Again, how could you were a bracelet for months on your wrist and not remember the guy's name?Gary R.

I said that I had no idea how much a photo and the postage would cost, but I'd pay whatever, and as proof of my good intentions, I included a postage paid envelope to the American Diabetes Assocation with a check, as Dungy was part of the ADA's national fundraising effort. <BR/><BR/>A month later, I got a "thank you" letter from the ADA, but as of today's date, I have received no reply from Dungy. Do I have the right to publicly slam Dungy as a selfish man?<BR/><BR/>Of course not. Because as an educated man, I can easily ascertain that some peon at the Colts organization opened the mail, forwarded the check, and forgot to respond, which explains why I didn't even get a letter saying something akin to "Neither Tony Dungee nor any member of the Colts will provide autographed photos." <BR/><BR/>But when you are desperate to sully Senator Obama, you'll act as if he personally got the request and wore the bracelet anyway. <BR/><BR/>The problem is that this lady communicated her request via e-mail. Obama for America receives literally tens of thousands of e-mails per week. I've sent three e-mails to the campaign, the first of which was in March, and I have not received a personal response yet. <BR/><BR/>If you can prove Obama knew of this request and still wore the bracelet, Advance Indiana, DO IT. <BR/><BR/>But don't insult all of our intelligence by acting like not-speedy-enough staff work by college kids charged with sorting the massive piles of e-mail to the Obama campaign into the right piles is the same as Senator Obama's callous indifference to someone's suffering. <BR/><BR/>You'll get people like "mollysheep" who buy into your ridiculous hype. (Of course, she probably hates Dungy now, too).Chris Wordenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00558836541249077077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1873884993906646352008-09-28T18:45:00.000-05:002008-09-28T18:45:00.000-05:00Of course, the ex-husband disagrees...he is (accor...Of course, the ex-husband disagrees...he is (according to news reports) a McCain supporter, and his ex-wife supports Obama.<BR/><BR/>Obama is wearing the bracelet with the ex-wife's blessing, not the ex-husband's.Hoosier in the Heartlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049824713120857184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-52104551903277949372008-09-28T15:31:00.000-05:002008-09-28T15:31:00.000-05:00Its just disgusting that Obama would use someone e...Its just disgusting that Obama would use someone else's pain to further himself.
