Priorities Mr President, priorities

I have read this on a few sites recently but this time it was on Three Beers Later:
'"... when Patrick Collins called the White House and asked to have President Obama call his ex-wife, Linda, to talk about their son... He was told that Obama did not regularly make phone calls to the families of fallen soldiers.


Later, Patrick Collins read a story about Obama’s phone call to Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffery Lurie. Obama reportedly praised Lurie for giving quarterback Michael Vick a second chance to play football after serving time in prison for running a dog fighting ring.


“That burns,” Patrick Collins said Thursday.


“Any soldier that gets killed in action, you’d think the president would be calling someone in the family. There’s no politics in it. His predecessor did it,” Collins said.'

Presidents and Prime Ministers are always there to be seen when there is some sporting achievement to celebrate. What's the chance of Cameron being there when the Test Team returns from Australia? And when did we last see anyone in this government to Wootton Bassett when the bodies of fallen soldiers are returned?
They're all the same.

Agree with English Pensioner. They are all mouth and no trousers.
