing Osama Bin Laden at one point, so I am not sure how this has all become President Obama's fault why it took so long to find this POS. The important thing is we got him.
Debra Burlingame, the sister of Chip Burlingame (pilot of the plane that crashed into the Pentagon) met with President Obama today, along with other families who were victims of 9/11. Burlingame said she confronted Obama about Attorney General Eric Holder prosecuting the men who interrogated KSM, which may have produced intelligence leading us to bin Laden.

Burlingame describes the encounter with Obama: "As a former attorney I know you can't tell the Attorney General what to do, he said, 'No, I can't.' But I said 'we -- that shouldn't stop you from giving your opinion. We wouldn't be here today if they hadn't done their jobs. Can't you at least give them your opinion.' And he said 'no I won't,' and he turned around and walked away." Source: Real Clear Politics
To say he turned his back on her as a slight to her is just wrong. He said what he had to say and walked off. Did Ms. Burlingame expect POTUS to grovel? Oh, like Stepin Fetchit?
