I thought you might find the following article from snopes.com interesting:
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/eaglescouts.asp
It explains the truth about the unsigned certificates. Hope this helps clear
this up as the Eagle Scout programs are so wonderful and produces such
wonderful young men. I hate it when something puts both the President in a bad
light and brings some attention to the Eagle Scout program that is negative

BOY SCOUTS
Every President since 1912 has been the honorary President of
the Boy Scouts of America. President Obama refused that honor.
Did you hear anything about the Boy Scouts 100th Anniversary?
Why did the press ignore it? Let's see, because they promote honor, integrity,
putting others first, love of country and of course, they believe in God.
Not much press coverage on this story either, the first
president in 100 years to insult his finest citizens, Eagle Scouts.
John Beauregard, CEO of the South Texas Council of the Boy
Scouts of America joins us just after 7AM. David Haynie has two sons who have
achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. Dave Hiser's son is working on his Eagle
Scout award now.
This is the E-mail Linda Thacker sent to Glenn Beck and I
forwarded to Glenn's producer Adam.
Dear Mr. Beck,
On March 24, 2009 I had the honor of attending my Grandson,
David Osborne's Eagle Scout Court of Honor. I imagine you have attended one of
these wonderful ceremonies. I also feel confident that you are very
knowledgeable of what it means to have earned the status of Eagle Scout. Our
entire family is so very excited and at the Court of Honor we were all just
beaming as our wonderful young man was honored for his achievements.
After the Court was closed David's leaders pulled him aside and
explained to him that they regretted to have to explain to him, as sad as it
is, that his certificate was different from others they had presented because
his certificate did not have the signature of the President of the United
States ..
They explained that Obama does not support the Boy Scouts of
America and therefore does not sign the Eagle Certificates. To date I believe
there may be as many as 10,000 of this countries finest young men who do not
have the signature of the president of the country they have taken an oath to
respect and serve on their Eagle Certificate.
To my knowledge Congress chartered BSA in 1916 part of which
the President of the United States is the Honorary President of The Boy Scouts
of America and Obama is the first sitting president to personally REFUSE to
sign these certificates.
I believe if the country were to be educated on national
television of what the Boy Scouts of America stands for they would join those
of us who already know, and would be as outraged as we are! Also, your good
friend Jim Lago was also in attendance at this Eagle Court of Honor. I had the
privilege of speaking with him this morning on his radio talk show here in
Corpus Christi and shared with him this same information. He was egually
alarmed..... to say the least.
This information should ignite in every parent the urgency to
instill the great values held by the Boy Scouts of America in their young men
for the cause of maintaining this great nation. We must stand united.
With appreciation, Linda Thacker, grandmother to eleven of
Americas finest future citizens, David, Erikka, Adam, Ryan, Hailey, Tygh, Mana,
Gerritt, Maya, Ezra and Lynden Osborne.
So, that's the story thus far, calls have been made, citizens
are angry, especially the parents of Eagle Scouts.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if ex-president Bush announced, he
would be willing to sign all Eagle Scout Certificates for as long as President
Obama is in office?
We have a very small man in a very big office ... THAT DOES NOT
KNOW THE MEANING OF "HONOR"!
Don't you think it's time to get rid of this Un-American Muslim
Traitor and get a real American back to running our country, like what we grew
up with? Because I have had enough.
If you feel like I do, please pass this on.
