Mr. President: Just what are your priorities?

  So one of the stories going around the blogs, in case you've been out of the loop, is that our president doesn't have the time to call the families of dead soldiers.
  It's kinda like people who don't have time to work out. It's all about priorities.
  There's a lot of anger out there, because one soldier's family received a form letter of sympathy from Sen. Maria Cantwell which misidentified the soldier in the last paragraph, indicating no one proofread the letter and it was just a form letter that the senator's office sent to every dead soldier's family.
  When the father of this dead soldier realized how upset his ex-wife was about the entire incident and the trauma of having lost their son, he called the White House to ask if our president would consider calling his ex-wife to console her, as President Bush did on many occasions. 
  In fact, President Bush, who sent thousands of soldiers to war, continues to this day to visit wounded soldiers
  He also gave up golf out of respect for the families.
  What was our current president's response to the dead soldier's father's request for a few minutes out of his day to call a family member?
  Here is the response:
  President Obama does not regularly make phone calls to the families of fallen soldiers.
  The father's anger only increased when he read our president made a cheerful phone call to Michael Vick, dog murderer and ex-con.
  The latter wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the former. 
  Oh, well.
  It's not like The One brings luck with him, wherever he goes or whomever he calls.
