"SNIP.........

Unlike the man who is currently president of the United States, former President Barack Obama wrote a letter to the parents of 35-year-old Michael Schulman, a teacher who died in the Parkland shooting trying to protect his students.

According to New York Magazine, Michael Schulman and Linda Beigel Schulman received the handwritten letter earlier this month.

“Your son seemed like an extraordinary young man, and Michelle and I grieve alongside you,” said the letter. “We can only imagine the hardship you are going through; hopefully all the wonderful memories can help ease the pain. We’ll get the details about your fund in his honor. In the meantime, you are in our thoughts and prayers.”

......

“I received no correspondence whatsoever. I received nothing from the White House,” she said. “I got a beautiful letter from Marco Rubio. I’ve gotten letters from other congressmen. But no, nothing from the president.”

........SNIP"

Human life doesn't mean the same thing to him that it does to you and me.

Obama is pure class and 45 is the most putrid trash. Wouldn't want a letter from that piece if shit under any circumstance.

the candles and ugly photo during one of my monthly "binding spells" on the moron. Then It's bury it in my yard under the moron's tombstone marker with the ashes of remnants from past spells.
