White House reviews policy banning Obama from sending condolence letters for military suicide
December 9th, 2009


WASHINGTON — The White House says it is reviewing a long-standing policy that prevents President Barack Obama from sending a condolence letter to families of service members who have committed suicide.

Some families want the policy overturned and are lobbying the White House to do so.

Press secretary Robert Gibbs said Wednesday that the policy is under review. He could not say when it would be completed.

1. Is this policy or just a bad habit?

2. Somebody on KFI Fascist Talk Radio was bitching about it, implying that Obama personally
instituted the policy when he took office.
